I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
I knew about Ceasar, but was surprised to find out how far back that dates goes when it comes to disasters. It's no wonder Shakespeare went for that date
Every New Year is different. This year was nice because we celebrated family Christmas at home this year. My two oldest boys never show up. They are missed.
The weather was on our side, and we had a nice time chatting and catching up on family news on New Years Day. Even the New York section of the group was here. Family left before the storm moved in. By morning we had 2 more feet of snow.
New Years Eve was quiet. This year we just turned in early and woke up in 2025.
Some years we watch the ball drop in NY city on TV. Other years we just watch TV or read until lights out. One year quietly moves out and leaves room for the New Year to move in.
