Lord of the Castle

I started the day working on the bedroom remodel. Since my dentist used my mouth to polish up on his trench warfare skills yesterday, I wasn’t feeling all that energetic and only lasted until the early afternoon. So, what to do? Although I was plenty tired, I was too grungy to lay down anywhere. With the temperatures in the [...]

I won!!! I won!!! I won!!! About four months ago, my oldest daughter started her own blog. I pretended that I was interested and actually went to it and read what she had written. I told you about that I was hit with an  unexpected wave of insecurity when I saw how hip, how modern her blog [...]

Last week, before the mid-week church service began, the pastor walked up to me while I was typing on my computer. “What are you doing?” “Writing a post for my blog.” “Can you e-mail me the link. I’d like to read it.” “Sure.” Well, that little conversation has been haunting me ever since… “I can’t [...]

I don’t know if you noticed, but I have been running a little behind on this blog recently. Searching for a house has been eating up quite a bit of time. However, there is another cause for my delinquency… Last week, the news of the day compelled me to write on my political/culture blog, Counter Culture². And [...]

You have probably noticed some changes to the blog recently… I have been warning you that they are coming. However, if you have clicked on any of the new buttons, you have probably learned that I am not quite finished. If I knew how to program… But I don’t. My ignorance forces me to employ the [...]

I don’t know if you noticed, but I have changed the look of this blog. I have moved things around, changed font sizes, increased the writing area while decreasing the sidebars. It is not as easy as it sounds because it is all written in HTML code. I do not know HTML. However, I am [...]

I realize that I haven’t written in a few days… It’s my oldest daughter’s fault! She started a blog! And it’s good. Great picture (of course she has much better material to work with than I do!)…contemporary look…creative, fun writing…(I wonder where she gets that from? They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the [...]

I just noticed that this blog has had over 3,000 visitors! It makes me wonder what could have happened if I were more consistent in writing… Oh, well…I will keep trying to get better. If you are new, the post titled “The Beautiful Letdown” got me started blogging. The trip where I towed my car from [...]

I want to keep this blog free from politics. But, I think that there is a news story that you have not heard much about that really matters. I think that it goes a long way toward proving that our usual sources of news information have become politicized. I posted it on CounterCulture².

For the past few weeks, I have been writing a week’s worth of posts in a day. It seems that I am so consumed with looking for a job, learning to trade stocks and finding a house that it doesn’t dawn on me until the weekend that I have anything to write about. I will [...]
