30 Days with a Minimal Wardobe

I’ve already mentioned that I want to try to get rid of most of my clothes and have a minimal wardrobe. I’m not quite to the point where I’m ready to get rid of them and take the plunge but I want to try it out to see how it will go. So for this … Continue reading 30 Days with a Minimal Wardobe →

Life In Masonry

When I was in my first season with the last drum corps I marched with, I took one of the tenor players under my wing to help him out. It was his first season with any corps and there was nobody there working with the tenor section so I felt somewhat obligated because I remember … Continue reading Life In Masonry →

The Great Camper Fire of '99

The Great Camper Fire of ‘99 I don’t remember what year this actually happened. I just know it was at my fourth home when I was a kid. That would put it somewhere around 1999-2001.

I try to make back-up plans but those … Continue reading My Love For Planning →

30 Days of Learning to Play Ocarina

I know I had originally planned to do Twitch streaming for this 30-day challenge. I ran into two problems with that plan. The first is that I only have enough time each day right now to stream for an hour if I get up an hour early to stream before work. That would be a … Continue reading 30 Days of Learning to Play Ocarina →

Energy Drinks

My life is very cyclical. There are times in the year when I only work a little over 40 hours each week. And there are times when I work from about 5:00am to about 11:00pm depending on the day for 6 days a week with just a few hours on the seventh day. I’d say … Continue reading Energy Drinks →

This Month I Want To Try Baking

I love baked goods. Even when they have substitutions to make them keto I have difficulty finding a baked good I don’t like. I just wish I could make them myself. I am pretty good at cooking because it’s more difficult to mess up. If you put too much of an ingredient in while cooking … Continue reading This Month I Want To Try Baking →
