Thoughts in My Head

I do not like this latest trend of audio podcasts doing a video version also and treating the audio version as a second-class citizen. Pretend I cannot see what you are doing or holding up because I can’t.

Even Ageless Wonders Age

The one thing that this year in sports is proving is that everyone ages, even Aaron Rodgers and Lebron James. Aaron Rodgers especially has shown the progress of age. His play this year has not been up to the standards people expect of him. He is not moving around as well as he use to and I don't think he is see the field like he use to. Now people are talking that Lebron James is starting to show his age. LeBron James, mired in shooting slump, is finally showing real signs of decline as he nears his 40th birthday The legs go first as you age and based his shooting, I think his legs are starting to go. It could just be a regular slump and I could be wrong of course, but I don't think so

Watching and enjoying the new Matlock series,

Woke up this morning to Icicles on the Window. Yes it is still snowing in Erie

Winter is Here!

I have decided that I would much rather rearrange or mess with my task manager app than actually do the tasks I am trying to manage

I have an old toaster oven. When you are toasting something, it makes a clicking noise as the timer goes down. Because the number of appliances we have is greater than the number of outlets, the toaster oven often gets unplugged. Unfortunately, the toaster oven makes the clicking noise whether the toaster is plugged in or not. So this morning, I put some bread in the toaster, set the timer, and walked away. After waiting for a while, I thought, “Um, I should have heard the timer by now.” I walked out to the kitchen and looked at the toaster and then looked at the empty outlet and sighed.

Just cut an onion 🧅 which was determined to defend itself to the max. The 🧅 almost won. 😭

View of autumn leaves over a stream

Currently having the yearly Halloween dilemma of whether to buy candy to give out, I can almost guarantee no one will come to the door. But it is the word almost that is catching me; if someone does come, I don’t want to be that person who has nothing to give out

Sent in my Pennsylvania ballot today! 🗳️ No matter who you are voting for, just vote or don’t complain

Autumn View

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken”-Oscar Wilde

• Sometimes, I am shy, quiet, clumsy, envious, quick to anger and stubborn
• Sometimes, I am kind, goofy, friendly, talkative, and full of wonder.
• All of this together is me.

My View on a Rainy Monday Morning

Morning at Lucky Bean

The area of Western North Caroline was devastated by Helena. The community is strong but struggling

Putting on warm socks on cold feet in the morning 🌄 is one of the most wonderful little things in life.

Why do I care what you think?

• I don’t even know your name, so why do I care what you think
• I have never met you face-to-face, so why do I care what you think
• All you want to do is criticize, and label me a fool, so why do I care what you think
• So why do I care what you think? Perhaps it’s the echo of doubt a whisper in the back of my mind
• It’s ok to doubt I am only human, but I will not let you define or affect me.
