Jan 23 This new dishwasher lets me spend more time with my people and my other concerns. That's good technology, and it's worth the money. Some technology is not like that. Jan 22 I listen to sports talk radio a lot, but I never ever called or texted in. Jan 20 My family and I never yet had to reckon personally with a natural disaster. But I know it's coming. Better get ready. Jan 19 After an unpleasant task or day, food and drink is my comforting reward. Jan 18 For privacy, I keep my email and files and photos on my own computer and not on a cloud service. One day I might lose it all and it will be sad. I still think it's better that way, but I'll stop short of advising it. Jan 17 For today & tomorrow's games, I pick Broncos, Seahawks, Texans, Rams. Jan 16 It's been my privilege that I could choose to disconnect from most networking sites. There's some loss in that, but I don't have to deal with strangers trying to contact me on those. Jan 15 I had a dream where I was sneaking around in a stranger's house, and later in the dream I saw someone else sneak out of the garage at my parents house. Lately there must be a theme of trespass in my subconscious. Jan 14 Even though it's for everyone's best, I still find it sad work, this cleaning up the remains of a life so suddenly abandoned. Jan 13 So much for the Steelers. I was hoping for a closer game. Jan 12 Everyone was together again in the Sunday living room, and I felt joy in that moment. Jan 10 I'm sad I couldn't make it out to see more of our junior hockey team's games so far this season, but there were some unexpected challenges and I had to rearrange some things. Jan 9 I wonder if the word "garb" as in clothes, and the word garbage, have some ancient root word, or is it a coincidence. Jan 8 I hope you make that choice once again today, to recover. Jan 7 My wafflemaker failed me during the morning rush. I felt unreasonably upset about it in that moment. Jan6 I hope the Steelers win a playoff game this year.
