The calendar turns again

This is kind of a special month for me. It’s going to fly by because it’s already packed full of both fun and responsibilities. January will be a month of rest and relaxation to recover from this one. And I won’t have to fight the job for that relaxation next month. No more staying up all night unless I want to.

I’d like to start reading a book a month. I’ve had my fill of technical manuals and articles. Time to read for enjoyment. I have a few on the stand already and one on the Xmas list.

I just thought of a great benefit of retirement. Of course, I read emails on the job but I also spend a good bit of time reading it off hours so that will also be nice to devote that to other interests.

It’s been a productive day and I hope to accomplish a little more this evening. Time to assemble the artificial tree in the basement.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Today is special because I’m putting up Xmas lights. So the rest of the day is gravy.
  • Got the cover on the car before the rain this time. Good boy.
  • I like to burn a candle on cold days, it makes me feel warm.
  • I try not to eat too much bacon but just every once in a while, it’s so good.
  • Experimenting is fun. Not always that productive but sometimes something good comes from it.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
