Our dog of 14 years is being put down today. It’s the humane thing to do, but it’s still not easy…

Sit Rep Sunday, Bible Study Course Update
The 12 Foundation Stones Course has been online for a month now, and it’s got 73 students already. I have it available for free, for now, as that’s what we’ve been charging when we were running the course in person. Yes, it costs something to run the site and all that, but someone’s donated the…
Sit Rep Sunday, Missed It Again!
Muster 017 just finished. I’d like to make it for the San Diego one in January, but funds are tight. And like I said to a friend in Europe, ‘Five tickets are expensive, one ticket just seems selfish.’ That’s just talking about the plane tickets, not Muster tickets. Let’s not even get into food and…
Sit Rep Sunday, Feeling the Blahs…
12foundationstonescourse.com is live! (Christian/Bible study course) All my proofreading projects are completed! (Side hustle/helping out friends) My three boys are well ahead of where they should be scholastically. (I homeschool them) I’m steadily making progress through the Jocko Podcasts and turning them into JcNuggets. (I post them on YouTube and advertise a link to them…
Thoughts While I Read: Show Your Work, Finale
Book says, ‘You just have to be as generous as you can, but selfish enough to get your work done.’ I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t have ‘success’ as the general population sees it: followers, financial gain, likes, shares, emails, etc. I just plug along and do it. If it helps someone,…
Thoughts While I Read: Show Your Work, Continuing On and On
Book says, ‘The more people come across your work, the more criticism you face,’ and, ‘Let people contact you directly or let them copy your work over to their own spaces and talk about it all they want.’ Maybe this is what has been holding me back from sharing my work and thoughts from people:…
Thoughts While I Read: Show Your Work, Continuing On
The book says, ‘If you share the work of others, it’s your duty to make sure that the creators of that work get proper credit,’ and ‘Find the right credit, or don’t share.’ I find it funny how X (formerly known as Twitter) has a ‘quote tweet’ and then more people comment and like that…
Thoughts While I Read: Show Your Work, Continues On and On
The book quotes science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon as saying that 90% of everything is crap. He was talking about creating and writing, but I think it applies to nearly everything else. All the things you do in a day, some people call it ‘busy work’, some people call it distractions, some people call it…
Thoughts While I Read: Show Your Work, Continues On
The book says, ‘If your work isn’t online, it doesn’t exist.’ I do and do not agree with this statement. There are various layers of what I’ve done and what I’ve created in my lifetime. Some are for my eyes only, some are meant to be shared with close friends and family, some are meant…
Thoughts While I Read: Show Your Work, Continual
The book talks about sharing the day-to-day process. Just documenting the process of learning something in a notebook and keep track of what’s going on and what you’re working on. I was thinking…and then he brought it up that…you need to focus on getting work done rather than showing your work being the end result….
