A little late today. I drove up to my sister's house last night to watch the NCAA Division I Volleyball National Championship game between Nebraska and Stanford. I was, of course, cheering for Nebraska, but sadly they couldn't pull off winning the championship for the second straight year. They lost to Stanford in five … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 12/16/2018

November Summary, December Preview
So November was a month. It was not the most productive month I've ever had. This was partly due to my being busy at work and partly due to being in a bit of a reading slump. It's not like I didn't want to read, I just couldn't pick anything. Or, I didn't have enough … Continue reading November Summary, December Preview
October Summary, November Preview
Happy Halloween! It's been lovely around here for the past week. Absolutely perfect weather and brilliant Fall color, but today dawned gray and cloudy and the leaves are quickly falling. November always gets grayer and darker with every day that passes. I will miss October. In spite of the (mostly) fantastic month, I didn't get … Continue reading October Summary, November Preview

Someday I am going to look back through my bullet journal and wonder why I wrote "Who is the patron saint of umbrellas?". Or perhaps not. I have always had rotten luck with umbrellas. It's been a week of clouds and rain, and especially so on my day off. I decided to walk over to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
September Summary and October Preview
Farewell, September! Except for a mid-month heat wave, this was a pretty great month. Cooler weather, the official beginning of Fall, a couple of days off for short-range travel, and the chance to get a lot of things in order. September also saw the beginning of my Lord of the Rings Reread Project, which has … Continue reading September Summary and October Preview

Fall is here! It's finally here! And we have the weather to match the season! Seriously, though, all this week I wondered if the weather was really going to shift to something more autumnal. For most of the week, the highs were in the 90°s with plenty of humidity. Around 3:00pm on Thursday afternoon … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
Sunday Sum-Up
It never rains but it pours, and I mean that in more than one way. First off, we had ten inches or more of rain in the first part of the week, which caused minor flooding along the streams and rivers, and the lake I like to visit after work completely flooded the park and … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
August Summary and September Preview
And like that, it's September already! To be honest, I'm not sorry to see August go. It was a perfectly fine month, but I don't like Summer. Heat and I do not get along, and August always has more than its fair share of heat and humidity. I'm looking forward to September's cooler temperatures … Continue reading August Summary and September Preview

We had a taste of autumnal weather this week-- rainy, with daily highs around 75°F. It was perfect. Until Friday came around, and the temperatures hopped back up to 90°F with humidity somewhere above 80%. Just standing outside makes a person feel miserable. Get here soon, Fall! Because it was so cloudy for most of … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up
July Summary and August Preview
We're in the back half of summer now. The kids are grudgingly getting ready to go back to school, and the teachers are dragging their feet even more than their students are. I'm looking forward to cooler days and the chance to go outside more often without worrying about melting. Summer is definitely not my … Continue reading July Summary and August Preview
