This is my third week in a row where I am home alone for at least three days. My wife was in Austin, Kansas City, and now Charlotte for work. The last two weeks I worked at the barn, I went to a lunch and learn at the barn, I did yard work, and I … More A Lazy Week
On the same topic as yesterday – I spend more time talking to animals these days than I do talking to people. I thought about this last night when my dog wanted to go out during Survivor and I was telling her how had her timing was. I tell Abigail, the goat, that she’s being … More Talking to Animals
The above title was brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department and the fact that I used the title Alone Again, Naturally in December.

This is a whiny, poor me post. Feel free to skip and come back tomorrow when I will be back to just being boring. I am feeling very distant from everything these days for a variety of reasons. Most of them are the result of choices I made. Part of the distance has always been … More Tater, Once Removed
I was trying to remember when I have seen people from outside of my family. It was hard because I don’t have a lot of reasons to leave my house these days.

The news is full of talk of the Omicron variant school shootings, Olympic boycotts, a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine, and almost everything else bad you could conjure up. My kids are both living away from home. There’s a good chance I won’t see either of them until the 21st. My wife leaves for Kentucky … More Trying to Focus on the Positive
My wife has decided she needs to go back to Kentucky to help her mom again. I mentioned in an earlier post that she had fallen and broken her arm. My wife went to check on her and help her out some after it happened. She felt bad when she left, Her mom has a … More More Hermit Life Begins Today
