I finally spent some time this week looking fot the bluetooth keyboard I knew was somewhere in the house. I looked in the spot where it used to live and it was not there. I checkd other likely locations. Nothing. My wife then checked her collection of things to possibly donate and there it was. … More Testing My New Writing Setup
I am currently laptop-less. My laptop traveled to college with my daughter and will remain there until hers is repaired. There is no timetable for this to happen. Until then, I am stuck with only an Ipad for writing. I hate writing on the Ipad for various reasons. It makes me less motivated to even … More Lacking Motivation
I’ve had a post idea in my mind now for over a week. I know I need to write it just to move past it. I’ve had grouble getting the idea from head to screen for various reasons. First, I didn’t write it because it kinda sorta is about Covid and I really didn’t want … More When You Can’t Find the Words
I wrote a sad, whiny post and then didn’t publish it because it seemed to much like a cry for attention and pity. It’s a dreary day and it is having a negative effect on my mood.

I use a very old laptop when I write. It was my daughter’s before she upgraded for college. When I started working from home I started using it for work. It was old and clunky, but it worked. I could do what I needed to do. Part of the screen was messed up. There was … More Laptop Woes

This is the time when I wish I had saved up some of the book tag type posts so I have a guide for … More How Do You Write When You Don’t Feel Right?
I have not liked anything I have written today so I will do the quick post I planned for Thursday morning to let everyone know about an upcoming semi-hiatus. If everything goes as planned I will be leaving Tater Town soon and will be away for a little over a week. I will be spending … More Upcoming Hiatus
I have written about this before. It has reared its ugly head again. I don’t use my real name on the blog. I have a Facebook page for Tater. The Tater page was not started for the blog. It started as a joke and then was the place I sometimes posted things I didn’t think … More The Down Side of Being Known
A while back I wrote about how it’s Hard to Be a Blogger When You’re Boring. I am reminded of that as I sit here contemplating what to write. I live in a place where everything is open at full capacity. I am fully vaccinated. Our positive percentage rate is below 1%. We have fewer than … More Still Boring
