I pondered a bit whether to post this at all. DeWayne has a tremendous sense of clarity, and an awesome delivery style. He's done this to me once or twice, where he comes along and leaves me gape jawed. He's reflecting on one of St. Paul's letters (1 Corinthians, I believe) but he delves back … Continue reading That hit Home

He’s Right, of Course
I really enjoy Tack Room Bible Talk, on the YouTubes. Usually, he'll cover a concept, or passage and spend a bit of time fending off the various Pharisees. He'll say, it's not about dogma. He's only interpreting the word. Last week, he veered away from the bible and had a chat for the women. https://youtu.be/XpOLgUZ2yTE?si=AEPhBteVfF4zN5iq … Continue reading He’s Right, of Course
Getting Fit
Haven't done one of these in a minute. Now that I'm settled, I can get back on track with my fitness regimen. It took a bit of a battering over the holidays, especially with the move. My weight is right where it's been for over a year. A little heavier, thanks to the holidays. I've … Continue reading Getting Fit
Resolutions?
It was an interesting New Years. One of the things you'll notice during some holidays in Texas is a certain amount of happy fire. In Plano, that sound would be far off. You'd hear a distinct series of reports, all clipped, in an evenly spaced 6, 7, or 15 pattern. Clearly not firecrackers. So you'd … Continue reading Resolutions?
A New Beginning
Happy New Year! This is a new beginning for me. Got a new pace in a new town. I've already started meeting people. Meeting new friends has never been hard for me. Living down here has made my life way easier. I have some things to wrap up in Plano, but they're easy. I have … Continue reading A New Beginning
Refugee Moving
The best-laid schemes of mice and men. I'm readying to move. Got the new house. Packing up the old house. I rented the new place a month in advance so I wouldn't have to refugee move. I said that on a call this week and one of my coworkers asked what a refugee move was. … Continue reading Refugee Moving
Not a Fan
There's a guy at my Church that does physical/occupational therapy that holds sessions every week as a ministry. Several of my friends (older ones) go to these. One, in particular, always wore the same type of Nikes I used to buy. As a testament to their declining quality, you could hear him coming from across … Continue reading Not a Fan
Email Hygiene
I got one of those funny emails this week. You know the ones where some 'master hacker' says he owns your machine and has vidya of you wanking he's going to distribute to your contact list unless you send some bitcoin. Yeah. That would be some amazing hack, by the way. I don't do pron. … Continue reading Email Hygiene
Better to Rust than Burn Out
I got caught up in another DeWayne video. This one on his Dry Creek Wrangler School channel. https://youtu.be/IbqUTHHRMn4?si=eAI4VRfEHNUw9_hz This was on the stages of life. More specific, when us guys get long in the tooth. He starts off talking about his old horse that he brought down there - Boone. Boone has been his main … Continue reading Better to Rust than Burn Out
Getting Fit
I didn't do a fitness post at the start of the month. Didn't seem to have much to say. I tipped the scales at 188. My weight has been in a 5 lb range for most of the year. That tells me my diet and exercise are on track. A little less eating out, more … Continue reading Getting Fit
