- I’m an allergy sufferer and this time of season sucks, I mean blows.
- I always get a kick out of this time of year because most people are confident that all the cold weather is past us. I learned the hard way, that there’s always at least one more very cold day or spell before the end of spring break.
- My church, which averages around 125 for our Sunday service, has had two major deaths of middle-aged men this week. I guess all deaths are major, but these two men were well-known and engaged in the life and work of the church. One death was due to a long debilitating illness, so it wasn’t a surprise. The other was a surprise. It just gets you thinking.
- A silly game I like to play when I get sent a text for two-factor authorization is to only look at the verication code once and see if I can correctly remember it as I input it into my browser.

I don’t know a lot about landscaping or marketing, but I don’t think it’s a bad practice to plant an obstruction (like a bush) in front of your low-to-the-ground brick sign. Somebody yank those bushes up and plant some school-colored petunias.
- I own several web domains. One of them is my last name and ends in a dot com. It redirects to this blog. I’ve owned it for twenty years. The previous owner used it as a personal website. I remember it featured both him and his dog and looked better than what one could put together at the time with Geocities. My brother altered me to it and shared he thought we had similar facial features and could even see a bit of our father in him. I thought it was an odd thing to say. People used to say how my brother and I looked very similar, so I wondered why he didn’t think he shared any similarities with the man. A few years later I learned what everyone else in the family already knew, my brother had a different father. Then, it made sense. A year or two later I checked on the website and found it was for sale, so I pulled the trigger thinking it’s cool to own my family’s domain name, though I had no idea what I was going to do with it. I still don’t know what to do with it, but I just like owning it. This week, the domain hosting company reached out to me and said someone is offering $1,500 for it. Now, I have to figure out how much it is literally worth to me. Truth is, I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s for that amount, even if I’m not doing anything with it. In case you are wondering how one is contacted about such a thing, here’s the simple email I received.
- World’s oldest unchanged brand changes logo for the first time in over 140 years
- Confession: I’ve never heard of the Blue Ridge Parkway – Top 10 most visited NPS sites in 2023 (Please remember where I went to high school and college.)
- I ran across this on a dating profile and had no idea:
In case you also didn’t know: The fruit’s green and red colors resemble the Palestinian flag, which was banned by the Israeli government in 1967 . By using the watermelon emoji, TikTok users are able to show their support for Palestine without explicitly mentioning it or displaying the fLAG.
