July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Not a dream a plan:  Every year I learn or relearn something. When I relearn something, it is usually to upgrade my knowledge about a subject I am already familiar with, like the year people started giving worming medicines to their horses instead of calling the Veterinarian to do it. Our minds never totally let go of the knowledge we learn. But when new knowledge becomes available on any subject, we need to upgrade just like a computer upgrade of windows or other tech. I used to play classical guitar. This year I am upgrading my playing abilities with knowledge of musical theory for guitar. I took a course in etss (ear training and sight singing) where we learned theory as it pertains to piano about 25 years ago. I also took courses in human biology a couple times during my lifetime so I'm going back to studying human biology this year. I have a restless mind I need to keep it actively learning. I'm actively seeking recommendations about books read about human aging. Let me know if you have read one. |
| I'll make me a sound and an apparatus and they'll call it a Fog Horn and whoever hears it will know the sadness of eternity and the briefness of life." by Ray Bradbury “Under the thinning fog the surf curled and creamed, almost without sound, like a thought trying to form itself on the edge of consciousness.” ― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep References from: {link: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/fog} For Prompt about metaphors:  Sometimes fog is clear enough to see through other times is is so thick it obliterates whatever it covers. People who rewrite my postings to suit themselves are not able to see the individuality of the human mind. Hope you are having a good day. Keep on Keepin on. |
