Muhammad Ali was not only a champion boxer but a champion for humanity and his faith. This morning we mourn his passing at age 74. He was an inspiration to many and a fierce competitor. Thanks champ for the memories.

National Donut Day 2016

Today was a day to honor the donut. Eat donuts. Enjoy donuts. We went to a local place for some tasty rings of deliciousness. There was a lemon filled, maple bacon, Snickers, Fruity Pebbles, peanut butter-chocolate, key lime…to wash it down some 2% moo juice (milk). We honor the donut for how it powers the community and the world.

YABAR – Yet Another Blog About Reblogging

OK, perhaps I am just overreacting and making a mountain out of a mole hill about this reblogging thing.

Here are a couple of ground rules for my followers…

  1. DO NOT reblog personal posts that include family and other personal pictures.
  2. Ask for permission if there is something original I have written that sounds academic or poetic or something that could be used to advance my life and career.
  3. Other posts are OK including my music posts and other posts about current events, culture, etc.

Maybe that will eliminate unnecessary drama and angst on my part. I really wanna play well with others and perhaps have some of my stuff get the eyeballs and ears of others across the blogosphere.

My Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy S5 has updated to the new version of the Android operating system. “Marshmallow” seems to be pretty good.  Looking forward to seeing how it works.

Sleep Challenged

It’s really early on a Friday morning and sleep is evading me. Work today is going to be tough on about 4 hours of sleep. Coffee will be my friend today. My coworkers will need to throw something at me if I nod off. I hope you got more sleep than I did.

Do not reblog, thank you
