Back to Blogging

6 Comments

If one hasn’t blogged in awhile and it happens to all of us then there is pressure to post something lengthy to make up for it.

My recommendation is a couple of short paragraphs just to get things going again. Perhaps it can “set the table” if you will for other posts. It can get people used to seeing you again. The risk of not posting regularly is losing followers who prune their reading lists frequently.

Posting can be as simple as sharing a picture or maybe a quote. Don’t feel like you have to churn out 1000 or more words at a time when maybe 100 will do the trick of getting you back in the game.

Keep on blogging good people whenever you can.

Confirmation Class At St. Peters Episcopal

Leave a comment

On Sunday we are starting a confirmation class at a nearby Episcopal Church we are interested in. This class will help us know more about the local church and the greater Episcopal church. It will last six weeks and could lead to us joining. I am excited about getting started and seeing what God might have in store for us. We have been visiting some churches locally but are settling down for awhile. It should be fun.

This is what came from our slow cooker tonight. It was savory, tasty and easy to prep. Plus it will feed us for about 3 meals. Try it out for yourself.

This is way cool. Very fitting tribute to two British institutions.

Here’s What Keeps Americans From Cutting the Cord — The Motley Fool

Very slowly, Americans are cutting the cord with traditional pay-television providers.It’s not the mass exodus that has been predicted, even though the alternatives to cable and satellite are extensive, convenient, and inexpensive.

For some this is a real choice to paying for both TV and Broadband at the same time. I still prefer to watch shows on a real TV and watching as it comes over the air live. Many folks will get a old school over-the-air antenna to get digital TV channels from their local broadcasters.

Doctor Who, The New Season Starts Tonight!

2 Comments

ItIf it's Saturday...It's Doctor Who is a high holy day in the nerd/geek community today. A new season of Doctor Who​ is upon us. The Doctor and Clara are here to save the day. I am excited to see what adventures await. The one thing about this show is that it is fluid but also stays the same which is interesting for a time traveling Time Lord. I predict tonight is going to be good on BBC America.
