Daily Prompt – Me and Sports

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

My favorite sport is Professional Wrestling, especially All Elite Wrestling. I also enjoy some college football at the FCS level and minor league soccer. I used to be a big basketball fan. Furthermore, I like to bowl and other low-impact activities.

Haircut Day

It was a buzz cut and beard trim day. All it takes is a trimmer to get my face and head looking its best. Thanks to Pam for making me look good.

Lunch at Mimi’s

I love a good Reuben sandwich. This one from Mimi’s Deli in the Hixson community of Chattanooga is quite tasty. Paired with fresh cut french fries makes for a great lunch to power the day’s activities.

Daily Prompt – My First Computer

Daily writing prompt
Write about your first computer.

My first computer was a Commodore Vic 20 which preceded the popular Commodore 64. It was a Christmas gift to me in 1982. I loved that machine because you could learn to program and play games. It was an 8-bit system, and it used a cassette tape drive and cartridges like a video game. It was also at a great price point of under $300 at the time. Furthermore, it really did a great job of getting technology to the people. Thanks to my mom and dad for gifting it to me and making me a happy boy.

Resistance Birds

People have started using their state birds as Rebel Alliance–inspired symbols (from Star Wars) to say, “this is where I am, and I’m not okay with what’s happening.” This is the Mockingbird from Tennessee.
