Soar above the clouds
My flight took off a few days after I quit my job.
I’d been landlocked for most of my life, but days after I met my last deadline I boarded a plane and took to the sky.
(more…)Bob Ross binges
Sometimes, I go on Bob Ross binges.
I’m not ashamed to admit I watch with a mixture of wonder and green envy at how someone can make a happy little tree emerge from a paint blot.
(more…)The days of June
We have come to the end of another month so I thought now would be as good a time as any to go on a written journey back through the days of June.
(more…)A note on change
Change is a fact of life.
There has been a lot of recent change, from the outbreak of coronavirus a few months ago to Mississippi’s vote to revamp its state flag last Sunday.

I have a confession to make.
I have put today’s post off until it’s too late to write a good one, which means another trip to the archives.
I’ve found the perfect post for Sue’s prompt today, which is “business.”

Since Sue’s prompt is “summer,” and I wrote about it a few days ago, we’ll go back into the archives today.
First, a few things you should know:
- The post you’ll see when you click the underlined words below was written in 2014, and Nana’s pool hasn’t been filled in years so I don’t swim anymore.
- There are only so many ways to describe the heat this time of year, and I thought this might provide a glimpse of an Alabama summer.
- Germany beat Brazil 7-1 in the 2014 World Cup.
Without further ado, from July 8, 2014, here’s a hundred words about swimming.
