Hi, derry day in the month of May
Was the song the minstrel sang
To the good of Robin Hood
Maid Marion and all the gang
Gordon Lightfoot
Oh sure, it was fresher yesterday but you should have been at church instead of reading blogs. I should have too, but I was working at the park.
Ox in the ditch. You know the drill.
Here we are with a new month and we have to figure out what to do with it. The weather is finally turning warmer. Soon the pools will open and we’ll be complaining
about the heat of the summer.
However, let me just say that I prefer the heat of the summer to winter any day.
Here in May the projects continue. I work to maintain this blog, to complete The 100 Day Project, and to work on the one project I’ve determined to focus on for six weeks.
Let’s just say that I’ve not quite made the progress I had hoped.
I’m not working on that right now, but I did write down the revised outline.
We should also not forget that May is the month for graduations, mothers, and honoring those who gave all.
In case you haven’t looked at the calendar. This coming Sunday is Mother’s Day.
You are welcome for the reminder.
Let’s get on with the week.
American singer and actress, Naomi Judd died on Saturday at the age of 76.

And it turned out that was a real story. You failed when you said we couldn’t read about whether COVID had come from a lab. You failed!” Read More.

The Art of Manliness
While technology has made so much of life easier, all that is best in it, all that leads to success — all relationship-building, conversation-making, craft-honing, and subject-mastering — still requires uninterrupted focus, persistent dedication, what Nietzsche called “a long obedience in the same direction.” Read More.
