This is something I work on. Often, my decision is to wait. However, creating my YouTube channel has shown me that not waiting can be a lot more rewarding. I’m glad I made a decision. Don’t be a squirrel.

After four months of scanning papers and photos, I finished the last pile. I’m so glad to do something else. All told, I scanned 5,300 items. I had no idea that I had so much paper in my life. The funny thing is that I didn’t know I had most of the paper and probably…
I was in the mood for a good quote, so I went looking for one about spring. I meant spring, the season, but most of the quotes I found were about spring, the verb. I was about to try another word when I found a quote I liked by Pliny the Elder. (A fan-favorite for…
(If you can’t see the video, click on the post title. It will take you to the Footle and Grok site.) In 2019, I spent a month in Alaska. I really wanted to see a grizzly bear in the wild, up close but not too up close. I saw my bear on a TV inside…
Camp Nanowrimo is halfway done, and my book is progressing wonderfully. It helps that I’m posting my YouTube write-ins every day in April, so I’m writing at least ten minutes every day.

I’ve been watching a lot of vlog brothers videos by Hank and John Green (it’s nice that they’re only four minutes long.) I knew of Hank first because of his science videos, but John Green is well known because he writes YA books that everyone reads. Except me. And that is what I find interesting.…
Happy Scrabble Day. I love words, but I don’t love Scrabble (I prefer Trivial Pursuit.) I get frustrated when I don’t have the letter I want or when someone beats me to the perfect location on the board. I guess I like to be in control of my words. However, Scrabble does have an interesting…
The best way to get me to do something is to tell me I can’t. (I wonder if that could work with my diet?) I inherited a stubborn streak from my dad, and he inherited it from his mom. Once I get an idea in my head, I figure out how to do it. I…
***It turns out Ingenuity will not fly today. The flight date has been moved to April 14, hopefully.*** I was listening to a local morning radio show, and he was talking about why we celebrate April Fool’s Day. He said that New Year’s Day was in April until 1582. That confused me because I was…
NASA is planning to fly Ingenuity tomorrow. Can you imagine? Humans are going to fly on Mars. I assume that Perseverence is going to record the event even though the rover is far away from the little helicopter. There will be a lifestream report from NASA early on the 12th that you can watch here.…
