Can’t quite believe it, but December is almost over. Seems like this year has flown by so fast. I haven’t got much done with my writing this year, which is disappointing. Fitness has improved, and I can walk further now without struggling. Lost some weight, so that is going in the right direction. Getting the…
Where do you do your creative thinking? I have an office and this is where I should be doing my work but I made the mistake of filling my “man cave” with stuff! When I am in here supposed to be working I end up watching TV or browsing or playing games. Occasionally I do…
Just watched a video from Philip Defranco on Youtube…. It was showing the fighting at Wallmart in the states when Americans were in what can only be described as a mosh pit trying to get to the deals in the electronics section.
