I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
I knew about Ceasar, but was surprised to find out how far back that dates goes when it comes to disasters. It's no wonder Shakespeare went for that date
More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them. - Harold J. Smith
Hi.
I think this quote brings to much criticism to people. Sometimes it takes years to find out things other people may know and refuse to tell you. Since there is very seldom people around who want to speak plainly about anything that they may have information about in someone's life. Sure, there are mistakes in every person's life. Unless you are close to someone you cannot always tell if something they did was a mistake. I would have to know what kind of mistake this quote is about. Who Harold J. Smith is and what made him say this? There is more here omitted than meets the eye.
My experience is that to speak plainly in concern to someone can get you a nasty behind your back argument. so, most people just don't get involved.
I do not make any specific plans for Easter weekend. I will continue daily to study scripture and pray on my own. I have things written to post on writing.com which will get done, I hope. Then, I have a dinner for the two of us planned for Easter day. To me, it is a Holy weekend.
