July 22, 2015 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. |
 The Monthly Reading Challenge has been upgraded with style and rules. It really looks great and the new rules will certainly keep readers on their toes. Fran--Master of Plan! has been busy for sure with this plan.  I see Donald Trump's ratings are falling. This has to be the most unusual campaign competition I remember from over the years.  One day while researching something (???) I don't remember what. I stumbled across some amazing information. There are free online courses if you really want to learn something new. MIT has open course ware and presents free classes on Youtube. There is also something called the Open Course ware Consortium. Also, edx = MIT and Harvard joint offer of free classes online. I guess we can be educated if we want to be. Mentioned in one of the WDC newsletters I read is a free (materials included) 8 week course on mindfulness, at www.palousemindfulness.com. It is very well guided. Some of these courses offer completion certificates. This is just a small sample of the free guided learning places that are available if you look.  I wrote 500 words on my story today. Writing is easier than reading I'm making my own story.  |
