What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

Hands down, it is riding a bike. Preferably a mountain bike. It takes effort, and the payoff of being outdoors is worth it.

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I’ve been putting off establishing a regular exercise program again. Why? I am embarrassed by how unfit I’ve become since COVID.

I really need to stop putting it off.

What do you like about writing?

I was asked what I enjoy about writing. It is obviously not that I gain anything financially from it. It’s not even for my regular readers. Sorry, Mom and mystery person who I can’t figure out. No, both my regular readers can probably survive without these rambling posts.

I enjoy writing for several reasons. One, it is cathartic for me when I am stressing over something I see going on in the world at large.

Two, it helps me organize my thoughts on subjects that I’ve been considering. I know these posts don’t always look like they are organized, but they bring order to my thoughts at times.

Third, I just like to put thoughts out there for people to consider. Once in a while, I put a post up here that gets a few views. I can only hope they are helpful or at least humorous to the readers.

List 30 things that make you happy.

In response to the prompt above, I was instantly pretty sure I couldn’t list thirty things, but we shall see. If I can’t, should I be worried?

• Reading the Bible
• Being near my wife
• Talking with any of my children
• Playing with the grandson
• Playing games with family
• Flying one of my drones
• Writing ( a little bit)
• Cooking with the wife
• Driving to good music
• Listening to birds greet the sun
• Watching drogonflies hover over water
• Hummingbirds
• Seeing people change their lives for the better
• Talking with friends I haven’t seen for a while
• Time spent in prayer (mostly)
• Camping
• Riding a bicycle (when it doesn’t feel like we’re living in Hades)
• Learning something new
• Reading a good book
• Photography
• Making videos

Well, I got more than halfway there. That was more than I thought I would get to be completely honest. I’m not sure if this means I should find more things to make me happy, do these things more frequently, or nothing at all.

What makes you happy?

What are you curious about?

I was given th is writing prompt by my blog software. Here we go.

I’m curious to know what goes on in the halls of the White House under this administration. I’ve never thought of that much before. I mean, of course I did once in a while. What American wouldn’t. This is something different. Our president can’t speak or think consistently, and “he” puts cross-dressers in charge of vital national interests.

Currently, I am also curious about how the bubbling pot of ginger, lemon, and sugar is going to turn out after I pitch a batch of wine yeast into it (after the bubbling has ceased). Hopefully, after a week or so, I’ll have something tasty.

I’m curious to hear someone who adheres to scientism as their faith explain how butterflies and their transformation evolved. Did they evolve from caterpillars? Where did the egg come from if there was no butterfly to lay it? How does dissolving into a soup, leaving yourself defenseless, and reconstituting yourself into a creature that can’t really eat enhance your ability to survive?

I’m curious who will read this and if they have placed their faith in the One True God.
