Posted on March 7, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Returning to Writing

Posted on February 23, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Goal Post: A Winter of Break

Posted on February 21, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

I don’t feel like I was successful this week, but I was.  Only goals that I failed to accomplish were finishing the April blog posts and tinkering with ‘Phi Beta Files’.  To be fair, I’m only 1 away from that … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Determined To Make Progress

Posted on February 14, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

As expected, the week before winter break was challenging.  Only because everyone was getting more restless and tired as we got closer to the weekend.  It’s how it always goes at both work and home.  So, I am surprised that … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Utter Disaster Means a Delay Of Writing

Posted on February 7, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m in a mood and you’ll understand once you read what happened.  I’m too angry to write any of Darwin & the Joy Path since it requires working with a happy character.  I may still finish before the end of February … Continue reading →

Today, the temps are around the negatives and single digits due to the wind.  Tomorrow is supposed to be a blizzard, which will leave 8-15 inches.  It’s been a long time since a winter storm hit us that hard, so … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Chaos and Phone Outages

Posted on January 17, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Not a single day went smoothly this week.  If this was a rollercoaster, it would be nothing more than spinning with random parts where the cart has to jump a ramp.  Pettiness, high emotions, health stuff, and the Verizon outage … Continue reading →

Goal Post: 2026 Has Yet To Impress

Posted on January 10, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

I remember when a new year would feel like a change.  There was a sense of a fresh start and things could be left in the past.  Oddly enough I think this sensation only existed in elementary school and college.  … Continue reading →
