Last weekend, I was out at the park from 9:30 am until 7:30 PM.  Both days.  This was for Pokemon Go-Fest, which was fun even if my luck was bad.  My son had a blast hanging out with his friend … Continue reading →

Goal Post: School Year Is Done!

Posted on June 27, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

As of yesterday, the 25-26 school year is done.  I survived, which isn’t as much of a joke as it would normally be.  The health scare in November/December wasn’t school-related, but it falls in the time period.  So does the … Continue reading →

Posted on April 25, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Before I get to my writing progress, I should say that I’m in discomfort and pain.  There was a field day this week, which resulted in being outside for 4 hours.  I didn’t put on enough sunblock and forgot my … Continue reading →

International Goof Off Day

Posted on March 22, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

I found this a surprising holiday since I know most adults refuse to openly goof off.  We really are a weird species if we have a holiday specifically to remind people to have fun and be silly.  Doesn’t sound like … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: The Challenge of the First Step

Posted on February 26, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(This one stems from a time when I had trouble getting out of bed in the morning.  I had a job that was soul-crushing and amped up my anxiety issues to the point where I would cry in the car.  … 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: Freezing And Frantic

Posted on January 31, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Okay, not really frantic, but I am stressed.  We had a snow day on Monday due to Sunday’s blizzard.  Lots of shoveling and resultant aching of the body.  Nothing says fun like clearing the driveway and then a plow comes … 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 →
