Posted on June 15, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Posted on February 10, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Guess I succeeded in my goals.  Didn’t get to spend as much time with my son as I would have liked.  Lots of appointments, homework, and other stuff showing up during my days of the week.  Feels like everything was … Continue reading →

Posted on October 7, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Goal Post: Not a Day Without Drama

Posted on September 30, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Drama might be an exaggeration.  Yet, every day since last Saturday has had something big going on.  That’s why I feel like I’ve lived a month within the last 7 days.  Doesn’t help that the looming ‘life event’ is set … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Good Friends Are a Blessing

Posted on September 2, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Poetry Day: Fallen Behind

Posted on June 29, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

(This one feels like it’s rather self-explanatory.  Came from a time when I saw friends posting about doing all of these fun things.  I couldn’t go or do the same because money and time were limited.  So, I started to … Continue reading →
