Goal Post: The Weather Needs to Leave Me Alone

Posted on December 3, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

The weather has been jumping around from 30’s to 50’s.  We’ve had rainy days and the barometric pressure has been wonky.  So, my sinuses have been brutalized and I’ve apparently got asthma.  Walking into the chilly mornings was like my … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Is It Really Saturday?

Posted on November 12, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

I’ll admit that I’m thrown off on what day of the week it is.  My son had a 3 day school week while I had a 4 day work week.  He had Tuesday off, but I had to go in … Continue reading →

Posted on November 5, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

Genuinely thought that I got nothing done as far as last week’s goal list goes.  I ended nearly every night exhausted.  Last full week of the quarter means work was kind of crazy, but helping my son with schoolwork was … Continue reading →

Goal Post: Where Did the Warmth Go?

Posted on September 24, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

It’s cold today. Yes, I know it’s now autumn, but I was still comfortably wearing shorts on Thursday.  If you wonder about yesterday, I was uncomfortably wearing shorts.  Today, I’m going to have to see how many of my jeans … Continue reading →

Goal Post: The First Full Week of School

Posted on September 17, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

I need this weekend to rest. My head is spinning so much that I’m not really sure where to begin.  Some stuff I can’t talk about because it connects to the drama.  Was it better this week?  Yes, but not … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Careless Infector

Posted on September 15, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

Goal Post: Back to the Classroom

Posted on September 3, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

The school year started up again for me on Tuesday.  So, I’ve been working hard since then with not much of a chance to write.  Not much energy too.  Part of it simply getting used to waking up early and … Continue reading →

Posted on June 18, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

Well, this week didn’t really go as planned.  Let’s get right to how last weekend had me asking God why I was being punished.  Sequence of events: I mentioned in comments that my car had issues, so I took it … Continue reading →
