  • The thing about games like Reigns is that while it shows you how much a particular choice will influence a group, it doesn’t say if it’s positive or negative. Frustrating.

    Full Moon

    Pure white brilliant glow,

    A monthly delight!

  • Accepted Apple’s Give Back offer four days ago. They process it as a refund to the card used to make the purchase. Still no refund. Unbelievable. Seriously, do no use Apple Give Back.

  • Walmart Grocery is automatically refunding me for all of the salad that I’ve bought recently. This is a huge advantage: auto-refunds for recalled items.

  • Watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade reminds me why I don’t watch TV. More ads than content and ad naseum promotion of NBC programs.

    Episode 41: Thanksgiving

    It’s a slow start on Thanksgiving morning. I catch up with the family as we start our celebrations.

  • A Grateful Nation

    I love that the United States has a national holiday dedicated to gratitude. As a nation, today’s celebrations go back to a singular event that would come to define who we are as a people. To be an American is to be generous. To be generous, one has to have a profound sense of gratitude.

    Living in this nation is a tremendous blessing. I live in relative peace and security where opportunity abounds. My life and my property are not under constant threat. This reality, and the fact that it is not universal is not lost on me.

    As my family gathers around our table this afternoon, ready to enjoy a feast of seasonal treats, I will give thanks to our Creator for the many blessings in my life.
