Grandgirls! Podcast! Valentines! 2.14.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:30 pm  

I did my regular brain training, breath work, and Spanish study.


I realized I had missed one level 3 lesson. When I did that today it gave me another award for completing the whole Duolingo on the third level. It’s a great app! Highly recommend it if you’re interested in learning a language. And shouldn’t we all?

Fun time with the grand girls today. We ate Mexican food, took them to the airport where they have a playground, then for ice cream.





Went to my office to check the mail and water my tree.

Deposited a check in the bank.

I updated my Geico auto insurance policy.

Released Verbal Surgery “Self Heating” this evening. Always good!

Also recorded a new episode. It’s my best therapy.

Expecting another super cold night.

Pink Magnolias are looking fantastic. My three little trees have just now started to bud out. The two Cherry Blossom trees that I planted last year will be next!

Spanish! Podcast! 2.13.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:25 pm  

Had nearly an inch of rain yesterday. Certainly has been a wet February!

Did my brain training, breath work, and studied Spanish this morning.


Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Old News.”

Big limb fell from a tree not far from my house this morning. Glad it didn’t hit anything fragile.

I got a new pitcher plant today. I always enjoy adding to my plant collection.

It’s called Nepenthes Ventricosa. The plants are originally from the Philippines.

The ones I buy are probably grown from seed and raised here in the USA. It’s a carnivorous plant like a Venus Fly Trap. The difference it is a passive trap were insects get trapped in the pitchers and get digested there.

Here’s another type of Nepenthes I have in my collection.

Another very mild day in the ATL. I actually broke out the shorts and flip-flops this afternoon. Incredible for February!

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Tiny Sticker.”

Gassed up my car.

Had a fun time with the grand girls at the mission today. All the kids are riding bikes up and down the hill which was great. Better than just video games!


Ashley did a great job with the cooking class today. They all made little chocolate cakes with marshmallow toppings and peanuts and M&Ms. It was a big hit and a lot of fun.


Deposited checks.

My pink magnolias is starting to bloom. My cherry blossom trees are also starting to bud out. Supposed to get to 28 degrees later this week. Hope that doesn’t hurt them.


Worked on taxes this evening.

Grandgirls! Mission! 2.6.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:02 pm  

I worked on Spanish and did my Brain Training and breathing exercises this morning.


I listened to Harry Potter in Spanish.

I’m also watching a show on Netflix called Diablero in Spanish with Spanish subtitles to help me get more listening retention.

Had a fun day with the grand girls at the mission. The girls practice gymnastics under the table. Pretty funny!



Very rainy here in the ATL. I was woken up this morning by a tornado warning coming over my phone. Fortunately, it was on the other side of the county and wasn’t a big problem for us.

Did the banking on the way home.

Great talk with my buddy Anthony this evening. What a blessing!

Grandgirls! Mission! 2.5.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:30 pm  

Did my brain training and studied Spanish. Surprised?

Had fun time with the grand girls.

We watched the garbage pick up. They put all the recycling stuff in with the regular garbage. Pissed me off. I’ll definitely follow up on this.

Gassed up my car.


Girls took a nap when we got home. Me, too.

Penelope bought a game today at Goodwill. PJ Masks is one of her favorite shows. We had fun playing it with the Mission kids.

They love dirt. Hard for me to let them play in it. I’m the “clean” grandparent, the one that’s always washing their hands and face.

Sent a recording to my Italian friend, Elia.

Went to the office to get checks.
