Penelope had a hard night last night. The girls weren’t able to come today. Must admit my performance suffered. Hard to keep focused when I’m worried about them.
Still, my 50% is way better than most people’s top effort! My overwhelming humility keeps me from going on and on about that!
Went to Azalea to check on the girls before starting The Show. Ashley had prepared a USB for me with the files on it, sadly, the machine couldn’t find them. Weird. Yet another wrinkle I had to overcome.
Took them on Safari to Penang for lunch.
Then to Asian Square.
Then to China Town. Had fun at the book store practicing calligraphy.
They seemed serene to me!
One of my original youth group, Tabias, came to see me today. What a blessing he has been to me over the decades!
The team did a great job at the mission!

Studied. Shocking!
Enjoying reading Moonwalking with Einstein.
I captured a squirrel this morning. First one in five months, mainly because I wasn’t even trying. Yesterday, I noticed one eating the suet that I leave for the birds. That’s my cue to start trapping again. I’ll keep that trap out loaded for a while again. I just wasn’t seeing many squirrels after I trapped over forty last year!
Keeping them covered with a towel keeps them calm. I let them go in a forest aver five miles from my house on the other side of the Yellow River and highway 78. If they can swim the river AND cross that crazy highway they deserve to eat some of my bird food. . . until I catch them again!
Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Peek-a-BOOM!”
Made a series of phone calls to some of my best friends. Anthony was in England. Bob Burns in Scotland and Michael Perez in the Philippines. Love this internet!
Bob Burns was teaching a class. He had the whole class greet me! Hilarious. Anthony did that with his class he and his dad were teaching last week. What a trip.
Also had a good chat with my brother, Jim. Always good to spend time with him.
I made an evaluation of what I’ve got memorized. There are three whole chapters I have memorized in the Bible. Plus several sections I’ve memorized in Hebrew! Also over twenty different poems.
I started thinking about what it would be like to memorize all the red letters in the Bible. That’s everything that Jesus said! First step? Evaluate exactly how much that is. I got a Kindle edition of a book called “The Words of Jesus” It’s fun to read, but I’m not sure I’ll memorize it all. Just the passages that mean the most to me.
As part of my Contact Resolution, whenever I start thinking about someone, I do my best to contact them. Today, as I was thinking about child development, Rick Yount’s name came into my mind. He was one of my favorite professors at SWBTS. Later, I did some research, discovered he was in New Orleans, and dashed out an email to him.
We set up for The Show for tomorrow with our team. Looking forward to it. Hope they’re as fired up as we are!
As much as I hate getting up earlier, It’s great to see it light later!
Talked with my Mom on the way home from setting up at the church.
I worked on one of the lights for tomorrow. The settings had changed. Should work fine, now.
Watered my plants.

Studied Espanol!
Took Kathy over to Patel Plaza for Mirch Masala. It was just ok today. Not nearly as good as when J and I were there last weekend.
Came home and rested.
Went for a 15.80 mile bike ride. Worked on scripture and poems.
Always something beautiful to see.
Part of a piece I’m working on.

Played some Black Ops 4 last night. Pretty good game.
Cold morning. My Pink Magnolias survived pretty well. My ficus at the church was also left out. Fortunately, she looks like she did ok. Felt really bad about that. I should have let my pal at the church know.
Studied, well you guessed it.
Read Moonwalking with Einstein.
It makes reference to this book by Cicero. Maybe I’ll take a look at that as well.
I just downloaded it onto my iPhone. Kindle edition for .99!
I studied Hebrew letters yesterday. Trying to see how many I can remember. I look at this sign I found in the street when I was in Jerusalem every morning. I always wondered what it meant. Google translate figured it out for me in moments!
Living in the future, baby!

Fun talk with my buddy Anthony in the UK. Extra bonus, nice chat with his daughter, Lila! What a blessing
Recorded a new episode called, “No Ledge.” There is no limit to what we can know! It’ll release in about a month.
I’ve pretty much mastered “The Hollow Men” by TS Eliot. I was looking up another poem and saw this one by one of my favorites, Robert Frost. Nothing Gold Can Stay. So true.
Continuing my New Year’s “Contact Resolution,” I had lunch with my good friend Bennett Ekandem. What a blessing. We go back in ministry twenty years!
Went by FBC Doraville to check on the mail.
Then to the bank to get checks deposited. Thank you, Lord!
To the mission to work with the kids. Love me some Grandgirls!
Listened to radio from Madrid on the way home. They were super bummed out that Real Madrid was out of the competition.
Driving!
Got my tax returns back. Looks like I’ll be getting back about $1,000 less than in previous years. What tax cut?!
Cleaned my fish tank.
Still getting over my sickness. I feel pretty good, just get tired.
