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.

Joyce! Mission! Podcast! 2.4.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:40 pm  

Did my brain training this morning.

I’ll study Spanish after I’ve done the blog, then post pictures.

Kathy and I had a fun lunch with Joyce Barrington. She is the mother of my good friend Carl Barrington. He passed away last year. It was a very sad time for me.

Where Joyce lives, Carl had a lot of his memorabilia. I especially liked his signed picture from Patrick Stewart. I also thought the signed picture by Stan Lee of a print of Spiderman was awesome.


I spent about an hour or so helping her learn how to use her iPhone 11.

Enjoyed working at the mission with the kids.


Everly and I played hide and seek. I can’t see her.

I released a new episode of VerbalSurgery Do Over!”


Listened to Harry Potter in Spanish on the way home.

I fired up my PC this evening. First time I’ve used that in months. There were some files I had on it I’m trying to get a hold of now. In particular Kathy’s resume. Never could find them.

Got my Apple ID and Password working again. Yes!

Another project I needed the PC was to see a spreadsheet for my Housing Allowance. I got a spreadsheet app on my Mac now.

Watching the last episode of October Faction this evening. I’ve enjoyed it!

Grandgirls! Mission! Sunset! 2.3.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:41 pm  

Incredible weather!

Enjoyed my Brain Training and Spanish study this morning.


Had a good time with the grand girls. We ate at Waffle House and then went to the Dollar Tree.


Went back to their house to let them rest.


Worked with the kids at the mission.

They had fun with the toys we brought home. Especially the silly string.


Checked the mail at the office.

The clouds!


Absolutely incredible sunset this evening. Art by God.














I saw this at the Moes in Tucker.

I thought I knew what it was for and I was right. It’s for ritual cleaning or Wudu for Muslims before prayer. They wash their feet with it,

Podcast! The Gentlemen! Office! 2.1.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:04 pm  

I did my brain training and Spanish study this morning. I always enjoy that.


I released a new episode of Verbal Surgery this morning. Check out “Stuck in Time” and feel good, NOW!


I also recorded another episode today, too. One of my favorite things to do is to yell at a tape deck!

Went by my office to check on the mail.

Went to see The Gentleman this evening. Pretty violent with rough language but I thought the writing was excellent. A fun day for me.

Podcast! Anthony! 1.31.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:31 pm  

Did my brain training and Spanish study as usual.




Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery.

Had a great talk with my buddy Anthony. Always fun.

Picked up my car from the shop. New brakes. It’s a good idea to stop a car!

Met a man from Albania today. Very interesting conversation with him. The international community is my favorite part about Atlanta.

Still not feeling 100%. Congested and ears are stopped up. May have pushed myself too hard yesterday.

Podcast! Bike!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:45 pm  

I did my brain training and Spanish study.



Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery. Always enjoy that.

I got the oil changed in my car. Then they told me I also needed a brake job. I’ve spent nearly $1000 on my car in less than a week. Ouch!

I rode my bike 14.76 miles today.

That’s the first serious exercise I’ve gotten since I’ve been sick. Felt great to get out and ride. It’s still cold, but I have the clothes to make it OK.

Had a fun talk with Jesse tonight.

Also got him some gas in his car. I’ve been using his since mine’s been in the shop.
