Trained my brain and studied Spanish! Both activities are long term efforts that generate great benefits.

Great talk with Anthony debriefing the UK Hypnosis Convention.

Got my new, cold-weather clothes in today for my 14.70 mile bike ride.

Still tweaking some things but overall it was a good experience.

Absolutely beautiful outside, the lighting, and the brilliantly colored leaves, make the experience incredible! Go outside spend some time with nature. Reap the rewards of being part of nature.

GO!

Practiced brain training and studying Español this morning.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Two Windows.” Beautiful spot.

Checked the mail.

Set up for The Show.

Ashley and I had a fun time this evening with our team from Georgia southern university. We hope they will come back and work with us later.

My friends at the UK Hypnosis convention had a good time today. My good friend Anthony Jacquin gave the keynote address after an introduction that I wrote for him. Fun day!

Played some God of War this afternoon.

I continued watching the Netflix documentary on Bill Gates last night. Such a good show! Highly recommend.

Did my brain training and Spanish study this morning. It’s a way of life!

Fun talk with my buddy, Anthony.

Gassed up my car.

One of my best friends is Carl Barrington. It looks like he’s almost ready to go be with the Lord. Had a good time with him today. Sad to think he probably won’t be with us much longer. I’ve nearly been killed six times. So I know what it’s like to stare death in the face. You have to live with passion and with urgency. That also is a way of life.

Went to Azalea to watch the grand girls this afternoon. We had a good time together as always.




Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery -711- “FUNishment”

Sad news about my good friend Carl Barrington. I look forward to visiting with him on Friday. Hopefully the Lord will grant our prayers and give him more time with his loved ones.

Paid bills. Always good to see debt go down.

Did some research with an app I like called Seek.

Jess and I went to eat lunch together. Always interesting and amusing conversations!

Came home and did a bike ride. Went 8.68 miles.

Weather continues to be a challenge for me. Most of the time I really want to go exercise. But when it gets cold it’s harder to be motivated. And for me even riding a bike in 65° weather seems cold!

I did more work on my health insurance coverage. Got a notice today that the insurance company that I use this year is going to extend coverage for us for next year.

Listened to Harry Potter in Spanish on the way home. I’m always learning new words.

Got in contact with my health insurance guy. It’s great to have a guy who knows what they’re doing because I sure don’t. I basically just follow their advice and look up the plans.

I had a fun day today at One heart Church with the girls.

We spoke at a Sunday School class and during church.

I don’t really like the time change. Gets dark too early in my opinion.

I went for a bike ride today. Rode 14.77 miles.

They finished the drainage repairs.

Tried to dress so I could stay warm. Pretty successful.

Practiced brain training and Español this morning.

Kathy, Ashley and the girls and I went to First Baptist Church of Doraville today for their 70th anniversary homecoming.

Many of the pastors who had served there spoke.

My father in law Bill Doverspike served there for years.

I sang in the impromptu choir. I still sight read pretty well.



I was the final speaker. Fun fellowship afterwards.

Got the props we’ll need for the conference tomorrow at One Heart Church,

Did a final clean out of the aquarium. I will probably end up putting some plants in that aquarium to look at.

Spent some time in my inside garden this evening. Always fun to have flowers to look at. Especially in the winter.

Played some God of War. Such a beautiful game!

Good chat with Anthony Jacquin today.

Got the groceries. Picked up supplies for birdfeeders.

50 pound bag will feed the raccoons and opossums for months. Heavy!

Cleaned the bird feeder, rain gauge and the yard. Got about 1″ yesterday.

Blew the leaves off the driveway. Cold night last night nearly to freezing.

My neck was bothering me today. Some of these jobs were really hard because of that.

Beauty!
