Studied Spanish and Swahili.


My Pearl Oyster mushrooms have started to grow. Here’s how they looked first thing in the morning.

This is how they looked seven hours later.

Had fun talking to my friend Anthony Jacquin in the UK. It’s his wife’s birthday today. One of my very favorite families.

Watered my plants.








Saw a car wreck on the way to the movie.

Dinosaur was taking tickets.

This movie was a lot of fun. Scary dinosaurs are pretty great bad guys.

Studied Spanish and Swahili this morning.

My Pearl Oyster Mushroom kit continues to develop. So far, I’ve only watered it for two days. You’re supposed to mist it several times a day.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery. One of my favorite things!

The Sony PCM-M10 is a wonderful recorder.

Uploaded to my computer from the recorder. Five in the can. My goal is ten before July starts. Don’t know if I’ll have time or the throat power to do it while I have so many teams in town.

I’ve started bringing the most beautiful plant in my collection onto my desk. I’ve really enjoyed the orchids in particular. Art by God.

We loved having the girls come to visit.

Kathy was a great help today.

Everly is very good, especially if I can give her undivided attention. She really likes swinging.
I thought I saw her stand for a moment without hanging onto anything today!

They are so awesome. She is wonderful with her little sister.

Penelope’s art work. We work concentrating on circles today.

Kathy is coming with me tomorrow to see Fallen Kingdom. Jesse gave it two thumbs up.

This may be the most I’ve ever paid to see anyone in concert. I have enjoyed David Byrne’s work for over forty years. I was there for the “Stop Making Sense” album and tour. The reviews of his new tour are even stronger than for the Sense tour. I didn’t think that was possible.

Had a fun supper with Kathy and Jesse.

Admin duties now.

Studied Spanish and Swahili this morning.



Ashley, the girls and I took our new friends Greg and Matt from Alabama around the International Village. They’ll be bringing a team in July.

Matt got himself a new hat. Muy guapo.

He looked like the kind of guy that could really appreciate a finely made hat.

Then to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.


It’s always great to hang out with the girls!


Deposited checks.

I couldn’t believe this. Wow.

Admin duties now.
Had a great talk with my friend Carl Barrington today. We’ll be going to a soccer match in August.

Studied Spanish and Swahili. Missed a day. Started the streak over. NBD.

The incarcerating of immigrant children is big news.

Filled up my water bottles.

Recorded a new podcast!

Cleaned up the kitchen.

Put my new episode on my computer from my PCM-M10 digital recorder.

Jesse and I ate lunch then went to the fish store next door.


Fantastic variety.



Jesse gave me a mushroom log for my birthday. Today I cut the X in it, scraped off the covering and put two teaspoons of water in it. I’ll be misting it every day.


I’m enjoying using my Muse to measure brainwave response. Today, I used it while playing video games which takes a lot of single minded focus, which is the essence of meditation.

This is the best I’ve done so far.

Again, while I was playing Battlefront 2.

Admin duties now.

I studied Spanish and Swahili on Monday.


My streak came to an end on Monday night when I had Penelope over night. I forgot. Just keep trucking!
Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery!

Got an extension cord for Kathy. Turned out she didn’t need it.

Ashley, the girls and I hosted the All State Choir from Alabama on Monday afternoon. They sang at the Shiv Mandir at Global Mall.

They also sang at Al Madina for my Muslim friends.

And at Plaza Fiesta!

Whirlwind Missions trips are unique!

Great to work with the girls!

I’ve replaced the two belt holders for my camera and my phone. They take a lot of wear and tear on my belt.

I bought Penelope a Minnie Mouse house that she’s been dying for. It’s fun to see her use her imagination.

Sometimes it didn’t work perfectly (silly elevator) and she’d get a little upset about it.

I edited the video I shot for the choir on Monday.


I saw this interesting mushroom on a dead stump at Azalea.


Tuesday I went to lunch with the girls. We ate at the Downwind Restaurant at the PDK airport in Chamblee.
A group from Fernbank was there to talk with airmen from Dobbins airforce bace and Hunter army airfield in Savannah. My favorite chopper.

Got the groceries.

I got Penelope pull ups as she transitions out of diapers.

Gassed up my car.

Rained again. It’s been a wet summer. Which is better than a really dry one.

I enjoyed using my Muse brainwave headset Tuesday night. I gave myself a holiday and waited on my admin duties until Wednesday morning.

Ashley and her family met us at Westside BC this morning.




Pastor Ben spoke about Peter walking on the water.


The girls did great in the nursery. K stayed in there with them and they had a grand time.


I liked this banner.

I played djembe today in church. My hands felt well enough to take that beating. I felt like I needed to praise the Lord. But didn’t really feel like singing.

Miles is such a great father!



I took Penelope outside to the little playground before she went home.

Her Minnie Mouse toy that she wanted came to my house this morning.

Studied Spanish and Swahili.



Had another high score this afternoon playing Battlefront 2. Hard to be the best out of 16 skilled players.

I rode my bike 6.79 miles this afternoon.

This made me sad. It looked like my favorite gardenia bush got clobbered in the storm and they cut it down. Great loss. I have loved that bush for nearly twenty years!

It had fantastic, fragrant flowers. Still giving to the end.

I cleaned the birdbaths and added food to my feeders for the birds and wild animals.

It was a fun Father’s Day! Kathy got me some new cologne. Ashley gave me a photo frame with a wonderful picture in it. Jesse wrote me a sweet letter and gave me a mushroom plant.

I had Fanta orange with my fried rice for lunch. So good.

Hung out with Kathy and Jesse for a bit at the pool. Pretty hot. Water felt great.

I bought grocery bags for when I go to Walmart. Stop using plastic bags and go to reusable.


Passed a level when I studied Swahili this afternoon.

Spanish, too!

Played some Battle Front 2.
Got Jesse’s car from T&G. Brake light switch went bad.

I love my orchids. I think this one is exquisite.

This was the first time I think Ashley really understood the Cobra in a Jar concept.

Enjoying using the Muse that I got myself for Father’s Day. It’s a very sophisticated brain wave sensor. Has an app that reads brain waves on my iPhone 7+.

Ashley, the girls and I had fun briefing the team from Prattville, AL this morning. I got the girls another stroller. They match!


Everly is standing up a lot!

They are both real crowd pleasers!

They enjoyed lunch!

I fired up the LED Jesus today! Beauty!

Always something interesting to see.




Everyone enjoys samples.


Kissing the frozen sheep head.

The stuff I come up with!
Love my girls!

After the Farmers Market, we came back to the church to finish up the briefing and pray.

Then to the missions!

Started to sprinkle so the team went in the corridors to stay dry.







Got home around 8:30pm.
Sent some pictures to my plumber to give me an idea of where it could be leaking in the shower.
