Studied Portuguese this morning. Cada dia eu tento falar um pouco mais.

Spent a few hours helping Kathy with her online course. It’s a lot of information about her job at the day care center. Quite a bit of the information had to do with what happens if a shooter comes in.


Uploaded a new edition of Verbal Surgery -533- “Mix and Match.”

Had lunch with Jesse. Always good! Then took him to get his car. NO problem!


I liked the IHOP menu. It reminded me of me.

Helped the kids at the mission.


Such a beautiful family!

Enjoyed listening to a book on Audible. I’ve been only listening to Portuguese over the last ten months.

Studied Portuguese. Sim!

I like this song. So humble.

From the current Time magazine on how to live a long and happy life.

Recorded another edition of Verbal Surgery this morning called, “NEXTpectations.” Good stuff!

Penelope came over to visit while Ashley got her contact sorted out.

There is one squirrel left in the yard. So far we haven’t heard scratching sounds when it’s chewing.
I caught and released nine.

They’ve damaged sections of my roof.

Tree branch damage.

I was trying to show Penelope these tiny blue flowers.


She enjoyed riding down the hill. It was the first time I think she was really steering and stopping in a controlled way. She’s so awesome!
She was looking at azalea flowers.

I’m teaching her how to do use the Total Gym. She’s already learned some of the movements!
Ashley says she’s seen her get out the yoga mat, and do yoga moves! What!?
Jesse said his check engine light came one. Bahd luck. Hope it’s nothing serious.
I took K to Piccadilly this evening. We’ve been enjoying each other’s company.
Admin duties now.

Went to Westside BC This morning.


Choir sang.

Pastor Ben spoke about having goals.

After church, I called some friends. Talked with the man who translated for me in Brazil, Cesar.

Great guy!
Also talked with my best friend Anthony Jacquin. Always good.

We are interested in the brain and how neurotransmitters work.

Went for a 13.47 mile ride. Didn’t go fast. I haven’t been biking much during the winter. Absolutely beautiful.

Clouds were fantastic.




Cool stuff to see.




I covered this up.

Cleaned all my birdbaths.

Felt great to be out riding again.

Watered my plants.

Last night I went over 100,000 downloads of my podcast Verbal Surgery! Eleven years old and getting better every time!


Studied Portuguese!

Trees are blooming!


Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery “UN Control.” It will release next week.

Jesse and I planned to go see Black Panther today. It was sold out. The trees nearby were beautiful.


Kathy and I went out to eat at Hot n Cold. We don’t eat out that much any more.

I’ve been listening to Santigold. I’ve enjoyed it.

Woke up really early this morning. Probably going to sleep early.

I continue to trap and release squirrels from my area. I’ve caught nine so far.

VERY mild today! Especially for February!

Went LIVE on Facebook with the video version of “The Joy of Ignorance.”

Wanted to ride my bike today. Got dressed out and started, but a light sprinkle made me stop. I don’t ride on wet roads.

I wrote a series of questions about gun control on Facebook. After a few hours I erased all evidence of the threads. Shocking what people will say about guns.

Admin duties now.

Studied Portuguese! Sim!

Worked on my taxes. The hard part is always adding up the household utilities.

Ordained ministers get a certain amount deducted from the taxes.

Packaged everything up and got it ready to mail.

Jesse has been enjoying his outdoor office/hammock.

Ashley, Penelope, Everly and I took out our team from FBC Opelika! It’s been fourteen years since they worked with us. WOW! That’s when I was a solo act. SO much better now it’s hard to compare!

We took them to Plaza Fiesta and the Buford Highway Farmers Market. AWESOME!

We look forward to working with their team the first of June. Over 100 people!
After our prayer time together, I sent them on their way.
Took the girls back home. Then took my car to mail my taxes in.

Also went to the Apple store to pick up Ashley’s old computer.

Hopefully, Jesse will be able to get data off it. Most of what Ashley really needs is already in the cloud.
Ashley’s new computer will be delivered to my house Friday. It’s a refurbished 2017 computer. It cost the same amount and trying to fix her old one that is five years old.

Helped the kids at the mission with their homework.


Another mass shooting at a school in Florida. I thought this graph was interesting.

When I got home, I found I had captured another squirrel. That makes nine in all. Took it to my release spot about five miles away.

Gassed up my car on the way home.
Admin duties now.

Penelope spent the night Tuesday night. Didn’t work on Admin duties because of that. She had a hard night. She’s teething, had an earache and coughed most of the night. Miles and Ashley took her to the doctor today. She was also complaining that her ear hurt.

Studied Portuguese shis afternoon before going to the mission.

I opened the mission, and they came back before many kids had even gotten there.

We had a roomful be the end of the session.


Ate a Taco Veloz on the way home.
Mr. Google always takes me different routes each evening. Fascinating.
Caught up blog from yesterday.

Did the grocery shopping.

Anthony posted a picture of me and my buddy Bob Burns from Scotland. Such a fun guy!

We didn’t work a the mission because we weren’t feeling well.
I transported three more squirrels from our house last night to make a total of six. As of today, we have stopped hearing the chewing in the house. No more squirrel problem! I got the material to fix the holes they’ve made at Walmart when I got the groceries.
Played some Battlefront 2 and watched Dark Matter on Netflix.
