Yes. I'm still around. I completely missed 2024. It's been almost two years since my last post. But since today is New Years Day, I got to thinking how I missed writing blog posts. I'm going to give it a try again this year. We'll see if I can beat the 15 I wrote in 2023. I've already beaten 2022 and 2024.
I've learned a lot this year. I've read a number of books and I've seen a number of good movies. I've not been practicing the piano like I had hoped to do after I retired but maybe I'll start that again, too. My big accomplishment in 2023 was to read through the entire Bible. I've been reading the Bible (in pieces) my whole life but I had never read straight through it in one year before. It was a great experience and I would like to talk about that, too.
Look at it this way - here is a chance for you to feel better about yourself. Too many times, you see people posting things that make them look wonderful. You only see the best parts of other peoples' lives. It can seem like they are doing the most interesting things and going to the most interesting places. It can make some people feel inadequate because their own lives don't match up to all the interesting things bloggers and YouTube creators are doing and writing about. My stuff is pretty boring and my thoughts aren't particularly insightful. If I start posting again, you can say to yourself, "Well, I may not be very interesting but at least I'm not as bad as that 'Adventures in Engineering' guy."
