Now that I’ve completed Microblogvember and developed a small habit of posting daily, I will need to continue to reinforce that habit. At the very least, I have over 350 more photos go to. #mbnov
As this month has passed I feel like my posts have become more pedestrian. At the beginning, I tried to be more creative with how the words were used. Now, I’m just going to stroll on to the end of the month jotting down random musings from my day. #mbnov
Thinking about today’s #mbnov word has sent me down a little nostalgic rabbit hole. My brothers and I always enjoyed admiring and debating the art work that goalies had painted on their mask. Gerry Cheevers, a classic, FTW.
Like many people, I recently watched The Social Dilemma. I don’t think it surprised me all that much. But I did get the sense that, while the algorithms were designed to manipulate and hold the users attention, the effectiveness has surpased even the designers expectations.
The most epic war in our house is the one between me and my wife over how, and when, to adjust the thermostat. #mbnov
I’m just going to call this a minimal effort post. #mbnov.
The provision of Thanksgiving dinner requires: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and corn. All of this should be drenched in a rich gravey with buttered rolls (or cornbread) to clean up the plate. Afterwards, a mound of whipped cream with a sliver of pumpkin pie. #mbnov
I think I’m going to attempt a 365 day photo capture challenge. 📷 1/365 #mbnov
I’ve been messing around with the polarr app to add a border to some photos. It gives then a more artistic flare, I think. 📷 #mbnov
I can’t remember a time when I liked winter. Sure snow can be beautiful. Sometimes. In high school I at least enjoyed winter. I loved playing ice hockey. Now, winter is just a time for me to learn and plan for new adventures in fairer weather. #mbnov
It’s possible that this is Bears happy face. #mbnov
Dependence is probably the toughest word to incorporate into a post so far during microblogvember. Therefore, I shall independently offer that my Weather Underground app is one that I depend on the most. I find it to be very reliable. (a review by a man of many words) #mbnov
I’ve taken two trips on AMTRAK over the past few years. My favorite aspect of riding the train is that whether you’re riding through a small town or New York City, it feels like you’re strolling through the nation’s backyard. #mbnov
So many times I’ve looked up on
the clear blue sky and closed my eyes.
The warming sun upon my face
and deep within my aging mind
gentle ghosts of clouds pass by
casting scenes of former sights
and all that pass seem less than real.
Less than a memory.

Currently reading: Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut 📚
So far, this book has been a fantastic read. I can’t imagine how I have made it this far in life with out reading it. #mbnov
I guess I’ll just post a photo for today…
Anyone care to guess where?

I know better than to just wear whatever I want to work without checking the weather. Especially at this time of the year when we can experience three seasons in one day. Today was a bit chilly. #mbnov
Today I say “thank you” to all of the veterans who served before me, with me, and to those currently serving.
I look up the definiton to all of the word prompts, just to be sure. Elderly means: beyond middle age. So I got to learn that middle age is the range of years from 45 to about 64.
I guess I still have a few more years of adulting before I hit the middle ages.

Today’s 5k was in support of Disabled American Veterans (DAV). For 100 years their mission has been to support and assist American veterans and their families and to serve as an advocate for those suffering from wounds that will forever bind them to the horrors of war.
It’s only day 7 of MicroblogNovember and it feels like more of a burden than fun. I think that only one or two, of my posts are legitimate posts that I would have wanted to create. Perhaps I need to re-evaluate my process or what compels me to participate.

I finished reading The Richest Man in Babylon the other day. I enjoyed it and learned a bit, but I think it is definitely a book that should be gifted to young adults. While there is nothing puzzling about the advice, developing the discipline to apply the advice is key. #mbnov
