More From Wisconsin!!!!

I haven’t shaved since…. Hmmmm… last Saturday. I hate shaving, actually. If I don’t have too, I won’t. I am starting to look like the Wolfman! AAARROOOOO!!!!!

During the summer, I shave when the beard starts to really itch. And, actually, it has. So, maybe it is time. ---- These thoughts are merely starter thoughts. I am trying to muster up something to write, now that I have the gumption to actually put something down on virtual paper.

I have to clean.

Now, there is a stunning thought! CLEAN!!!! WOW, what a thought!!!

It isn’t bad in here, but I need to continue de-winterizing. I took the day off from the physical stuff outside just so I could do the physical stuff (push a vacuum) on the inside. I’ve been reading since I awoke this morning. It’s now close to four, and I’ve put the dirty dishes in the sink. That has been the most I’ve done!!! Oh, and I made coffee. I have to stop being lazy. Nothing is going to get done if I just sit on the porch reading books. I am here for a reason, and that reason is to make sure everything is tip-top! I am happy to report that yard clean-up is going well. It is nice to finally see some of those “tree rubbish” piles finally start to disappear. The only issue I now have is to where to put the wood once it is cut…. Damn! It’s always something. I don’t often burn when I am here alone. I get restless sitting alone… There is something to be said about fires with groups. Though, I have spent the last two days burning off my excess amount of kindling I seem to make when cutting wood. My arm hurts… thought I would mention it. I continue wood processing tomorrow. I decided that when I return from Chicago next weekend, I am not doing anything, but chill… Well, I might have to tend to the grass… BUT, that’s it!!!!

During the school year, I forget how much I actually do enjoy pleasure reading. I do a lot during the summer because I don’t want the mind to go… “Keep sharp!” I say to myself. “Exercise the gray matter!” Sadly, I don’t do much during the regular school year. Most of that reading is the “have to” reads for lesson preparation or what have you. I hate that reading, mainly because it is forced. I hate having to be “forced”… I like choices. Then again, it’s my job, and I prefer having one then not having one. I muddle through the “have tos” so I can eat… Then I await for summer. I pick my list, and I go at it full force. I am, I think 2/5 through my summer reading list … going wild!!!!! I can feel the gray matter being stimulated! I can feel myself becoming a better writer!!! Wait, let me look… Ummm… no, I am not. Oh well. Maybe all that bull shit about reading to become a better writer and vice versa is all a bunch of crapola! Hmmmm….. I’ve always wanted to be a master writer. I just can’t think of any good stories. None. Zippo. How does one go about telling a good story?

I am boring myself. So, I will let this one go down in the annals of “Shit” I wasted time with. I think I am going to look for some good mental stimulation so that the next time I feel the “chill” to put shit to virtual paper, it is damn entertaining…. Maybe it is all those books…. My mind is in thinking mode and not creative mode… And, here I vowed not to think… DAMN!

Oh, one last thing…… This occurred to me last night. Cheese spread is not Cheese sauce. They are not the same thing. They are two different genres of cheese product. Sorry, but one can’t come up to “Cheeseland” without the talk of cheese. That would be impossible.

Prost!
