Picking a College

We've been watching old episodes of the Bill Cosby Show on Netflix lately. I'm thrilled that Jason finds them just as entertaining as I do. Colleen seems to enjoy it or at least tolerate it enough for the guys to keep watching.


Today's big drama was Denise--second oldest daughter--making the big announcement to the family on where she'd be going to college. She got five acceptance letters: Cal Berkeley, NYU, University of North Dakota Minot, University of Hawaii, and Hillman. Ah, Hillman, alma mater of her father and grandfather. I'm not sure where Clair studied law.

Studying in the Closet

So where do you like to study?

The worst place for me was always the library. I always felt stuffy and stifled. North Central Bible College had a great library, but I only used it to pick up books and get out quickly. 

200 Hours in 200 Days

This is not going to be a play by play like I did with my weight loss goals last year, but I have a new personal target. This time it's related to completing the first draft on my book, All I Needed to Say. 200 hours in 200 days gets me, hopefully, through my first draft by September 4. I'm on day 14 and my hours are at 18:25. While I've been at this for months already, the focus I've been getting from this new goal has added some real productivity to my daily words-on-the-page output.

If you're new to this conversation, my book is a father's parting words to my children (and all Christian kids) as they launch out from home to independence and the big choices in life.
