I am SO old that:- I remember having to walk up to the television to change the channel- I remember when we had one single rotary dial phone in the kitchen with no answering machine and we would all need to take turns to use it and ask specifically for someone on the other end (and it took forever to dial a 10 digit number that had lots of digits above 5)- I remember when we had to wash dishes by hand, ALL of them and it was our chore after each meal to wash them- I remember when windows in cars were rolled down by hand and to lock a car, you had to open each door and push the knob down manually- I remember when the internet was a 14.4 modem connected to the Beaverton BBS and talking to the SYSOP was the highlight of the ‘online’ adventure!- I...

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. [Ecclesiastes 3:1] Pause and think on that as is Matts motto.

Its a sunny saturday morning. A little cool, 18 or something outside… I’m relaxing here in our dining room looking out the front window on the sun covered rolling hills and wind swept grass.

Coffee hasn’t tasted SO good in a while. I’m tired, a little cold (house got down to 17 degrees :/ ). Its almost nice that its monday, cause the weekend seemed really busy. I’m sure I’ll quickly snap out of that feeling once I actually start work though  I have to fiddle with the fire every 15 minutes right now to get it bigger and bigger so I can get the house temp up to 20 again.  We’re out of the house so much on weekends often, especially sunday that the fire dies and the house cools before we’re back to stoke it again. Part of having a wood furnace I guess. Its a good thing we have an automatic oil backup!! And I’m complaining about stoking the fire, its only -2 out Whats going to happen when its -10 or -15 and...
