The UK trip was nice, but a bit to go-go-go. Guess I'm not in my 20s anymore. Seriously though, it was a nice intro to the various locations, but I would like to spend more time in each and get to see them more in depth.

In London! Didn't really sleep on the plane, but we forced ourselves to stay awake until a bit ago and then took a couple hour nap. Going to stay up now until normal bedtime

Headed to the UK next week for our first trip overseas! Can't believe it took us this long, all of our kids have been there at least once already.

We had a good orphan burn this weekend and got the art project from the burn last year set up on our new property

We're doing an orphan burn at our new property this weekend. Should be fun, but it is much cooler than usual for this time of year in Michigan.

The American military should not be used against the American people—period. Trump’s takeover of D.C. puts every single one of us in harm's way. Add your name to the petition to protect our communities NOW! sign.moveon.org/petitions/dc...

Just watched "The Penguin Lessons" and I worry that our country is becoming like Argentina in the 1970s. Good movie.

RIP to my friend Joel Weidinger, aka Joel the Ornery. We knew each other for 20 some years and while we didn't agree on everything, especially politics, we were still friends. Thanks for being my friend, for being a good husband and a good father.

I was bad this weekend and overused my left arm and the bursitis has not gotten better. I am doing nothing hard with it for the next couple of weeks and will take as much Advil as I am allowed to try and get this under control. My bad for overdoing it.

We have to keep making copies of history so it isn't forgotten and can be restored
Erasure takes many forms, but this is quite blatant.
