I don't keep a conventional diary or journal. The reason I sometimes post my thoughts and feelings about big events is because I like to go back a few years later and remind myself what I was doing and thinking at a critical time. So it's entirely personal. I'm not trying to win any political argument or incite anger. 

Unplanned day off:Andy had a wrestling tournament down in Utah County so I decided to ride the bus with the team right after school ended. Didn't get back until 10 PM. Went home and went to bed.

Yeah, the FRB is the closest I have to a journal, too. Rarely ventures off running/working out, but it does once in a while. I appreciate reading your thoughts, especially your insights as a parent/teacher.

I did the same thing a couple of months ago explaining why I'm a Trump supporter. Luckily nobody reads my blog anymore. But it was somewhat therapeutic to get my thoughts out.

Where is that, Burt? I don't see it in your history

Was today an off day?

Wow. It was longer back than I thought. It's my April 21, 2020 entry.
