My anxiety. My temper.
Daily writing promptWhat is one thing you would change about yourself?View all responses I understand the question asked me to muse about "one thing", however, my teacher-brain didn't want to hypenate anxiety-temper-WTF-is-going-on mood. It is one of the reasons I've taken to the meditation program offered by Headspace. Does it make me feel better? Not … Continue reading My anxiety. My temper.
I’d like to be crepuscular.

Meat is murder. Delicious, delicous murder!
What food can I not give up?
If I **must** wear clothes, then it’s boots. Waterproof & insulated snowboots!
**Must**...?! Let me explain. When the Georgian Bay is warm enough, I enjoy doning neoprene and hopping into Five Fathoms Marine Park. Now that I have more time, I can resume this passion using Diver's Den as my preferred charter. That, and go fishing. I'm enjoying my first night at my new home (while we … Continue reading If I **must** wear clothes, then it’s boots. Waterproof & insulated snowboots!
Oh hell no!
Instincts can save one’s life.
Toronto Island!
I like to signal boost.
Oh, that’s easy! LDCC Science 9.
https://midimike.com/2023/11/10/a-favorite-subject-in-school/ Let me back up. I hated high school so much, I eventually became a science standup philosopher. Translation: despite me best efforts to avoid the family tradition, I became a school teacher. Where my dad restricted his experience to elementary school (middle-school aged, 12-14 year olds), I went full ballstothewall high school. 14 to … Continue reading Oh, that’s easy! LDCC Science 9.
Companionship and portability!
What is good about having a pet? When I’ve had enough of our house-panthers, I can scoop them up and toss them into a room. I do that to a human child, I get arrested. My niece & nephew are old enough to avoid this fate (when they eventually visit our farm). And companionship. The … Continue reading Companionship and portability!
Podcasts, yes!
I enjoy audio, without tormenting my spouse.
My favourite websites, in semi-order…
Wikipedia, of course. I treat it like the worldwide edition of People Magazine + TMZ + Encyclopedia Galactica 🙂 . I like knowing that I can never view all the pages in my lifetime. For fun, TS will ask me how I got from Point Aye to Bee... and I show her! Wikivoyage. Ibid. I … Continue reading My favourite websites, in semi-order…
Historians will be puzzled by 1970-onward
History is unreliable.
Sitting on the ball of doom and the homesteader regime!
What is your favorite form of physical exercise? I find myself falling asleep on inflated exercise balls... and TS finds that mildly amazed that I can do it (for hours?!). When I am feeling like a nogoodnik, I grab Io (1 of our housepanthers) and corporally cuddle her. That cat looks resigned to her fate. … Continue reading Sitting on the ball of doom and the homesteader regime!
A manicure (fix these claws up)… that’s what I would try.
Pedicures and Flesherton detours.
The Bruce Trail Conservancy – they get my mythical $1M
Truth can be stranger than fiction, no?
Lost everything? Open up, “the box”
possessions, pets, pettiness, places-to-play
Paul’s answer: my post-career health
Time to get on the farm, before the Fall heat.
My priority? Today, check out rentals. Tomorrow, (gentlemen) farm maintenance.
TS needs a bigger table; PN needs to mess around on the woodlot.
Best advice? That would be an old Estonian proverb…
Daily writing promptWhat's the best piece of advice you've ever received?View all responses I know that I have had some harsh things to say about my father, Rein Neem. However, he did give me some sage advice (and skills needed to be in the bush): "before you are about to say something, take a sip … Continue reading Best advice?

For an overused word, that would be BAD (or hell, GOOD)
Daily writing promptIf you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?View all responses These overused and vague words have no place in my life. I won't be naive and assume HATE and LOVE are words that I can give up. Bad work. Good work. I spent 20-some-odd years … Continue reading For an overused word, that would be BAD (or hell, GOOD)
