Office Upgrade

 OK, I have been upgrading my office environment for the past few weeks.  So far I have had a wood floor installed and just purchased a new "Smart TV" which I have gotten hung on the wall and up and running.  I'm not finished yet, I still need to paint the walls a two-tone grey, dark below, light above, and ceiling.  right now I'm exploring the items to be in the office and how many.  I have more "stuff" than there is room for and not to look cluttered.  I'll try to include some pictures of it in my next posting, soon I hope.

A Year Ago

 Wow!  It has been a year since I have been on my own blog.  It has been a good year for me, I visited my Daughter in Portland three times and found a Church I like, Hope Lutheran, and had a visit from a good friend from Fullerton Ca. Steve Crisanti.

I have discovered how great YouTube can be in finding good Literary, Philosophical, Theological, and Entertainment, topics.  It has been satisfying all my needs and desires for some time now.

A couple of my favorites have been, Benjamin McEvoy's on Literature, and Ryan Holiday on Stoicism.

Another tangent I have been off on is 19 Th. Century Russian Literature.  I'm especially enamored with both Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky.  I have found, so far, Tolstoy's, War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and Tolstoy's Confessions very interesting.  I have completed Confessions so far, and I'm on a one-year reading schedule to complete War and Peace.  I hope to live long enough to complete Anna Karenina.  I have watched TV Mini Series' on both W&P and AK.  I have only gotten into Dostoyevsky, by watching a Russian movie of his novel, The Idiot, I found it to be both interesting and entertaining..

Stoicism.  I'm still very much integrated into Stoicism, Stoicism has significantly changed my life, for the meaning of life.  I am happy, satisfied, and content with my life as it is, here and now.

This is all I have for the moment.  I will try to attend to this Blog on a more frequent schedule than I have done in the past year.

Until the next post,

Rex
