Sometimes there are aspects of our world that scare me ~~a little bit~~ quite considerably. A while back, I might have mentioned that our middle son — now in his mid-30s — has bee…

As the final hours of the fourth quarter of 2025 wind down, I have to admit that I was not expecting that to happen in the dark! ![0459-PineSunset.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/fil…

On any given day, I end up watching a wide spread of videos and vlogs on a wide range of topics. I suppose I might be considered *"boring"* in the sense that I am more interested …

I have often wondered why it is that whenever some really *"unfortunate"* and unexpected bill comes up — and I feel like I am left with no option but to sell some crypto — it invar…

A couple of months back, **@acidyo** posted the question of sharing something we *like* and *dislike* about Hive. You can **[read his orignal post here](https://peakd.com/hive-1737…

It seems to me that *"they"* have been saying that *"blogging is dead"* for almost as long as there has been blogging. ![0446-Leaf.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/den…

Most of the time, when people think of *"feeling overwhelmed by chaos"*, the thing that comes to mind is typically physical clutter. That said, sometimes it can be the *mental an…

Although I don't really mind the fact that I am *"getting older,"* one of the things I *don't* like to much about it is that I am becoming less and less able to count on my energy …

There's a bit of a paradox — or maybe it's merely a conundrum — in the world, insofar as we are *"expected"* to be as productive as we possibly can be, but we're working within a s…

This morning, I accompanied Mrs. Denmarkguy to our local *express clinic* because she has has a pervasive cough that has now been lingering for a couple of weeks without really get…

There is always something that needs to be done! When I got up this morning, one of the *first* things I intended to do was sit down and write a blog post while my mind still felt…

Unlike many people, we do not have regular garbage pickup. That is to say, we have chosen to *opt out* of having garbage collection, because it just doesn't seem like almost US $9…

I suppose the term *"Hopium"* is often used in crypto circles, but it really applies to the broader world, as well. ![0459-WildCoast.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/d…

In service of stimulating activity here in our Hive community, I have decided to revive a regular *"column"* I had on one of my *(pre-Hive)* blogs, a couple of decades ago. ![2025…

And so, it became September! September has always felt like a *"winding down"* time to me, even though there is still one-third of the year still to come. ![20250901_005730.jpg](…

> *"You are old, Father William, and exceedingly grey!"* It is my birthday today — I am turning 65. ![20250629_121216.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/denmarkguy/23wg…

What what would you be doing — if anything — if you didn't have to worry about the daily stresses of life and grind culture and the inevitable mountains of bills and deadlines and …

Everywhere I look around me there is advice and instructionals on how to succeed by applying yourself to *"grind culture"* and relentlessly pursuing goals and dreams. ![0014-TinyD…

From time to time, I end up watching YouTube videos of people exploring abandoned places. It's rather fascinating to see the way houses and even stately homes end up just *sitting*…
