Today is a rainy day in December around Eastern Iowa. We’re justing hanging out waiting for Spring.

Sena Got an Invisible 29 Hand!27 Mar 2026
Invisible to us anyway. We’ve been excited about filming our first Cribbage Rumble game and we thought the first video we got on March 25, 2026 was too disorganized and chaotic to accept. It’s a good thing I didn’t discard the clips—because Sena got a 29 hand. The trouble was we both failed to notice … Continue reading "Sena Got an Invisible 29 Hand!"
New Cribbage Rumble Game Today!26 Mar 2026
We finished the first Cribbage Rumble game on our new board today! Remember, yesterday the game was very long and I think the memory card pooped out at a crucial moment. So, today I went out and bought a new memory card with more space on it and we started from scratch making a new … Continue reading "New Cribbage Rumble Game Today!"
Marathon Cribbage Rumble Game Today!25 Mar 2026

Saw What Might Be a Red-tail Hawk in Our Back Yard24 Mar 2026
We saw some kind of raptor today in our back yard and I couldn’t tell for sure if it was a Red-tail hawk or not. I got the video with an old Canon point-and-shoot through a window at 7:45 in the morning and she sky was overcast. It had a dark spot below its eye, … Continue reading "Saw What Might Be a Red-tail Hawk in Our Back Yard"

We both scored the complex hand, came up with 50 points, checked it with skunkeddotclub and it was correct! We played only 3 hands but the high scores led to … Continue reading "9 Card Cribbage Hand 50 Pointer Today!"
That Pecking Robin is Back Again!23 Mar 2026
A couple of days ago, last year’s pesky female robin came back to peck at one of the basement windows. It’s a window well and she looks like she might be bringing next materials to it. She’s also beating at the window with her wings, as though she sees her reflection—despite the window film Sena … Continue reading "That Pecking Robin is Back Again!"

Plan for retirement, even if you don’t plan to retire. This means sound financial planning, developing other interests, and nurturing your relationships with significant others. Retire, even if you are not retired. Take enough time off periodically, and completely, with no connections to work, so that you can feel emotionally free from concerns about patients and practice. Of course, there is no reason to retire if you really love your work and relationships just as they are.-H. Steven Moffic, MD See original article in Psychiatric Times
