Why do some of your coffee grounds fly all over and stick to things
Ever had that experience after grinding coffee where the coffee grounds sort of “fly” out of the cup holder when you are removing it and stick to your hands and countertop as you are trying to sweep them up? Me too, and I’ve always wondered about it. Turns out that grinding beans can generate a…

What I learned last week (#193): skipping stones
It’s been two weeks since I posted a WILLW update, which means I missed a week. I had COVID (again). And shingles (?!). Both were boring and sucked and there isn’t much else to say about it except that we’re all on the mend and it’s good to get my annual fall illness behind me.…

What I learned last week (#192): introspections
Some call it fall and others autumn, but whatever, it’s my favorite time of year and last week was just the start. Blustery storms, the sun getting lower on the horizon, some cool in the air, colorful leaves. I was enjoying it all last week as we’ve been having our first fires of the season.…

What I learned last week (#191): open a door and beckon

What I learned last week (#189): get back
Last week was a “get back” week. Get back to work (after a week away), get back to routine (after letting things slide in August), and get back to life at home. Now that I’m back, I’m starting to read and draw and game more, so more writing here is on the way. Here is…

What I learned last week (#188): continual growth
I don’t have a ton to share from last week as it felt like a heads-down-grinding-type of week. Not in a bad way though. I worked on getting the kids off to school, worked on juggling things with my wife’s first week at her new job, worked on the house, and worked on catching up…

What I learned last week (#187): falling through Jupiter
Last week was the first week of part-time work for me, which was a bit of a strange feeling. All of the “extra” time this frees up (which accounts to only 16 hours) was eaten up quickly by the kids and house so it didn’t feel more relaxed. If anything, it just felt like I…
