I got on the phone first thing to settle a couple of issues:
*Goddamn Nugenix accessed my debit card without my authorization.  I purchased a trial version of their free-testosterone, but evidently, unbeknownst to ME, it created an implied contract with them for future purchases.  I made a rather unfriendly call to them, cancelling my account, and obtaining a return authorization number.  I also called the bank who said because it was a debit card purchase they can’t cancel it.  What they COULD do would be to FREEZE my account, but that would place other purchases in jeopardy.
*Called Delta Dental of Kansas for an explanation of benefits in relation to my last dental visit.

I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you've provided. I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Armanen Rune: Tyr: 
Havamal 156.
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

8th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Discipline
Discipline is a training to obey rules, a code of behavior or a branch of knowledge.  It’s a method of systematic instruction intended to train a person within a given idea or method.  Our Way is not an easy way. In many aspects, we fly in the face of the society around us. Be disciplined enough to stay Tru to the ideals of Heathenry as they unfold in your life. Be diligent in the study of your beliefs. Endeavor to honor the gods and goddesses of the Northern Germanic peoples (Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).

Toby and I out for a well-behaved, mid-morning, 30min walk.

A colleague from Weaver Manufacturing called.  I met them at Mo’s Sub Shop https://www.yelp.com/biz/moes-sub-shop-wichita for lunch.  Typically, he mostly talked about old times at Weaver and his surgeries.  Neither he nor his new wife are that interesting to me.  I wish I would’ve gone on with my original plan to meet-up with the German food truck downtown.  Now THAT would’ve been more interesting and it wouldn’t have taken that much of a bit out of my day.

Hephner-TV http://www.hephnertv.com/ to discuss any way to improve my over-the-air reception; which isn’t bad, but I want it to be better.  I THINK there’s a plan…

Fun stuff from Amazon has started coming-in!  HAHAHAHA…after I pass from this life, which won’t be for a while yet (right ancestors?), people are going to wonder WTF when they start going through my things.  I’ve already specified my niece is the only one who is allowed to go into my boudoir.  She knows me like no other.  She’s the only one I could trust not totally freaking-out.  She would just shake her head and say, “Yep, that’s my uncle…not surprised”.

WOW!  Haven’t done this kind of online counseling in a long time.
*THAT took a while
<> 
WOW!  Did I just watch “Star Wars; The Force Awakens” FOR FREE on Google Play?  It could’ve easily been subtitled, “The Search for Luke Skywalker” who was found @ the end.  Nonetheless, it was an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT tie-in to the original episodes.  Returning was:
Han Solo
Chewy
Princess Leia, now General Leia
C3PO and R2D2
Evidently Leia and Han were lovers and had a son who turned to the Dark Side, killed in this episode.  Also killed-off was Han Solo.  Additionally, Luke Skywalker looks like he could become the same Jedi figure that Obi-Wan Kenobi was to him.  Not thinking about the latest “Rouge One” release, but it DOES seem like the Jedi Sage could continue.

God/dess Meditation: Ostara, trustworthy goddess; husband to Brego; the adherent god of scalds, keeper of the golden apples of youth and eternal life, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!
