I return back to teaching work this week. Boy am I happy to be going back to work. Looking for my work files after the pandemic has been tricky but fun.

2021 Issues with Acorns
Acorns is a horrible banking and investment service. They charge strange fees at odd times. These fees then cause bounced checks on your bank account. I then pressed the “stop payment” button 8 times weeks ago. They tried to reactivate my account without authorization, and charged me again today. More fees was the result! I hate them with a burning passion. Unfortunately there is no Yelp for banking services so I have to blog it. When I checked on it there was nothing to warn me about these people sucking so incredibly bad. Here is your public service warning if you are thinking of starting an account: Acorns is Horrible.

Brother James
My brother James Menzies has flown in to live in Virginia. His photo is below with Anne on the left and Alexandria on the right. We are taking him out to dinner tonight. He is a retired Army veteran which served in many tours of duty in the Middle East. Boy does he have interesting ideas to say about the American pull out from Afghanistan this week.

2021 Music
My faith in Virginia humanity has been somewhat restored as I had a great time out dancing and enjoying music last Friday. It has inspired me to get out and about locally for music more often this year.

Adventures in Camping DC Area
Adventures in camping for me this week in the DC area. Van camping mixed with tents as I dodged the epic rain. All on national s’mores week as luck would have it.
