This is my son, Seth Isaac Miller, at about age 10. I haven't seen him since 2013, when his evil biological mother -- for the second time -- brought false allegations against me with DCBS. I sure do miss him! I love you, son, always!

What a tenderhearted child, but oh what a victim of his mother's propaganda. And, I'm quite sure, of numerous failures on my part. What a testament to the evil, unfair, cruel nature of this world that we were the victims of such manipulation and of a very screwed-up system and the ineptitude of so many government workers, not to mention the laxity of my own lawyer.

I can only hope and pray that you have found a happy adulthood, son, a life you find fulfilling and joyful. Those are my fondest wishes for you. Some months ago, I came into possession of this photo of my son in his teens. I don't know how old he is in <a target="_new" href="/content/images/teenSeth.jpg"">this picture. I'm thinking sixteen, perhaps.

Most definitely I can see both his mother and myself in his features. Sadly, he doesn't look happy in this photo. I can only hope it's temporary and situational, perhaps teenage angst.

My brother, Allan, is in from Dayton, Ohio, having arrived yesterday around 3:00 pm local time. Last night I ate supper with him and Bobo, then he and I played six games of MTG, each winning three. I used the same red/white deck each time, the only one I had with me. But today I will take all my decks (about a dozen), for the sake of variety.

I posted a brag/thankfulness on Facebook today from my cell regarding my 11th wedding anniversary with Susan Miller on 10/25/2019. I am indeed a lucky, blessed man. Susan got me a cute little silvery keychain trinket that says "I still do" and has the date 10.25.08 inscribed. I've got it on my keychain (note: need picture).

I've ordered her a gift but it hasn't arrived yet.

Friday we're supposed to congregate in Crocus to burn a brush pile and have a weenie-roast supper. They're calling for rain but not until after dark.

I suppose tomorrow after work that I'll go on over and play cards with Allan. I'd like to get home by 9:00 pm tomorrow night. I do enjoy our games, though. I think right now it's about 8 games to 5, his lead. But I'm not sure.

He's built about another eighteen decks since he was down last time for a visit.

Today when I got to work C. had emailed me, upset. She'd discovered the refrigerator door wide open, temperature 70 °F. I had K. requisition emergency money from the Business Office to replace a few perishables. We still had our roast for lunch — Manhattan style.

Allan made it in about 3ish this afternoon. I saw Dr. Sherry Jones and got enough refills for 6+ months. Then Susan and I went and had supper with Bobo and Allan in Crocus.

We had white beans, cornbread, relish, onions, pork chops, country ham, fried potatoes, and boiled cabbage.

I came across a couple more pictures of dad I collected in the days and weeks after he passed in March 2016. Sure do miss him.

Tomorrow, I'll call CertaCare and have them fill the B12 sublingual and the vitamin D. I'll pick it up after work, do my 10K run, then have supper with Allan and Bobo before he and I play some Magic: The Gathering.

That's a picture of Paul Miller's old that Okie Trumbo bought from mom after dad passed away. Okie's done a lot of work on it.

While I was doing my notes at work today (billed on 5 clients), I showed Remember The Titans. I think they really enjoyed it. Even my two elderly gentleman stayed an hour later than usual to finish it. And the movie teaches a lot of good values. We'll discuss it during group tomorrow morning, for continuity's sake. I need to demonstrate from my questions and discussion about the movie that there was a clinical reason for showing it.

I was hoping to run this afternoon but got rained out. I came home and took a nap after eating some pork roast over toast for supper. Right now, Susan and I are sitting with Papa Brummett (Jimmie) while Mamaw (Barbara) is at Bible study.

H's fiance, AR, decompensated (anxiety and depression) and is hospitalized.

Nativefy my blog using nativefier

To create an Electron app version of my blog:

(a) open a command prompt and navigate to C:Userskyrat (b) ensure TNAS unit it powered on and working properly (c) open a web browser and navigate to: http://192.168.254.22:8800/cms/ (d) ensure you can see your blog when the browser navigation resolves (e) open an elevated command prompt and navigate to C:Userskyrat (f) enter the following: nativefier http://192.168.254.22:8800/cms/ (g) The nativefier will infer, copy, and package, producing a new directory with subdirectories/files (h) The new directory is The blog of @kyrathasoft-win32-x64

It might be nice to occasionally (monthly?) make an Electron app version of the Flatpress blog that runs atop Apache. I could leave copies of the Electron version for Susan and Allan in the event of my death. Reason? None of them would know how to troubleshoot any Flatpress/hosting/apache issues without my help.

Pastor appreciation and meal

- Posted in Uncategorized by

Tomorrow at church we'll be celebrating our pastor. Tomorrow at church we'll be celebrating, who's been with us quite a few years now. Okie (i.e., Craig) is from Oklahoma, but has lived in Kentucky for more than two decades. He works in Bowling Green making the struts and other parts for steel bridges.

There'll be a big meal following the service. I think Mark Klingberg will also give a report on the congregation's recent finances.

Susan and I got up about 6:15 am this morning. I lay back down about eight and slept another three hours :)

I'm getting ready to mop the downstairs. Susan is washing a load of my running socks. And I received a shipment from Stitchfix.com today and we picked out a shirt to keep. I'll wear it to church tomorrow.

It's about 1:30 pm. I'm uploading a bunch of mp3 files to my Onedrive account. I'm going to also upload them to my NAS, then make a Macrium backup of my ASUS laptop.


Susan, Emma, and I have been watching some Halloweenish movies. The kind of stuff Susan really likes. It's nice having Emma home for the weekend.

I talked to mom and stepped her through getting her iphone functional after an OS update. She said she's been slinging hash all day in preparation for the Pastor Appreciation Luncheon after the service tomorrow. She's tired.

I wrote a brief article today about how to package this blog as an Electron app.

Inebriation - not good

- Posted in Uncategorized by

Today at work we had a 10:00 am hour-long meeting with the P.I. department staff to review what to expect when CARF comes next year.

I had to confront two male TR clients today regarding arriving at the clinic under the effects of alcohol.

Ate some leftover tuna casserole and chicken pot pie for supper after an 8-mile run after work. The weather was perfect, around 65 ° F.

Susan and I have watched some more episodes of Money Heist on Netflix, and I texted mom. She said she talked to Big Al and he may come down sometime next week. If so, we may burn a pile of brush and have a weenie-roast.

Inspection, movie, and popcorn

- Posted in Uncategorized by

Vickie Robertson visited Green TR today. I did group this morning on sanitation steps toward preventing the spread of germs during flu season. Then we reviewed data from our recent group on psychotropic medications for treatment mental illness.

Later, I showed Where The Red Fern Grows, and the clients had popcorn.

I converted the .mkv version of the slideshow executable of my Hinton Orchard field trip photos to .mp4, dropping file size from 52 to 23 Mb. To do that, I installed the portable version of Handbrake on my King Dian 120 Gb drive that is connected to my Azulle Plus PC at TR.

I found this picture on Grant and Emma taken 12 August 2017 while we were moving Grant into his dorm at the University of Kentucky.

I received another bill from T.J. Health Columbia this afternoon, my balance somewhat less than three grand. I sent them $75.00 again (the second time: the first was on 9/28), and a letter explaining this represents the limit of my ability to pay.

I spent $719 with Goff Auto to get brake pads, calipers, and other repairs. The jeep definitely drives quieter/better.

Dog and depressed coworker

- Posted in Uncategorized by

Today was a busy day at work. Of course, Wednesdays usually are, since that's Dr. H and the nurse practitioner's day. I had fourteen in TR! That's our best turnout in 2019.


I found this pic of Millie in my lap, taken back in November of 2013. She used to sit in my lap often when she was young. As for her orientation, what can I say? That's a scent she likes.

Several people at work seem really stressed with the direct-time requirements. And S seems depressed. She's tired all the time and said she's ready for a change. I think she may have been talking about more than just her job.

Me and Susan 15 October 2023

- Posted in Uncategorized by

I found this picture of Susan and me while vacationing in Panama City in 2017 with the kids.

Today, we had a dozen clients for our field trip to Hinton Orchard. They seemed to really enjoy the hayride. We waited until getting back to TR to eat our sack lunches. It was only 10:30 am when we arrived.

I'm still dorking around with the Windows LInux Subsystem on my Hewlett Packard. I've installed mono this evening.

I ran 10-K this afternoon for the second time in two days, this afternoon.

Hinton's orchard

- Posted in Uncategorized by

Well, fairly relaxed day at work today. Only six clients at TR. Tomorrow is our field trip to Hinton's Orchard. I'm not particularly looking forward to it. I'm guessing 8-10 clients to actually show up in time to make the trip.

I'm trying out OwnCloud by installing it on VirtualBox as an appliance, on my HP computer. That failed to work, even after I enabled the Hypervisor feature on Windows 10. So then I enabled the Linux subsystem, rebooted, went to the Windows Store, and downloaded and installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
