      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Thought I change things up a little bit. Why not? For a couple of months, my wife and I have been feeding our younger son baby food. It’s been a challenge.&#xA;&#xA;Normally, I would write about this on my other blog, but it’s down for maintenance and revamping. Truthfully, I don’t know when I’ll bring it online again. All I know is that it will be used again in the unforeseen future in the off chance I go back to the workplace.&#xA;&#xA;I discussed this new blog with family and friends so updating them isn’t a problem. But since my other blog is offline I’m wondering if I should write about being a stay-at-home dad, private investigator, and other topics. I don’t want to limit myself, but I don’t want to do the extra work of copying an article on this blog and pasting it to my other blog.&#xA;&#xA;My best solution is to let the topics come out naturally on paper, type them on the WriteFreely app, and decide whether to publish or not. We’ll see.&#xA;&#xA;Finally, my red Blackwing 746 pencil is about two more inches useable before I throw it into my tiny pencil collection. It’s been a great pencil, but I don’t plan on buying another one soon. And buying a box is out of the question. So what pencil should I use next?&#xA;&#xA;Maybe I’ll use a Blackwing 602 from a box I bought at a discount. More on that later.&#xA;&#xA;writing&#xA;article&#xA;babyfood&#xA;pencil&#xA;privateinvestigator&#xA;stayathomedad&#xA;&#xA;a href=&#34;https://remark.as/p/ernestortizwritesnow.com/baby-food-pencils-and-future-articles&#34;Discuss.../a&#xA;&#xA;!--emailsub--&#xA;]]&gt;</description>
