  • 2017-09-01 September Strategy

    I am rolling into month #3 of not being employed. I’ve checked the numbers and I’m still good with regards to the financial aspect of this little experiment. I took a couple months to spend some extra special quality time with the kids and to work on “me” with the intent of not thinking or…

  • 2017-08-25 Celebrating Successes

    This one has been stewing for a while. I put it in the crock pot in February and I think it’s about ready. It’s about setting goals, but more specifically about meeting goals that have been set already. My objective this year, very generically, was to have a happier, healthiier life. That’s too broad to…

  • 2017-08-19 Satisfying Saturday

    I could talk about the health tests I took yesterday. That was pretty cool, and I want to talk about it but now does not feel like the time. I just got back from an evening bike ride which started at my house and led me into and past downtown Papillion and then west on…

  • 2017-08-18 In the Name of Health

    Today is Friday and this day is JAM PACKED with goodness. It’s not even 6AM but my body has decided that more sleep is just not going to happen. Rather my brain has decided. I drop the kids off to school at 8AM and the first thing I am doing is going to UNO (University…

  • 2017-08-13 Today is Mine

    When I woke this morning at 7:33 after about 7 hours of sleep I said to myself, “Today is going to be my day”. I said it in a nice way, like I was going to hug the day and enjoy every minute of it’s time. Not in a mean sort of ownership way. I’m…

  • 2017-08-11 Who Am I?

    Today I dug a trench in my back yard and it’s almost ready for me to start doing the brick work. I also went for a bike ride and discovered where/how the Patio trail connects with the Keystone trail, so that 4th of July mystery has been solved. After that I took a nap and…

  • 2017-08-05 Not Ready for “What Now”

    It’s just past 6AM and I’ve been awake since 4 something. The sun is just around the corner and there is light outside now and I’ve opened the curtains and the windows which is a sure sign I’ve given up the notion of any more sleeping on this night. I was so tired when I…

  • 2017-07-05 Mission Accomplished

    I made my solo ride to the river on the 4th. I made it all the way there and back – about 40 miles round trip and it was absolutely amazing. I don’t have words to describe the range of emotions I felt along the way, or at least now words to do it justice.…
