  • 2017-09-20 Walking Dead Wednesday

    Part of my new-ish routine since the kids went back to school is to hit the gym as soon as soon as I drop them off. This morning, I can barely go up and down the stairs without feeling it. Either I’ve overdone it since getting back from Austin or I’m getting sick. Both seem…

  • 2017-09-19 Taco Tuesday

    It is quite rare for it to be 8:30PM and not only am I not really tired yet, but have sort of run out of things to do. Well, there are always things to do, but things that I could start that I would finish by bedtime. I’m planning to go to bed at 10:30…

  • 2017-09-19 Going to Try the “E2”

    It’s Tuesday and this morning I woke up at 4:30AM, by my own choosing, and got my grocery shopping for the week done and was back home in time to wake Z up for school at 6AM. There’s a chapter in a book I was flipping through, “The Four Hour Body”, which talks about sleep…

  • 2017-09-18 A Very Nice Homecoming Indeed

    Austin was lovely as usual and a nice change of pace and retreat from the normal SugarCookie life. But what is “normal” now days? It’s become highly focussed on health and well being with a heavy dose of doing all the things I want to do when I want to do them. Not a bad…

  • 2017-09-17 Austin: The P.Terry’s Cheeseburger.. 3

    Saturday morning we went to the soccer fields to watch Rebecca’s daughter play her very first soccer game ever. It was hot, and muggy, and the sun felt like it was burning our skin. And that was before it was even 11AM. When it was over, we decided to grab a quick bite to eat…

  • 2017-09-17 Austin Day 4: Sunday Wake Up

    I woke up at 6AM at the conclusion of a dream I was having about a situation of injustice surrounding a child who did not have a voice of their own to defend what was happening to them. I had been trying tirelessly for hours to plead with the people around him or her to…

  • 2017-09-16 Austin Day 3: A Well Balanced Life

    Last night we had a very casual Friday evening with the kids. We talked and played and watched a movie and then after they went to bed Rebecca and I sat out on the deck and continued chatting over a bottle of wine. I kept mine to just a few glasses because I’m really intending…

  • 2017-09-15 Austin Day 2: Connections and Perspective

    Yesterday I met with Jill and Jason and met their little darlings for the first time. They are friends of mine who I know because of Matt and that’s a story that repeats as people come together and break apart. New friendships are formed, others fade away. I wrote a poem last valentines day about…
