    2020-06-30 Take Back the City Tour: Day 15 Colorado Wrap Up

    We arrived home from our Colorado road trip late afternoon Sunday. It’s now Tuesday. That’s what happens. And.. if I don’t take the time To reflect reflected on our trip, it will start to slip away… At the very least, I’d like to capture the highlights so I don’t forget them. Pictures are worth a…

    2020-06-27 Take Back the City Tour: Day 🤷‍♀️ Health Check

    Somewhere along the way I’ve gotten messed up on what day it is. That happens when you miss accounting some days and double up on others. What I have been keeping track of on my handy-dandy paper calendar is the following: What my Lorazepam dose is What week it is in my plan to come…

    2020-06-26 Take Back the City Tour: Day 12.944 – Enjoying the Moment

    Today is almost over. The more time my daughter and I spend alone together, the more we come to understand each other better. I mean, we live together but sometimes, we are too busy just getting through each day that we don’t even really talk and that’s a shame. Tonight she told me she was…

    My daughter and I have different styles for vacations and road trips. Or perhaps years of experience has shaped my style into being more rigid and regimented. At this juncture, I think it’s important to note that sometimes life is better when you let go of what you have learned and just accept the day…

    2020-06-25 Take Back the City Tour: Day 9 and 10 – Look!.. A Llama

    What do llamas and road trips across Nebraska have in common?… They are both great at injecting interest into a story. Yesterday was a mighty long, but satisfying day. I woke up in my own bed as usual and did the morning routine but there was no time for the treadmill as I had to…

    2020-06-13 Rejections, connections, and Strawberry Pie 🍓🥧❤️

    I’ve had a few communications with folks lately about rejection. Anytime you take a risk and put yourself out there and pin hopes on someone else’s reaction, you are subjecting yourself to the possibility of rejection. I’ve got two specific instances to share with new insights. In this not-so-new-anymore world of electronic communications, a person…

    2020-06-01 What other choice do I have?

    A friend of mine texted me out of the blue to ask how I was doing. I said I’m OK, but that I think it’s “the end of days” going on right now. I’m not sure if this hellfire of strangeness is biblical, but it sure feels like it. It would be just like the…

    2020-05-23 Laundry Day 🐱

    Yesterday was the worst day I’ve had in a long time. I was on such an emotional edge almost all day and barely made it through all the things I had to do. I participated in an early meeting with a client in which my only responsibility was to take notes and have my brain…
