2024-10-30 Highlights from a Very Remote Nebraska Vacay
Where was I? Where was I before? And where have I been since then? As I alluded to yesterday, being laid up on my ass for two months was a little bit depressing. In truth, though, it’s not like I was immobile, I just couldn’t work out or do anything too physically taxing. I could…

2024-06-17 T-Minus Three Days…
Three days. Just 3!! THREE DAYS till my daughter leaves for an internship in India and I’m absolutely freaking out. I feel confident she’s in good hands and good company but that in no way alleviates my worry and anxiety. I’ve known this has been coming for months, but denial has been on my side,…

2023-03-08 My Mind is Made Up…
Last week I did something I haven’t done in years. I wrote something that I decided from the start would never see the light of any day. Just me, my thoughts, and my fingers tippity-typing on the keyboard to get it all out. From one angle it was an experiment to see if I still…

2023-02-06 To Costa Rica and Back With Love ❤️🌴🌺
I’ve started this post a few times now… first in the airport eight days ago and then again a few days later from the gym at the resort I was staying at. A beautiful place that lends itself more to passing hours relaxing and forgetting about the ins and outs of the day than it…
