  • 2018-05-21 Monday Again ☮️💟☯️

    Whoa.. the gym is teeming with teenagers this morning. It’s finals week at the HS and this is where they go for their PE final. Luckily, when I walked in my machine was still open. Then I had not one but two dudes come over and talk to me. One was a guy I graduated…

  • 2018-05-20 The “Other” Sunday Status

    This time I’m not looking at the last week or even the last month. I’m glancing back over my left shoulder at one year ago. One year ago today I asked my boss for a sabbatical. The day after that I broke into tears over my failed relationship because I happened to see Orion’s Belt…

  • 2018-05-20 Long Lost Sunday Status Update

    Let’s see.. its been a few weeks since I did a proper Sunday Status. It’s kind of a broken record thing anyway but here goes… Exercise: Average 17k steps for the week. I’m hovering right around 14.5 k for the past month and 15k for the past 3 months and 16k so far this year.…

  • 2018-05-17 Grumpy Old Men

    There’s just something about life that makes grumpy old men. They may once have been happy and hopeful and full of optimism but life wears on a person like water crashing on a beach. It’s a combination of myltiple factors I think. The first is just, you know, that hope being squeezed out by a…

  • 2018-05-16 Short Slide Into Summer

    It’s Hump-T-Hump day again and were also over the hump of the month of May and now we’re on the downhill slide toward June. I broke down and turned my air conditioning on last night. First time of the season. That’s the measure of how long Spring is in the Midwest… how long you can…

  • 2018-05-15 Where are My Sunnies? 😎

    So I wrote this blog post on Sunday which I realize now I never posted. It was a rant about Mother’s Day. It was kind of a mix of hating on the day for being another one of those made up holidays and an eye roll worthy commentary on my own mother sharing her personal…
