I’ve been on a Rolling Stones kick recently. Maybe it was that tribute band I went to see a couple of weeks ago at The Hangar. I listened to them all the way on my run today from home to Troy, where I met my neighbor at event and caught a ride home. It wasn’t … Continue reading Processing

Five for Friday
Why do people sit parked in their vehicles with the engine running and the windows completely closed on a gorgeous evening? Why not open the windows? Turn the car off? Perhaps even get out of the car? Personally, I crave fresh air and consider it to be a necessary part of my day. Try it. … Continue reading Five for Friday
Mother’s Day moments, 2018
We’re not really big on Hallmark holidays, but I do indulge in playing the Mother’s Day card once a year.

Man, I am hurting, but, … Continue reading Seven Sisters Trail Race – 2018 edition

How do you personally define a day as “well-lived?” Is it measurable in some way? Is there a consistency in the components that come together to combine … Continue reading Questions about a well-lived life
Do something that scares you
Yesterday I did something that scared me. And then I did it again. And again and again for a total of four times. The first time I did it, I was slightly less frightened than I had been on the chairlift. I don’t like heights. Actually riding the chairlift made getting on and off the … Continue reading Do something that scares you
