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

Walk, Don’t Walk, Duck!
Whenever someone says to me “I have a weird question,” I always interrupt and tell them that I hope they don’t disappoint me. If you say it’s going to be weird, please let it be so. Now that I’ve preset you for weirdness, let me tell you what happened yesterday during my run... I was … Continue reading Walk, Don’t Walk, Duck!

My excitement for travel remains undiminished. February 2018 is the month in which one of my sons becomes an “adult” … Continue reading A few brief thoughts early in a short month
Handing things over to you
Despite Monday feeling colder than the thermometer claimed, after school I grabbed Jeter and headed to the golf course for a walk. It is my goal, you know, to give him the best life a dog has ever known and he needed the exercise. We were greeted by a small herd of dogs, with labradors … Continue reading Handing things over to you
