“Nature finds a way.” This line from Jurassic Park rings true for me. We humans, like most all of the 7.8 billion on the planet, don’t think much day-to-day about the natural world around us. I don’t say this to disparage; life is busy and hard often times, so we likely are distracted a lot …

Scenes from the Week
New week, new beginnings, new attitude, reset each day. New-found Joy: Cards with the Kids Early at work, Saturday Grateful for the Likes New pathways Ketchup did well this week Active Saturday, good end to the week
Ketchup
Funny word, ketchup. Tomato-based sauce used around the world. And then there’s its alternate, catsup. Different word, same meaning. Then there’s “catch-up” - as in being behind, then catching up with others, or the target quantity, or similar. Today is Saturday, but I’m at work for a few hours to catch-up. More work than hours …
Sounds I Like
There are a lot of sounds I like; they make me happy; I can’t really explain why. Sounds like... The ice maker dropping ice; The neighbor’s car starting in the pre-dawn hours; The heater running in the garage; The kids’ quieting down to a whisper; The rattle of scooping whole coffee beans into the grinder; …
Lyrics Post: “The Three R’s”
Good tune, good lyric, good message... Do the math, teach your kids, do the same. "The 3 R's" Three it's a magic numberYes it is, it's a magic numberBecause two times three is sixAnd three times six is eighteenAnd the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is R We've got three R's we're going to talk …
Super Power?
What if what you thought was your greatest liability actually your super power instead? I think that’s it. That’s the post. Think about it. #halffullallgood
Access for All
This catch-phrase might seem pie-in-the-sky. Surely not everyone can be on the same footing, have the same access to resources. Maybe not. But part of the American (global?) society I believe in and strive to move forward is in basic areas, there should be access for all. Clean water. Sanitation. Healthy food sources. Basic education. …
2/5 3rd, 1/5 4th Quarters Break
Sunday Night Football. As a kid I watched a lot of football. I like the game. I like watching, too. But so many other things have rushed to the fore over the years, decades, I don’t watch so much. Just not the time. But Sunday night I tried to watch. Tried for a bit. Tried …
GOOD: Misc.
Sometimes a few images say a lot. Here’s a recap of recent times in my neck of the woods. More time here lately. More of this lately. Early Time, Dogs Walk, Good Starts Super Food. Work Bag, On-site or WFH. Lions Activities Providing Some Balance. More time in front of screen, less active. Today? A …
Gradual, Acceptance
Gradually it gets easier. Maybe that's big picture conventional wisdom. Over time, if you stay at something, you're bound to get better; the work is bound to get easier. Not sure about timelines; it depends on the topic, the matter at hand, the activities you're engaged in, the skills you're developing. There's the "10,000 hour …
