Cross The Street
Many metaphors for the same, dealing with change, the cliché goes, and wisely, nothing is constant in this world, but for change. There are big changes and little changes and changes in between, but the common thread is for everyone, change happens to everyone. And so I’ll pull another metaphor in, don’t be afraid to …
How Long?
“Juneteenth” , a US Federal Holiday? Since when? Four years now since this day - 19 June - was designated so, a formal holiday to remember and commemorate the day in 1865 when all enslaved people were declared free, emancipated, released and no longer subject to bondage, to slavery. It’s been 160 years since that …
Sequence: Gen Tweener
Here’s how it went the other night. Pushing two of my three kids to take showers before 730p, because their other sibling will be home late from dance practice and need to shower. And everyone needs to be lights out by 900p, because it’s early rise tomorrow for drop off to their mom. 655p: Last …

In The Moment

Brakes
Threw on the brakes, had to, stamp the pedal hard.
