One of 13’s current favorites…”I had some help …” Not sure why it’s a favorite, but I’m in, whatever gets me closer, whatever helps me understand his current state…and always up for a good tune, Stay current, GOOD.

Dad‘s Life: Small Moves
That rings very true to me, small moves, adapting, prepping, priming, My son, Autistic Level 1, attending a local tennis camp and the courts, I played there some 50 years ago…whatever for me, him too, important for him to see things and be ready a bit, Funny, I have no autism diagnosis but I’ve always …
Looking Back On Dad’s Day
A day of service , that’s what it amounted to; and struggle to find the joy, but I did, Spicy poke early, morning groceries run, dishes and laundry, chauffeur service for different kids at different times, World Cup when I could get it, indulgence with a couple three slices of pizza, some cuddle hug time …
Sepia … Ah…What…?
Least they can do, playing this silly Wordle game for a year or so, ups and downs, some mod streaks, one continued on recently with this word… S – E – P – I – A … Never heard of this word, but somehow got it on the last try six out of six… Bottom …

This first round, there’s four games a day, not every day, but certainly during work days. It’s fun to check the scores anyway, to see how teams are doing. …

Forgiveness
If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be and why? If I could master one skill instantly, it would be forgiveness. I’ve spent more than five decades, trying to be better at forgiveness. I’m a lot better than I used to be, maybe except for myself, I firmly believe that, if we …
WorldCup2026 Dispatch: Schlotterbeck’s Spark, Curaçao’s First, And So Much More
Germany’s first game, matched up with Curaçao; seemed to be an obvious advantage; the German Side, perennial contenders; and Curaçao? The smallest country ever to qualify for the World Cup. Good for them, but modest expectations at best. Germany scored first; then soon after Curaçao’s answered. It seemed competitive. Until it wasn’t. Germany went ahead …

Missed
I missed. No matter. Intent on posting n this blog every day. Keeps me grounded. Honestly the chops a bit. But sometimes, like yesterday, I accidentally post two in one day. Chops still in tact. If not the streak. No matter. Keep writing. Good.
