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 …
Grinder
A Grinder is person that doesn't give up. A Grinder just keeps at it, no matter the failures, the struggles, the obstacles that present themselves. It's hard to be a Grinder. On my best days I think of myself in this way. Actually, that's not true. On some of my worst days I think I'm …

Silly Dad…
Silly Dad, you thought burnt broccoli was a good idea as the veggie for dinner! But we had it in the fridge, it expires (whatever that means) in a few days, and SOMETIMES it’s a hit. And I suppose it was, to a point. 3/5 of the house ate it. And it was quick. Broiler …
Chase
All day long, day after day, sometimes that’s how it feels: chase. Long lists made longer by hundreds of email, how can that be? Feels like more to do every moment: chase. Dishes and laundry and honey-do: chase. Dream of a race, gun goes off, I can’t run fast enough, slow off the line, sloth-like: …
Dark and Light
Like each day, this year, dark and light. Just when the darkness seems endless, a glimmer in the distance, hope. Faith helps. Sometimes. Other times not so; much too much it seems all the struggle and challenge and unexpected twists. Run through, stay true, to the path, the course, the way. The Way, and they …
Courage, Strength, Trust
These traits emerge anew. Found in words from Psalm 33. I discovered the verse via my cousin who lives in western New York. I think I need to read the whole psalm; thanks for the inspiration, cuz. “Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.” - Psalm 33:20. So simple; …
Story Telling
Do you like to tell stories? Like to listen to them? Both? Listening to my daughter tell a story recently, it occurred to me... If you’re a parent, listening to stories is a key skill for the vocation. The more you listen to your kids, the more stories they tell, the more you learn about …
