A through line for my life, trying to catch the ball. Playing catch, tennis ball, then baseball, then football, and basketball. Especially baseball and football. Never played organized baseball, but loved playing catch with my dad. Then football. I often played catch with my buddy, the quarterback for our team when we both played high …

Spool Up, Down
I think I do this too much, allow spool up of activities too close to bedtime, Then expect an easy spool down? Not so easy. It’s on me, the dad, the adult, the parent in the house, Don’t intend the Up so much, but certainly expect the down on command, Not realistic, No excuses, Just …

I Love Brazil
Home of the great Pele’, Democracy, Mixed race society, Music fans sell out multiple stadium shows for Canadian Progressive Rock Band, RUSH, And ALSO (more predictably?), Multiple Maroon 5 stadium shows sold out as well, Damn if that’s not a diverse musical palette’… GOOD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil?wprov=sfti1#
Sleep Well, I Love You
Something I endeavor to say to my kids every night. True desire, wish for each of them is, Sleep (be) well. I love you. I’m kinda strict with them sometimes. Maybe not traditional strict; I let them do their thing pretty freely; but when it’s time for action (a meal, shower, bed time), I expect …

Edge Up
Just an edge up, Symphony 36, Cut quickly, little time for precision or ponder, Mozart on the fly, Don’t we all do it on the fly sometimes…? Let it be so, and in the end, GOOD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._36_(Mozart)?wprov=sfti1
Everything Hurts
I recently saw a black tee-shirt on Instagram that said in big white letters, “Everything Hurts.” Everything hurts. That’s a bit of hyperbole, but you get the idea. As I get older it seems like the life aches and pains don’t much wane these days. Seems like the sore shoulders and creaky knees seem to …
Lions Work
A theme visited before on this blog…but since Lions Work — helping others — never ends, another installment, if you please… Helped with some loading / unloading today of tables and chairs for a charity event, one our club has supported for a few years, since it’s inception. It was maybe three hours work total, …
No Part Numbers
No part numbers on the weekend… Seems like a good mantra, Deep in those numbers plenty five days a week, So much guided and defined by those numbers as names of things, So much more to manufacturing and operations and business than those numbers, Yet if they’re not used, referenced, that fundamental starting point, Slows …
