My grandpa was the first one I knew who got up early. He rose around 5am most mornings. I never understood, as a kid. I LOVE to sleep. But now I have little kids. Plenty of early mornings on that front; at least used to be. And now with work (mostly), it's up earlier and …

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; …

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 …
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 …
