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 …
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 …
Go Fish
A game from the past. Brought to present. These two love it. “The dining table light shines down like even Heaven approves of this timeless card game” Simple. Fun. Interaction. No screens. Bonus. Matching cards. Counting. Friendly banter. Over and over. Go Fish. Thankful for this holiday weekend and some extra time to be a …
