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: …

Everyone has things to be thankful for, everyone should have the opportunity to feast a little for the holiday.Everyone has things to be thankful for, everyone should …
Easy Does It
Got some work to do this weekend. Easy does it. None too happy about going into work on a Saturday, but that’s just how things are right now: short-handed; several challenges across the business. Easy does it. Once I decided and accepted I was going to work for a few hours over the weekend, well, …
