Walk In The Snow
I never told my kids that when I was a kid I had to walk twenty miles in the snow to get to school, the old generational lament that the younger generation had it easy, but I did brag how different it was without modern technology. They were amazed to learn of a world without… Continue reading

Not Looking
This is a tough question. Years of societal training tell me not to boast. And I’m a perfectionist. I always think I can do better so I never praise what I do. So, when I pay attention, I don’t what I am doing is good. I’m best when I am not watching. Once I was… Continue reading

Not Money
It’s a paradox, that money doesn’t buy happiness, but life is much harder without any financial resources. I once heard a yoga teacher ask, would we choose a million dollars if getting it meant only one more day of life? His point was that health is everything. I am blessed. I have a supportive and… Continue reading

Nancy
I have an aunt who is not doing well. She lives in another state and it’s hard to get there, but I want to see her before it’s too late. I also had wanted to see my uncle but he passed away (a year ago) before I had a chance. My aunt kept me sane… Continue reading

I think about his influence because I wish I had a powerful legacy from him, footsteps to follow. I spent much of my early… Continue reading

Aches and Pains
I grew up loving the cold weather. My family had a retail sports shop and were big skiers. Some of my best memories are going on winter trips with my aunt and uncle. When my kids were old enough, we had loads of fun in the snow. I would make huge snow slides or forts.… Continue reading

Blur
When my kids were young, I was a stay-at-home Dad. My work space was home. Now that they’re grown up, I still work at home. When I worked in an office, the distinctions were still blurry, except when I was at the office, I only worked … like a dog. When I was at home,… Continue reading

Birthday Suit
This question struck me funny. I’m wearing nothing that is as old as me. My clothes are almost new to a few years old at best. That happens when my belly outgrows my pants or my wife makes me throw out my comfy shirts with the armpit holes. I have a bad habit of not… Continue reading
