  • Once Choice

    You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? I am too old to go by bike, too impatient to go by bus or train, and too nervous to fly on a plane. So, I guess I will take a car, unless they change the national speed limit to 55 mph. Then,… Continue reading

  • Perfectionist

    How would you rate your confidence level? My confidence level is middle level at best. This is not based on what I have accomplished or my skills, but on my perfectionist attitude that is never satisfied with my output. I can always do better. I could do better with this blog post too! Augh. Continue reading

  • Everything

    What makes you most anxious? When I am doing something new, I’m crazy with anxiety. There are too many unknowns and too much not in my control. Since Covid, I have anxiety every time I leave my house. It’s not the disease anymore, I have grown accustom to the predictability of my home environment. I… Continue reading

  • Right Brain

    What activities do you lose yourself in? Often I lose myself in my writing. Some days I have so many ideas, I can’t write fast enough to put them to paper. Sometimes I wake in the night and stories are in my head. I can’t get back to sleep until I write them down. When… Continue reading

  • Multi-Legged

    What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? The question makes me think of my mother who had favorite books that she read multiple times during her life, specifically Gone With The Wind. I can’t think of many shows I have watched that much. For a post-binge-watch guy, 5 times seems… Continue reading

  • Not Me

    Are you superstitious? Friday the 13th is just another day for me, except I don’t take any big risks that day or leave my house or use any sharp tools. I don’t speak ill of the dead because they might be watching. I never pick up a penny with tails up and I pray before… Continue reading

  • The Bear

    Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Bears hibernate in caves and dig deep. Since I became a stay-at-home Dad, I stay mostly at home. Sequestering during Covid was not a change for me. With too much time on my hands, I do intense self-reflection, to the point I drive my wife nuts.… Continue reading

  • Wellness

    Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Hey old man, how is your back? Can you move? Do your shoulders, back and hands still hurt? Do you still repeat yourself and annoy your kids? Are you still writing your blog? Continue reading

  • Books

    Where would you go on a shopping spree? When I was younger, probably Home Depot to stock up on gadgets and wood, but now, because my hands and joints are soar, the Art store or a bookstore. I already have too many books to read, but I never get tired of stocking up on canvas… Continue reading

  • Breaking Tradition

    What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance? My middle name is my mother’s maiden name. It was a tradition in my family to give the first born son his mother’s maiden name, or that is what I was told. It turns out that my father was the first one, and I… Continue reading
