Dad and I had a good conversation this morning over coffee due to a couple of noteworthy news items over the last couple of days. Later in the morning Jen and I had another discussion about the same thing with a slightly different outcome. The difference in discussion is a reflection of what I feel…
So, what do you write about when you have nothing to say? I suppose I always have an opinion, but nothing in the news is catching my attention and trying to occupying my brain. We have elections coming up later in the year, the January 6 commission seemingly is wreaking havoc on the Trump allegiant,…
As many know, Jen and I spent the second half of 2021 fully engaged in a total transformation of our grounds and recapturing a game room by converting the garage. We literally no sooner had the last landscaper leave as we had kids show up for Christmas week. Whew, and what a week it was….
Weird way of putting things, but it is how I feel. We are on the last leg of the landscape project and it is certainly winding down. I, on the other hand am winding up to the things that lie before me. I felt that after doing the largest project, both in scope and cost,…

My Dad and I were recently talking about some recent studies that suggested that if you don’t get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep a night that you increase your risk of early death by eighty percent. Wow, I can’t remember the last time I got eight hours of sleep in a night, much less uninterrupted….
How many times have you been stopped at a red light; the light turns green and the car in front of you just sits there? On this trip, it has happened no less than 10 times. You honk your horn; the persons head pops up and they accelerate hoping to make up for their mistake….
