I’m somewhat in disbelief that I’m sporting a short hard cast on my leg. No accident, just a congenital problem with an Achilles tendon being too short. Most of my life, I’ve been fairly athletic playing most sports through high school and later on playing football. I used to have a thirty-six-inch vertical jump, so…
No less than my fourth major surgery in fifteen years, and I’m not sure I feel any better for it, but on the other hand one would have to wonder how messed up I’d be without them. There could have been a fifth, but the doctor said it wasn’t worth the trouble and instead I…
Or the lack of. I don’t seem to have as much as I used too. I was much better at dividing the smaller things from the bigger things and as the old saying goes, don’t sweat the little stuff. Except, these days I seem to sweat small, large, inconsequential, or consequential. I fret and worry…
As you know from many posts, I’m an island person. It has to do with my personality type, as my cousin likes to remind me of the Meyers Briggs test result of INTJ. I’ve taken other tests that support this and one of the strongest factors of myself is I generally don’t put up with…
On the day after the government and the US Air Force announced Ashli Babbitt will be granted full military funeral honors, I reflect and wonder what the hell did I serve this country for. A slap in the face for those of us that served our country without participating in an insurrection because some asshole…
We’re finally home. It seems like we’ve been gone for several months. I think we put something like seventy-six hundred miles on the odometer. Nearly a years’ worth of driving per our insurances yearly estimates. My butt feels every mile of it but the other problem with travel is eating very rich foods. Not necessarily…
I haven’t been anywhere lately. I’ve been working on health, projects, and mindset. I spent a period of my early twenties not focusing and feeling overwhelmed with everything in my life. I was able to resolve that for near forty years, but here I am in my mid-sixties, and I’m face to face with it…
Throughout our lives, we come to many crossroads having to make decisions on which path we’ll take. These decisions are based on one single factor although we make lists of pros and cons, it really comes down to risk tolerance. We decide whether the risk factor fits into our current assessment of life. Most of…
A few weeks ago, from out of the blue, I contracted double pneumonia. No lead in symptoms other than maybe a little drainage, but I went from feeling pretty good to cold chills in an hours’ time. The next day, I had a teledoc appointment and was prescribed an antibiotic for a possible sinus infection….
We’re in the midst of the first hundred days Trump Ver.2.0. Most of us, correction, probably everyone is flabbergasted at the seemingly illegal use of Executive Orders and yet so many, in an effort to justify their vote, are making excuses for the chaotic effort by this administration. The do-nothing Congress has pushed all of…
