2020 Gratitudes
This year saw so many changes for me, from going back to work to the last of my old dogs dying to moving three states away to live down the street from my (our) daughter and her family. There was still much to be grateful for.

2016 Word – Hustle
In the early part of 2016, I used One Word to frame the year and my intentions. The word that chose me was “hustle” after I’d done Jon Acuff’s “30 Days of Hustle” in January. Although I’d initially picked something else as my word, it became apparent that was to be my word this year. I…
Enjoying The Nice Weather
Our weather continues to be unseasonably moderate. It’s been reasonable temperatures – only in the upper 70’s – and low humidity for the most part.

These were co-workers where I worked for nearly ten years before the company had financial difficulties, got sold, and everybody was gone. Here we were moments before leaving to go to a Cubs game for the afternoon, a…
Based On the Richter Scale – Moderate
Tuesday had a few scary moments when the earthquake occurred in Virginia. I was at work, about forty miles from the epicenter. Based on the Richter scale, it was a moderate earthquake which is defined in Wikipedia as: Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions.
