The Power of Choice

Good evening, While I would desperately like to be sleeping right now, my mind is racing.

Learning Experiences

Hello late afternoon from NYC, I am waiting to meet someone and have dinner and thought I should be productive rather than merely sit and surf or do nothing. It also makes time pass more rapidly.

Wondering what she really thinks?

Fortunately last night it was only a paragraph or so. IContinue reading “Unexpected – Safe Harbors”

Wondering How and When

Good morning, While I woke up at my usual early time, I did not get up as soon after awakening as I often do. I finished on night out on my porch and must have fallen asleep in one of the rocking chairs. It seems I must be one of the more elderly members ofContinue reading “Wondering How and When”

41 Years and a Walking Oxymoron

Good evening, good morning, good next day, I am sitting in my study after a day of working on cars and bikes and doing some cleaning, a day of planting and working in the yard, and a day of washing clothes, some planned and some unplanned. While I was up pretty early, that is theContinue reading “41 Years and a Walking Oxymoron”
