The Last Few Days, In A Nutshell(A Large Nutshell)

It’s been a busy last few days. Where to begin… Last we spoke it was Valentine’s Day. My wife and I had a nice evening out. We headed to the little big town of Wabash, Indiana and enjoyed a very lovely dinner at Ninja Express. It’s a good thing we’re more concerned about the food […]

Sub-Zero Blues And Stack Of Records

We’re now well over halfway thru January, 2024. It feels like we barely got through the holidays and now we’re looking down the barrel of February. Valentines, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July,…repeat. The next thing you know I’ll be 65-years old sitting in my chair and wondering what I made with my life. A […]

50, or: 10 Years Since A Lost Time Accident

Why hello. How are you? How’s it going? It’s been a minute since I checked in here. A couple weeks, to be exact. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, what with Thanksgiving, a family-wide illness, and the big 5-0 which I turned on December 2nd. Maybe not action packed, but it’s been packed. Where […]

Cemetery Walk, Olivia Rodrigo, and Feeling The Feels

I was still feeling sore today. Not enough to stop me from being active, but enough for my brain to talk me out of being active(damn you, brain.) Still, common sense and the need for some quality sunshine prevailed over ‘Lazy John’ and his whispers of “nah, just go home”. I headed to the Beyer […]

November Walk

Not much to report. After work yesterday I got a 3 mile walk in. I hit up the Chinworth Bridge Trail, which is just a couple minutes from work, and took a very windy walk. The temps are bouncing up and down here, so the wind is to be expected I suppose. It was in […]

Summer’s Almost Gone(rejoice)

I’m not a summer person. I enjoy moments of it; individual afternoons, or perhaps a warm Saturday afternoon walk with my wife in town talking about her job. Or grabbing tomatoes and jalapenos from the farmer’s stand for fresh salsa. Farmer’s stands, that’s one of the few reasons I enjoy summer. Nothing better that fresh […]

Kids and Adults and Itchy Dogs, Oh My!

It’s been an interesting couple weeks. Interesting as in sometimes not so great and sometimes just it is what it is. A couple weekends ago my good friend and nearly quarter century work pal had a get-together at his place. It was a celebration of the fact that he is officially cancer-free. He spent January […]

Lost In The Woods : Brown County In Summation

For 48 hours one of my best pals and I spent a weekend in Central Indiana among trees, secluded cabins, tourists, bikers, hikers, joggers, and a cast of quirky characters. We rented a place outside of Nashville so we could spend our days hiking trails in two state parks, and our nights chilling out at […]

The Weekend, Work Wear, And We’re Not The Party Animals We Used To Be

It’s been a long week. There were a couple days at work where we struggled to be busy for even half the day. Now I’m not opposed to slacking off for a day and getting paid to sit at my desk, read up on world news online, and wait for someone to ring the door […]

A Very Loud, Quiet House

I took last Friday off from work. Felt I needed a day away from that place and its mild mania. Felt I needed a day to myself at home listening to music, working on something creative, shampooing the carpets…anything but being at work. These last 9, almost 10 weeks of nonstop motion and movement at […]
