I have spoken of my love of sports. I have spoken of how sports and my brain and my life intersect. I’ve also spoken of my recently found fondness of Liverpool Football Club (LFC). I have also spoken of my current inability to watch Warrior games in full. There is something that occurs in meContinue reading “We Go Again”

It’s been quite a week. I’ve been out for a walk at least once a day. Some days I’m headed somewhere specific, sometimes I’m just going. For example, today I went out 3 times. The first outing was to take Dug for a walk, plus there’s a bakery nearby that keeps promising that they areContinue reading “All the Reasons for an Out and About”

This post is a rant. Yes, it is that. And I hope a bit more. The photo above was taken at the end our breakfast this AM at Who Dat Coffee Cafe. Two specifics about it form the context of this Rant. Notice the sign board “advertising” their help wanted condition. This is a fundamentalContinue reading “Baby Boomers . . . DAMN!”

JDT loves to be spontaneous. I’m best when I have a plan. Last night (I’m always energy best in the morning and it’s just a question of how empty the tank is at the end of the day) JDT was rattling off things still to do as we neared one week left.

And for those others, I can only say, I am sorry and I hope you’ll tolerate me as I continue to emote. I have two older brothers – Mike and Steve.Continue reading “For Me, It Always Seems To Be Two”

AND there was really no way, in my mind, to language around theIr magnitude. Large epiphany? RelativelyContinue reading “Learning . . . Forever”

Coming to NOLA I was so curious and excited to explore and that included doing something JDT and I love to do, EAT! I really wanted to explore from fine ding to truly hole in the wall dives. From traditional NOLA fare to the edges of other cuisines. From the well established to the newContinue reading “And Then There is This”

I’ve “stolen” the above from John T. Edge. Stealing is one of my best, most creative attributes. John T. Edge is an educator, a learner, a lifelong seeker of meaning. I was introduced to him watching his wonderful show – True South. He is the personality of the show. The host. The narrator. The guide.Continue reading “Forward (to Mom)”

What a week. Aging sucks and yet it’s much better than the alternative…at least so they say. One day this week I got a call telling me that my 95 and 3/4 year old mom is starting to slip. Sheesh. Given her age…what would we expect? And yet…So I went into hyper-drive making arrangements forContinue reading “The Lion King – Best Movie Ever”
