The month is half over. And if things continue to go the way they are heading, it should be a good month. Weight-wise, that is. I’m doing what I was doing last month. Intermittent Fasting until 5pm on weekdays. And eating normally on weekends. And I’m trying to get to bed on time. There’s never…
My daughter just got a car. A used car. A friend of ours was selling their car. And Tara will need one for work. The timing was good. We’ve been juggling 2 cars with 3 people. Most of the time it’s fine. But it was inconvenient every now and then. Now, she will have real…
Number three on my list of thirty things to do in the next five years is to see the Northern Lights. The Aurora Borealis. I thought my chances were pretty good when we went to northern British Columbia. To visit my son and his girlfriend. But we didn’t see the northern lights. I was disappointed.…
On Mother’s Day, I usually write about my wife. The mother of my children. I don’t often write about my mother. Bernadette Kelly was a great mom. I called her Mommy. It felt weird to call her “mom”, though. Too short. She was always “mommy”. My earliest memory of her is when I’m about four…
One of the things I love the most about my wife, Deb, is her maternal instincts. She has always had them. It was the epiphany that she would be a great mother some day, that made me see her in a new light almost forty years ago. One of her qualities that made me love…
Typically, when we are setting goals, we try to pick something that’s hard to reach. You want to do something you’ve never done before. Or when you get to a certain level, you pick the next level to get to. You “raise the bar”. The problem with raising the bar is that you are shooting…
It’s been almost two weeks since I enabled the timer on my phone. To limit the amount of time that I use Facebook and Instagram. 30 minutes a day. I had intended to allow myself 30 minutes each for FB and Insta. But it gave me 30 minutes for both. And you know what? I’m…
One of the biggest temptations for me is Food FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. If someone brings in a treat, I want to have some. It’s easy to justify the indulgence. Just this once… The problem is that there’s always something that provokes the FOMO reaction. Two for one Teen Burgers! Free pizza! Homemade brownies!…
Burn opens in three and a half weeks. We’ve got ten more rehearsals to go. It may seem like a lot, but it will go by quickly. On the plus side, the actors know most of their lines. I’m the laggard in the cast. But I’m nearly there. The lines are coming. Slowly. There are…
Darn it! Why do I give into temptation so easily? The plan was to work on my lines and my songs. But the TV beckoned. I’d watch a little bit and hang out with my daughter. And then there was the Zoom call at 8:30. I was hanging out with my friends. Now, it’s after…
