Last month Deb and I joined a gym. Again. We belonged to one before COVID. And after COVID, we never went back. But we’re getting to an age where we need to be in shape so that we can stay healthy. Not only for our kids, but for our grandkids. Deb has a trainer to…
I’ve just finished my first week of being 63. The body is getting older but my spirit still feels young. It continues to be strange reconciling my mental image with my physical reality. This week, a cashier gave me the senior discount without even asking. They looked at me and applied it. I’m not sixty-five…
Hard to believe that it’s the last day of my year. Tomorrow, I turn 63. A lot of milestones for me in Groon 62. (Groon 62 = Feb. 22, 2025 to Feb. 21, 2026) The best one? Our first grandchildren were born in Groon 62. Both were in December. Atlas and Helena. About three weeks…
My last post about my weight-loss journey was about doing the WildFit challenge. Following the program helped the pounds fall off. Within 3 months, I lost over 10 lbs. And I was eating more food. I wasn’t fasting. But, of course, once I stopped following the WildFit way, the pounds came back. It’s not that…
My son sent us a message at 6:37 a.m. MST on Messenger. They’re two hours behind us, so it was 8:37 a.m. for us. The message? “It’s go time!” Keaton and Kate’s due date was December 13, but their baby decided December 3 was the day. Three hours later, at 9:29 a.m. MST, Atlas was…
I noticed a cup in our cupboard this morning. It has a photo on it that’s faded to near invisibility. But you can still make out the words on the other side. It was a cup I had made for Deb one Mother’s Day long ago. I don’t usually think of these things ahead of…
AI is everywhere these days. You see it in social media posts. And internet memes. Soon we won’t be able to believe anything that we see online! But is AI bad? It’s a tool. And it’s the wielder of the tool that decides to use it for good or bad. Seth Godin has mentioned in…
This is the second year in a row that Deb has been out of town on her birthday. Happy birthday, my dear. The other day, I was in her office and saw this photo from when she was directing A Christmas Carol. I love this picture! (I’m sorry but I forgot who took it) It…
We have two more performances of Things I Know to be True. It’s always weird when a show is coming to the end of the run. We’ve spent weeks working on this show. Rehearsals started in February, but we met as a cast before that. It feels like we’ve been working on it much longer.…
This is the start of Tech Week for us actors. In the Dundas Little Theatre show Things I Know to be True. For the crew, Tech Week began yesterday. The culmination of Tech Week is Opening Night. This Friday. When paying patrons come and see our show. Gulp! That thing that seemed so far away…
