I started May writing a post about creativity. Here we are into the final week of the month and that’s the only post that I’ve written so far. But it has been a very creative month! I’ve spent my creativity in other areas than blog post writing. It’s been a great month for my playwriting.…
In February, I said that my word for the Year of the Groon 63 was “create”. I’m a couple of months into Groon 63 and it’s been going well. As usual, I was a bit slow getting started with my creating. But by mid-March, I had a rhythm going of writing 100 words a day…
Sometimes I get mad at myself because I don’t write as much as I think I should. I don’t reach out to the people I want to touch base with. I don’t read the books I buy or take out from the library. I don’t exercise when I know I should. So many things I…
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 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 discovered that being creative is like exercise. If you stop doing it regularly, you’ll soon stop doing it at all. Last year, I was shooting to write 365 blog posts. After reaching that goal, I decided to cut back and write 52 posts for the rest of this year. Guess how many posts I’ve…
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…
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.…
