I spend a lot of my time having conversations in my head. Deb will often look over at me and say, “Who are you talking to?” I’m not on the phone or speaking out loud. But she can tell that I’m carrying on a conversation in my head. I have done that ever since I…
We’ve got two weeks to be off book for Things I Know to be True. It’s that awkward time where you need your script in your hand. But the script hinders your movement around the stage. There’s line learning and movement learning. And I’ve been a bit lax. I’ve got rehearsals on Sundays, Tuesdays, and…
The mother of a friend of mine passed away recently. This was the first significant death that my friend had experienced. They knew people that had died. But this was the first death of someone they loved. Someone they cared deeply for. And it shook them. They are in their late sixties and had never…
Last week, I made a list of some of the books I want to read this year. And right away, I started listening to book that wasn’t on the list. Great by Choice by Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen. I first listened to this book in 2011. And I’ve listened to it a few…

I’m getting close to the final stretch of my 365 blog posts. I only need 37 more posts to reach it. There have been some stumbles. Some dry patches. But I’m still going. It’s more like a marathon than I realized. You start off full of energy and hopeful. As you get further along you…
The Around the Bay 2025 Road Race is three weeks from Sunday. There’s still time for training. I haven’t done as much as I wanted. Surprise, surprise. But I’ve done more than I did last year. Even though I’ve run the distance many times, my main goal is to finish. 30 kilometers is a challenging…
When things are really dark, the bright lights around us stand out more. Let’s all try to be bright lights. The dark can’t last forever.
In January, I told myself that I would try to read 26 books in 2025. A book every two weeks. I haven’t read any yet. Now, that I’ve started my personal New Year, I figured that I should try to get moving on that goal. The thing is that “reading 26 books” or “reading a…
I’m annoyed with myself. Spoiler alert: My weight went up again in February. Not a lot. But it went up. I’m annoyed because I was on track to go down in weight. For the first three weeks of the month. I was on track. But in the last week, I messed up. I messed up…
