Fall in love with being alive
I could draw for as long as I can remember. I don’t know if this is because I was gifted with some innate talent or if one day someone told me I drew well and I just took it so much to heart that I drew incessantly and so eventually was able to do it […]
It’s been 70 degrees every day for a week. And sunny. And it’s going to be 70 degrees for another 5 days. That’s close enough to an Indian Summer for me. To celebrate, me and Chief checked another hike off the Broome County Dozen hiking challenge. This time it was Hawkins Pond County Park in […]
This year Halloween was on a Saturday. And it was a full moon. And it was daylight savings time! PHEW! What a weekend. Shame about that pandemic, eh? While I love Halloween, I hate scary movies. I did however do my civic duty and watched two horror movies, “The Boy” and “As Above So Below.” […]
Well it’s been 7 months and one week since I first mentioned kickboxing. Time flies, especially as you get older. After a couple of weeks of rough going trying to figure out how to have class, our teacher got us back into a rhythm with virtual classes and I now have my own small kickboxing […]
I don’t really like bouldering. That’s rock climbing without the harness and ropes, so you usually stick pretty close to the ground. Don’t get me wrong, bouldering has some positives. You don’t need any equipment except some shoes, you don’t really need a partner, but should have a spotter. It’s technically more difficult so you […]
An Indian Summer is a period of warm, dry weather that occurs between September and November. A single 80 degree Saturday that occurs one week into October is called a gift. The trouble is that a day that is a gift is certainly not long enough. It was only long enough for breakfast sandwiches with my […]
Friday I took a half day off. It’s just about hitting peak fall foliage season here in upstate NY and everything is glowing gold and orange. But that’s not why I took the half day. It was also my sister’s baby shower this weekend so I came home to the lakes to help set up […]
Last night I had a dream that the floor was lava like the game you would play as a kid. Only in the dream walking on ground was like being underwater and you had to step up onto something to get a breath. It was a short dream but when I woke up I thought […]
Do you ever feel like things just aren’t going that well? Not like they’re going wrong, exactly, these are all absolutely stupid first world problems. It’s just that sometimes I feel things could be going more smoothly. Like you go to the farm where they have the world’s best apple cider donuts, but they are […]
My aunt says “You just love life! You’re always doing something.” And this is true, I do love life, and I love doing things. But it’s not really the whole truth. The whole truth is that I just can’t stop, that I feel the need to fill every single minute of a day otherwise the […]
