Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

  • And then suddenly…

    Things have been a little bumpy on this trip. It’s good, but bumpy.    Bumpy 99% of the time because of me, probably, maybe..  but that’s okay.   There’s going to be bumps.   But, overall, it’s going good.    I think we feel more natural with each other this time than last.  I realistically couldn’t ask for much… Read more

  • Comparison is not a sin

    In the House, we were told comparison was a sin. It was sin to compare what I have to what someone else has, to the way she or he looks, or even to how they act or behavior. I think the running theory was that the girls in the House needed to be happy with… Read more

  • Florida – Take 2

    Well, it’s official. I’m flying back on March 18th. This trip will be a little longer than the first – 6 weeks instead of 4. I suppose this is a step in the right direction.    Still, makes me nervous. The weather, while temped tossed, is changing for the better in Indiana.   From where I am,… Read more

  • We haven’t changed the calendar. It doesn’t seem like a priority although we’re some 18 days into 2018. We’ve talked about it.   Commented.   I even looked amount the 60% calendars while taking a gym in Pokémon Go, but no.  Didn’t buy one and 2017 is still pinned to the wall. In a way, I’m okay… Read more

  • A couple of weeks ago, I was at the Indianapolis airport waiting on Jason’s plane to arrive.    I was waiting in the main hub – a circle where all of the incoming planes dump out their passengers.  It’s primarily dominated by overpriced fast food, a couple of souvenir shops, and possibly one actually honest-to-goodness bookstore.  … Read more

  • Seattle has its heart in the right place. —  It really does.   Best intentions… but we all know where that path leads. Newsflash everyone – The mandatory minimum wage to $15 does not promote spending.  It does not help uneducated single parents feed their children.   It does not mean people get what they want –… Read more

  • The fair anniversary

    I have a selective memory. Of that, I have no doubt. There are certain memories that stand out and will never be forgotten.   There are some memories that change with age.  But, when encountered with something that causes a lot of stress or a ‘life changing’ situation, I tend to gently bury it in the… Read more

  • I don’t look at the Columbus paper often. –  I guess I became a bit spoiled in Florida.   There, I read the Wall St. Journal, Bloomburg, the Economist and, every once in a while, the Tampa Tribune and the St. Pete Times.  I can guarantee that there was never a front page headline about keeping… Read more

  • Some 15 years ago, when Jason worked at Sears and I at Knology, we were on a carousel. Our lives were fairly controlled.   We had some time off together.  The work was mostly steady.   We knew what we had to do in our respected jobs day in and day out.  Based upon scheduling, we actually… Read more

  • Every once in a while.. well, more frequently since I’ve had more time… I check on this discussion board.   It’s one of those boards that a lot (supposedly) intelligent people post on.  Primarily a gaming cite, it covers… everything and of often with excruciating detail about nearly every game imaginable. I mean, this is where… Read more
