The Challenge

A little over a week into my 6-weeks of "if you put any weight on your left foot, you're screwed" challenge, I am finding that my brain is reacting in a problem solving mode. I will admit, that in the beginning, I was less than confident. Every time, I had to go to...

It Takes Time

It Takes Time

Here are a few things that are glaringly obvious as I heal from reconstructive foot surgery. The first is that I am growing extremely confident on my handy scooter. I wiz around the house as if I were on a skateboard. Backing up is a challenge, but I know I will...

Size Matters…Apparently

Before you all spit out your coffee, this is not a pornographic post. This is the story of a man who insists that the size of a television matters. That he needs it to be bigger as much as he needs air to breathe. Okay, that might be a bit dramatic, but seriously,...

Apartment Living

Yesterday, after four months of online learning while being quarantined with his delightful family, Bryce has moved back to school and is now inhabiting his first apartment. His new home is pretty nice. Granite counters in the kitchen that is fully equipped with...

Not All There

Not All There

Friends, I am confident in the realization that 2020, not only has changed the course of our society, but it has robbed me of my brain. Maybe I am a bit consumed over the surgery that is upcoming next Friday or maybe I am just brain dead from this overstimulating...
