BREAKDOWN

I used to compete in Judo when I was a very young boy. . . . I can still remember the name of this one guy who beat me all the time, even though those defeats came almost fifty years ago.

CHECKING IN

Ruminations over a French Press...My wife left this morning to see an old friend back east. There was a time when her absence meant day after day of pizza from the local joint, followed by a frantic hour of cleaning up the pile of takeout boxes before she came home.

TAKE YOUR MEDICINE MONDAY

WEEKEND BULLETS

Trying to work on having a heart of gratitude. I made it a practice for awhile early in the year and then stopped when a bunch of small projects distracted me. Bottom line is that it makes me happier and I like myself better when I don't grumble.
