This watch hasn’t been charged in months. I know, it’s been a long time since you last heard from me. Two hard casts, one removable cast, and weeks of physical therapy done, and still to come, but at least my broken wrist has improved. It’s still kind of weird, not fully able to bend at…
I Used to Love My Walks I used to take morning walks with one or both of my dogs. Aside from the exercise, fresh air, sunshine and, often, company of a friend, I would find beautiful bits of nature hiding in my suburban neighborhood. I don’t know about you, but I find the fungi in…

Maybe We’ve Just Been Put Here to Admire Creation As promised in my post yesterday, I’m returning to share some thoughts on life purpose. And this isn’t necessarily my life purpose specifically, but life purpose in general. Several questions come to my mind when I think about life purpose. First, how do any of us…
