Celebrating my Mom on Mother's Day! 2025 Mother's Day Update! How lucky am I! How many 60-year-olds can brag to family and friends that they spent the previous week enjoying the week with their mother? Whether it was lunch out, the quick haircut, or the manicure she is still smiling over, we had a great week. One of my joys, when I visit Savannah, is my 4 PM break. I stay near her assisted living center, and go over to find out how her day is going, and help her get to dinner. It is always a good conversation with joy, and many times with laughter. Also, you have not spent a Friday right unless you have spent happy hour at Buckingham South in the afternoon. Between the snacks, music, and wine that Mom doesn't drink, it is quite a riot! 2023 Update for Mother's Day! It is Mother’s Day 2023… I wrote this a few years ago to share my love and admiration for my mom. This last year has reminded me more of how amazing and stro...
A few random thoughts on a Saturday morning? I appreciate The Bear TV Show and understand the awards, but I don’t like watching it and don’t see any contradiction. In college, I knew how to get an A, and I assume I knew how to get an F, but I didn’t know how to differentiate effort to get a B or C. This has continued in my work life; I am either all in, or I feel like I am failing. This election year is more stressful than at any point in my lifetime. I don’t understand why the Democrats can’t get behind their candidates as much as the Republicans. I don’t color my hair. I appreciate being bald, as I don't spend time worrying about my hair. We have had a relatively cool July in Longview; I assume Mother Nature’s payback in August will not be pleasant. People assume I am an introvert. Not necessarily. I just enjoy my own company. This is one reason I need my early morning walks alone. As I age, I realize that change is good; it is desired for me, but trying ...
OK, so here I am, August in Austin. It is our third summer in Austin and the 100-degree days don't seem so bad although they shorten Daisy Belle's adventures in the daytime. Maybe it is the heat, but it is time to shake things up! As I walked around Lady Bird Lake before the sun rose, this morning, I thought about what I could do to be more in the present and change things in my life. Already have a dog and a cat, not looking for fish or rabbits, so I think we have all the pets we can handled. Maybe a new hairstyle? But being bald what could I really do so radical, I have already shaved my head at times, and nobody even noticed. I thought about learning a new language or how to paint. How, when and where would I find the time for that! Then I read this op-ed piece in the NY Times on DataInternet Privacy Tracking . All these sites, advertisers, and social sites that are eager to track my every move. Sort of ma...
