Inner Strength
I’m here. I’m surviving. And in some ways I feel myself thriving. The key for me is digestible small chunks of information. No doom scrolling, no freaking myself out with hours of reading the news on various platforms and social media accounts. The key for me is to preveng panic because that’s what takes away…

So here we are, 2025
I’ve been thinking that I need to get back to blogging for awhile now. So much has changed and the world around us is so different than it was just a few months ago. I felt a strange aversion to blogging, like it was just too much work. That’s not true, it’s never been true,…

Back at it
Last night was my first time back at lacrosse practice since surgery. It was easy to be there and I didn’t feel tired while I was there. I feel tired today, however. I hate how surgery takes away stamina for daily life and activities. I don’t think I am excessively active normally, so it seems…

Never ending levels of learning

Standards
The recent development with Biden’s classified documents discovered at multiple locations is really pissing me off. I was equally pissed off about Trump’s documents, Hillary’s server and emails, and every other time an elected or appointed government official has mishandled information. It’s not ok when ANYONE does, no matter what political party they happen to…

Intelligence
(Today I am ignoring the prompt that asked me about my favorite place to visit. I refuse to be derailed by WP’s writing prompt right now, but maybe I will answer that later.) So my question is when did when did critical thinking become a liability? Why is intelligence looked down upon in some circles?…

Sick
I am sick. My wife has been sick all week and I’ve been less present with blogging than usual. I’m sure it’s just a cold or some weird little virus that’s not Covid. I am vaccinated and boosted last fall and now this fall. I’m not interested in debating the pros and cons of Covid…
