February 19, 2017 8456 We try to reserve Sundays for recharging and last-minute catching up before the week starts.  Today we went to a “good-luck” party for one of our nephews who is starting a new chapter in his young adult life and then took care of shopping and laundry…a fairly

February 18, 2017 8440 An oops for missing yesterday’s photo… It’s our nephew’s birthday tomorrow – he’s not a nephew by blood, but close-enough.  We’re getting together with our friends this evening for Pizza and beer, so why not throw in a birthday too?  The lady had the great idea

February 16, 2017 8438 I didn’t envision this blog serving as any sort of political forum, but some days’ events make it a difficult subject to avoid – today’s highlight was a 77 minute press conference that raised more questions than it answered.  Fake news. Being treated badly. Bad courts.

February 15, 2017 8428 Time. Pressed for time. Out of time.  Time to get moving.  However you slice it, time feels pretty intrusive this week and I don’t seem to be managing it well.  Tonight it seemed like I had just gotten home and then it was time to call it

February 12, 2017 8392 Shadows – rifling around in the basement looking for something, I came across some of the boy’s legos and HESS trucks.  Until then, I had been stuck on what to shoot for today’s 365 image. Despite the elegance of falling snow, the camera remained inside… These images

February 11, 2017 8373 It’s Saturday and I went into work for a few hours – with all the snow and yesterday’s events, there was quite a bit of out-of-office time this week.  E also had to work, so it wasn’t until mid-afternoon that we realized we ran out of heating

February 10, 2017 8354 Weary. Tired. Fatigued. Drained.  I used to have physically demanding jobs – grounds maintenance, manufacturing, jet engine mechanic – and most days I came home tired.  I still come home most days feeling completely drained, like I have given all that I have to give, but the

February 9, 2017 8331 Today was the biggest storm of the winter  – a lot of places were closed – and we took advantage of a snow day to hunker down and recharge.  It’s amazing to reflect on winters we spent in Anchorage where 8-12 inches of snow had far less impact on
