I have joked a lot about figuring out what “What I want to be when I grow up”. I was told a very long time ago that if you didn’t figure it out by the time you turn 50 you don’t have to. Well, I turned 50 in December. I guess I don’t have to figure anything out! But all… Read more »
While not the case for all nations, here in the United States it’s finally starting to feel like we are getting back to the “old normal”. Sporting events are back at full capacity seating. Trade shows are back. Bands are going out on tour again. By the time you read this I will be recovering from another Bon Jovi concert… Read more »
I don’t think there are many people who don’t know what a piano is. I’d say a lot of us even take them for granted. But today is the day to really celebrate this magnificent instrument. This one is extra special to me. I took piano lessons for 10 years as a child, so did my sister. The piano is… Read more »
I’ve said for ages that one thing that keeps me going on this blogging journey is that it’s a form of therapy for me. It helps me get thoughts and ideas out of my head. It lets me use a part of my brain that I may not get to flex much otherwise. And sometimes it’s a lot of fun. … Read more »
As you may or may not have noticed, I have been obsessing a bit about being 50 years old. It felt OK when it happened, but it’s gotten weirder (for lack of a better word) since. I recently had a doctor’s appointment and two things happened that further enforced the “you are getting old” theme. #1 I got scheduled not… Read more »
Some time ago I stated that I was part of the “only group it’s still OK to put down” and stated that group is the childless by choice. Turns out I was wrong- there are a few other groups that apparently are still fair game, and – lucky me- I’m a part of another one. This group is daughters with… Read more »
I normally write about fun holidays that land on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, but January 17th is “Ditch your Resolution Day”. I typically don’t make resolutions in the first place, so why am I bringing this up? As part of a leadership/ personal development program I am enrolled in at work we are reading Stephen Covey’s best seller “The… Read more »
Well, it finally happened. I turned 50 this past week. People keep asking me how I feel. The answer is I have no idea. I have been low-key dreading this for some time now, but now that it’s actually here I don’t know what I was expecting. I certainly don’t feel like I thought I would when I thought about… Read more »
Recently Pat and I took a trip to California- the Hollywood/ Burbank area of Los Angeles to be exact. And yes, we had a great time even though we managed to be in town during an unusual heat wave- 90+ degrees every day is a little warm for my tastes! People frequently say that California is like another country. And,… Read more »
If you’ve been on the internet for more than 5 minutes you’ve noticed that there is a lot of finger pointing going on between generations. The Baby Boomers ruined the (insert resource here). Millennials are ruining the (insert name here) industry. Gen Z doesn’t understand (insert topic here). If you are observant, you’ll notice that one generation is almost never… Read more »
