Well, the latest indicator that I’m getting “older” took place yesterday. I had a root canal. To be accurate, I endured the first part of a three-part root canal procedure. The fun is far from over.

Do you have a habit that you wish you could change? Do you act out in a way that has you perpetually asking yourself, “When I am going to finally stop doing that?” I’ve been golfing for many years now. During my ten or so years of playing the game (and supposedly loving the game),… Read More

I’ll start things off with a good ol’ dose of vulnerability. For the last couple of years, I have felt “behind” the times because I didn’t own Apple TV. As I noticed this toy appearing in my friends’ homes, I started to see my lousy deluxe cable package as being much like the brown box… Read More
One of my main intentions for the new year was to start practicing yoga again on a regular basis. So far so very good. I have attended a yoga class almost every day since January 1st. I feel so damn good. I got a bit chunky in the fall. I started not to really care… Read More
