So, I got a bit off track. I came down with a stomach bug, then snowmageddon hit the Pacific Northwest. I couldn't get to my mailbox much less the grocery store or the gym. I had around 5" or snow, but downtown Portland had 10 inches. This is not a place where we know what to do with that much snow or with weather in the…

Oh boy, no advice about head lice as I never even had them as a kid. Maybe part of the solution is teaching them to be extra careful about not sharing hair brushes, not sharing coats, scarves or clothes with kids at school, things like that. You have to get those out, leaving them in is not sanitary. Maybe your local…

Well, I knew where my gym bag was and where my swim bag was...but it turns out there was no swimming suit in there and no lap swim fins! Somehow they went walkabout during the move. I did find suits that I can wear (not the one I was looking for!) but not the flippers. I ended up doing some organizing and unpacking last…

Great to see you too! Today marks a year since my dad died of pancreatic cancer. He would want me to take care of myself and to get out and enjoy life, so that is what I am trying to do.

I have been reading a book, Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad where the author does some “100-day projects.” I thought that might be a useful way for me to frame things. 100 days from now is May 10th.
