1968…after everything was cleaned up. There was a pile of Christmas presents stacked on and around the chair.
1968…before everything needed to be cleaned up. Gifts for five kids and six adults.
Careful what you wish for.
Sage wisdom
Old photos are fun.
Back in my day we didn’t have an endless stream of photos to look at.
Scarcity creates value.
Excess creates commodities.
Commodity unanimously creates disinterest, or, at best, utilitarian function (which is insanely boring).
Utilitarian is useful, but boring. Take laundry detergent for example.

1966…baseball cards…a rug, ironing board, folding chair, and a fireplace…living the dream.
Praying for the day when everyone in the world gets along nicely.

We grew up in York County, Pennsylvania.
Baltimore, Maryland was the closest city with a professional sports team(s). Philly and Pittsburg, even though in our home state, were farther away.
Baltimore had the Orioles baseball team and the Colts football team.
The Orioles and the Colts were ‘my’ teams.
My Mom tells the story about me asking if (or maybe me simply stating they are) Frank Robinson and Brooks Robinson are brothers.
One was black, one white.
i didn’t see the difference.
i asked because they had the same last name and played on the same baseball team. How could they not be brothers?
There’s a lot of truth in comedy.
And a lot of comedy in truth.
Surfing You Tube last week and a new name in comedy presented itself as a video i might like.
Sight unseen. Name unrecognizable. Gave the 56-minute video a shot.
Couldn’t stop laughing.
All the way to the end.
Greg is an artist.
That’s initially what hooked me.
Few would focus on that, but i go there naturally, instinctively. Always ready for a teachable moment (or 56 minutes).
It’s delightful when a You Tube comedy video is funnier than expected. Watched it the first week of December. Sharing it here to see if it’s still worth rewatching in mid-July.

Bonus, Jimmy Buffett video from a song on his current album, texted to me just now, 1030am December 6, 2023.
Belief has an astonishing impact on our attitude.
Our attitude has a remarkable impact on our desire to transform our habits.
Our habits are the key to wellness.
And to be clear, our habits can also be our demise.

Mid Life Celebration has no website backup since November 13, 2023. Three weeks is a long time for something to not work and for no one to catch it. i caught it, accidentally yesterday (Dec 4, 2023). Yay me!
Last backup was with the previous GoDaddy Hosting Plan on November 13, 2023.
Maria signed her book for us. It’s a fitting final blog photo for today. We work hard everyday to make our world a better place. Anxious to have GoDaddy deliver on their ability to do the same.
When multiple life storms hit you simultaneously, lean on your rock solid foundation of goodness.

Praying for daylight. When (if) you watch this Rascal Flatts music video, know that if i were singing it, i’d be singing to my eyesight, not a girl.

Traveled for weeks with two bicycles and the stuff they would hold.
Once you slay a guaranteed regret, you build confidence in your ability to succeed again.

Slaying regret is habit forming.
