Be the wine, home

Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park’s Logan Pass years ago, late September with Djuan and Michael (from Australia). Truth be told, i’ve been known to whine about the cold.

Be the wine, not the hangover. -social media

Be the reason, not the excuse. – dad

Note: Be the reason you prioritized your priorities, not the excuse why you never did.

My recent first ever discovery of a smiling Jesus. Beyond surprised. Overwhelmed. Delighted. Ecstatic.

What’s one thing that’s surprised you about summer 2026?

While not technically ‘surprised’, being a couple months into a fixed-income lifestyle is not negatively denting our normal lifestyle so far.

Delightfully surprised.

Allentown daises, not far from cousin Michael’s home. From a walk while up for Cheryl’s 50th high school reunion.

Daises are my favorite. – dad

What would a Spring-Breaker do?, home

Sanibel beach
Reading and writing at the beach is a creative endeavor. Pre-Covid-19. Mitchell’s Sand Castles on Sanibel Island.

What would a spring breaker do?

  1. Not give a heck about anything (except sex, and where’s the next beer coming from).
  2. Worry about safe sex and if they can afford the next beer.
  3. Get a suntan.
  4. Look for a hotel (close to their KOA) with a free buffet and a two-for-one happy hour.

No responsible spring breaker ever does any of the above, except get sunburnt.
