The catalyst was a holiday trip to visit Family. In a strange development, noticed widespread dark stains on my teeth. From coffee?

Quit drinking coffee and diet coke when we returned to Orlando. That was on January 5, 90 days ago.

No coffee, No workee.

It’s the focus and discipline that seems impossible.

Thank goodness.

Would have been easy to forget to take Jack the Teddy Bear on the short drive to work last week.

Would have been easy to say it doesn’t matter anymore, your son is a teenager now.

Getting organized is one thing. Staying that way is entirely another.

Live like you mean it.

In spite of it all.
