Day 38: Say Hello, Wave Goodbye
Like many days in the isolation of social distancing, Wednesday was bittersweet. OK, it was more bitter than sweet. It feels like we really need to revise that word for the time of COVID-19. Maybe like “BitterBitterBitterSweet” or something like that? Lots...
Day 37: Backyard Bubble Bonanza
Thankfully, last week's snow is now a distant memory and after a period of being drowned in drifts and then swamped out with water, the backyard is finally nice enough for consistent play for the kids.As I'm writing this, I had to stop and think, "was that last week...
Day 36: Where the Streets Have No Names (or Cars)
The weather has finally been perking up, so I've been trying to get out "running" more often. I put the word in quotes, because at my current post-winter, life-in-quarantine fitness level, what I'm doing out there is probably somewhere in between jogging and...

I realized today that I have been at this blog for a little while now. First of all, it’s day 32 and I’ve managed not to miss a day. That is a huge personal victory for me because one new year’s resolution I had was to build a habit of daily writing,...
Day 31: Near and Far
On Wednesday, I had my monthly conference call with my board of directors, so I had lots to prepare. And by that I mean I needed to take a shower, shave and put on a shirt that has a collar. You see, while we generally do these via conference call, I just got us set...
Day 30: Elmo Party
As most parents out there can attest, any breaks in the monotony, real or invented, are extremely helpful in keeping the kids engaged and sane. And sane kinds means sane(er) grown ups.Tuesday, I stumbled on a nice one while Amelia was asking me if there was any place...
Day 29: Peaks and Valleys
Every day seems to have its own flow of ups and downs. Sometimes the monotony makes those peaks and valleys seem somewhat flat, other days, they feel like like Mount Everest and the Grand Canyon.Monday was one of those days. Everyone started out the day pretty cheery,...
