An odd week – This past week was spent getting ready for this coming week. Several activities have strangely come together at the same time or overlapped. (I like to agonize over each event separately!) Gracie’s surgery tomorrow conflicts with … Continue reading

It didn’t used to be like this. I never worried about getting shot. Now I do. There is an unusual person at my gym. He is a young man maybe in his 30’s. I thought he had a form of … Continue reading
