It's all good.....

Every day life presents us with questions, choices, opportunities. How will we live? How will we proceed. I find it hard to sit and write ... the days are flying by. I live with four very creative people whose projects and interests keep us all busy. The steady stream of movies, music, books, sports, naps, media, ..... in addition to the obligations .... these are certainly not problems. The days are full and richly rewarding but for the first time in my life, they are speeding by. Is this what happens when you hit a "certain age"?

So for the "rock n roll" portion of my day my latest obsession is the band Hem and their album Funnel Cloud.

Where Does the Time Go?

We returned from winter break invigorated and ready to dig into house projects and renewed work out routines, better nutrition, etc. We followed the Oregon Trail home from Jackson Hole, WY (and a terrific ski trip) and along the way I read every magazine you can think of. I am fully versed on all 401 things one must do in order to simplify, green, and complete my life.

It is now January 22nd and I have officially done none of those things. Zero out of 401. Not a very good score. What I have done is travel to the Cascade Mountains every weekend to play in the snow. We have gone sledding, skiing, tubing, and cross country skiing. Then we leave the snowy mountain playground and drive an hour back into the 45 degree city. It's a good set-up.
