Ageless Or Aging Musings #9

The meaning of life messages can certainly change over the decades. I remember when I first began working in the 80s that a “Hang In There” cat poster in someone’s cubicle always made me smile with thoughts of making it to Friday.

Monday Musings

We had a convergence of the seasons this weekend with winter joining fall. Not only did the weather crash the Halloween parties, but Christmas also crashed the party with decorations everywhere and the continued debate if it’s all too soon when my favorite radio station changed it’s format from the 80’s to Christmas music on…

Weekend Musings

One of those weekends where you find yourself closing your eyes and shaking your head at the blustery winds and rain, frost on the pumpkin and some of your teams failing to show up at game time. Harper was thrilled with the weekend conditions though since it meant we could stay indoors in our favorite…
