I turned 55 this past October. Didn’t think that would be much of a big deal but this birthday affected me more than hitting 40 or 50. Those are supposedly the ones that cause more heartache but the big 55 was worse. Not sure why but it made me really think about mortality and exactly …
Ever wonder how you got to where you are today? Did part (or all) of your life turn out to be wildly different than your plans? Did you see yourself in a completely different place than where you are? You’re not alone. I believe we all feel that way at one time or another. But …
If you’ve paid attention to media reports of David Cassidy’s passing you have probably heard the story of his last words. His daughter reported that the 70’s singer’s final words were “So much wasted time”. I can’t think of a sadder ending than this. The former teen heartthrob must have had quite the life growing …

Old friends are on your mind more than they used to be. You care deeply about them and how their life is going. I recently had the immense pleasure …
This part of the world has been on my mind a lot lately. The calmness of the countryside, the beauty of the rolling hills, I really do miss being in this part of the world. Here are a few pictures from our time there.
