Day 181: Liberate
Tonight I was in the middle of writing a rather self-reflective blog entry when suddenly, I was called to action: something big was rustling about in the trashcan outside. My wife brought me around to the side of the house … Continue reading
Day 180: Inventory
We just rolled back into town after taking a day trip down to see my in-laws. It’s another late night entry, and I’m tired…. so tonight’s posting will have to be brief. I’m coming up on the half-way mark on … Continue reading
Day 179: Hesitate
OK, “hesitating” doesn’t really sound too much like living deliberately, but hear me out on this one. I was up super-early this morning to get my son to his training camp. Then back home, to pay some bills and to … Continue reading
Day 178: Seal

Day 174: Exhale
So I’m just puttering around the house tonight, to be honest. I pulled some books off of the last remaining bookshelf and sorted out the ones I wanted to keep and the ones I could give away. I left a … Continue reading
Day 173: Detox
Nope, sorry. No lemon juice purges or blueberry smoothies for this detox (though a blueberry smoothie does sound pretty good right about now….) The truth is, I’ve had a bad case of l’esprit de l’escalier for most of the day. … Continue reading
Day 172: Recapitulate
Well, we are back in Atlanta after a quick, two-day trip up to North Carolina–and back to stable internet access. A quick recap of yesterday, as promised: I took the boys up to the old family cemetery–I knew where it … Continue reading
