Day 300: Recognize
Wow–300 days. Don’t mean to get too meta on this one, or too self-congratulatory, but that number seems worth acknowledging. I don’t think I will do any formal assessment of what I’ve covered over those 300 days, as I’ve done … Continue reading

Day 297: Remake

Day 287: Proportionate
Huh. It turns out “proportionate” is a verb. Who knew? So I’ve been a bit down today. It may be the long stint of rain, or it may be the multiple days of thick fog. But if you ask me, … Continue reading
Day 276: Host
I’ve written before about how much easier it is for me to be a host rather than a guest. And while I’ve learned much by allowing myself to be someone’s guest, tonight I get to sing the praises of playing … Continue reading
Day 245: Curb
Maybe it’s because today was the first day back after a long weekend. Maybe it was all the catch-up I had to do. Whatever the cause, today wiped me out. But still, I had a plan. Way back at the … Continue reading
