Suzi and I always wear our masks when we go into a building, but don’t usually wear them when we walk.

This week, I talk about the first trophy I ever won, and wonder if their condition today is a metaphor for something else.

I originally posted this Friday, July 3, 2015. It mostly has to do with moving day, but since it leads off with needing a new pizza place, we had a preferred place for a while, but now we rotate when we get it Thursday nights.
I broke off a relationship recently.
Actually, “relationship” isn’t really the best word for it. For the longest time, although the young woman involved knew it was me every time I called, I didn’t know her name for months. I just called her up on Monday nights to let her know I was coming, she did what I needed her to do and I left.

Here are all the places you can listen.
“As I adjust to the new normal it becomes easier to deal with and the differences between life now and before aren’t always that obvious.”

A great and different perspective from Fizz here. Go check it out at On The Fly, and make sure to share some love on her page!
Ten years ago, I went to Canandaigua, New York, to spend a few days in one of our company’s offices as part of a management-training program.
I enjoyed my time there. Everyone was friendly. The work was interesting, and the town was lovely in the evening.
