Day 9 From the Containment Zone
March 19, 2020 (Toilet paper inventory: holding at 12 rolls) Here in the containment zone, every morning is pretty much the same. I have my rituals in place and go through them step-by-step… Wake up (Essential) Assess breathing and check for body aches/fever (All good) Tend to morning ablutions (Use your imagination.

Believing Is Believing Revisited
The holidays seem to be sweeter when there are children in the family. My kids are practically adults now, but it wasn’t that long ago when they were still daydreaming about flying reindeer or bunnies bearing chocolates. There is something about that wide-eyed wonder that brings out the children in all of us. One day,…

Sustenance
Food. Nourishment. Grub. Whatever you want to call that stuff you stuff into your mouth, its intended purpose is to support life.
