I never know what I’m going to see when I’m walking. One thing I’ve discovered is what I want to ‘see’ when I walk. If I want to observe, I walk someplace new and fresh. That way, I can explore on what my eyes focus. On the other hand, when I prefer to let my …

Decorated Christmas Security Gate (Not)
With Bernie and Chris in the car, we were on the way to the vacant field almost a mile from our home. They get a robust exercise twice daily. It was just before dawn on Friday, November 24, 2017, when I approached the Resort front gate. It was the day after Thanksgiving. A lone bright …
What’s in your wallet or purse?
About thirty years ago, I was introduced to that exercise. At that time, it was used to introduce how easily we become attached to our daily habits. It was a useful way to show how much old stuff (our old habits) we carried around. Yes, some habits should remain. But some old habits need to …
Bernie and Chris’s Thanksgiving
Sal used to be my neighbor. He is a busy guy. He is active in church and does minor landscaping and washes dozens of the Park Model homes in the RV resort. He loves Bernie and they easily bonded. I wrote a couple stories how Sal fixed Bernie’s breakfast in my book Challenges and Rewards. …
Now you know the rest of the story…
I had just picked up a batch of mail from my post office box and was walking away when a neighbor stopped me. “I read your book.” “Did you enjoy it?” “Well, it was interesting. I never realized how much work a person has to go through.” He continued, “I’d never do it. I had …
Surprise Sunset
My view… just a hint of the total western sky ablaze with brilliant hues from hot yellow to more cooling colors as my eyes sought the quarter moon. It was a great way for me to start trying out my ‘new’ right eye after cataract surgery the day before. I’ve found a new meaning for …
From the Known to the Unknown
Here’s the thing. The fastest way for me to go crazy is to be bored. I must have a project to keep from being bored. So today I am shifting from sharing about Bernie and Chris to a more general population. Humans. More specifically… YOU (and me) I started my research by taking two known …
What you see… depends on your ability to observe
It’s Monday, November 20, 2017. More than that, it’s a special day for me. In a few hours, I will be driven to Spectra Eye Institute P.I.C. in Sun City, Arizona. I’m going to have eye surgery in my right eye. Although that’s probably not one of the most important news in ‘your world,' it …

A slight therapy schedule shuffle
Thursday, November 16th was a double duty day for Bernie and Chris. Usually, we schedule only one therapy visit a day. However, one facility had requested we come in the afternoon. We visit between four and five different facilities during the week. There are different types of facilities serving a variety of folks. Some are …
“My dog eats better than me.”
The woman laughingly made that comment to me the other day. I had Bernie and Chris on a leash as we walked around the neighborhood. It was the middle of a beautiful fall November day. I don’t usually take the dogs for a walk in our neighborhood. The sun was out; the blue sky streaked …
