Yesterday I went to a law office on the 28th floor of a building in downtown Nashville. I had just rewatched the first episode of Boston Legal over the weekend and the offices total reminded of that show – although with far fewer people running around in the hallways. Walking into the lobby of theContinue reading “Nashville Legal”

Over the past several weeks, I have written several posts in my head but did not get out the computer for about 2 weeks. Partly it was because Carli made it impossible. If I sat at a table or desk she jumped in my lap. I would accommodate her and start to type and sheContinue reading “Bullied by a 10# dog”

NOTE: I wrote this on August 17th and then got distracted and didn’t post it and apparently have not felt like blogging for a month…. I decided to post the old one and will do a catch up blog. I am alive and well. I woke up early today with a desire to write. YesterdayContinue reading ““A False” Awakening….”

I keep thinking I am going to feel ready to move forward in some direction but not yet. Another hot and humid week which does not make leaving air conditioning enticing. I did work out with my trainer 3 times this week and my quest for muscular shoulders is starting to be visible – soContinue reading “A wasted week – or not?”

It is now Wednesday and I have done little of the tasks I thought I would get done on Monday – hopefully today. Carlie is not a motivator – it is just too easy to want to cuddle with her “to make sure she feels secure”. Last week I had 6 days of physical activityContinue reading “It takes a surprising amount of energy to “do nothing””

My 14 hours of driving for the Amishland and Lakes Cycling Tour was well worth it. The temperature was indeed in the 70’s with blue skies. I rode 50 miles on Saturday and 40 miles on Sunday. The Sunday route had some challenging hills and I used all of the techniques I have been practicingContinue reading “Spontaneity worked!!!”

I just had an impromptu Thai dinner with my son after dropping Carli off with the couple that wants to be part of the Carli “care taking community”. I have used the past 2 weeks of getting to know and love Carli as cover for my desire to not interact too much with the world.Continue reading “Emerging……”

We are well – and spending the time to bond. Carli has been the perfect excuse to continue to chill and very gradually catch up on adult things that accumulated while I was traveling. Still not done yet. I am make NO progress on figuring out anything moving forward – but then I am notContinue reading “Carli – 8 pounds of strong will and sweetness”

As crazy as Monday was with feeling of craziness, yesterday was the opposite. I wrote a check for the deposit on my kitchen renovation, I adopted Carli, a 4 y/o 8.5 pound sweetheart. To top the day off I had a great bike ride with the Nashville Slow Ride group and may have identified aContinue reading “Chilling with Carli”

Yesterday was one of the strangest days of my new life. I spent the weekend vegetating and felt like I needed to start making up for it. I finished going through my mail and identified all of the “adulting” things I needed to do; did the one thing of highest priority and after having aContinue reading “Playing ping-pong in my head”
