Some minute musings about what wanted attention this past week: Stuck at first thought Our group of fearless friends ventured into another escape room last Saturday. Being the first room at a new-for-us location, I eagerly anticipated some new twists on familiar puzzles and locks. The theme had our group split into two rooms. That…

Last December I recorded Nova’s Bird Brain and finally had a chance to watch it. The promo mentioned crows and I’ve heard they are very intelligent. Have to say after watching the show, birds are rather spectacular. They’re not just pretty faces feathers either. One species use tools. Many solve problems and can apply past learnings to entirely…

Another busy week in the books and two more to go. The week was packed with drywall dust, yard cleanup and running errands at our other place, a great coaching session and another SEO presentation gone well. To be honest, with everything going on I was coming to terms with there being no Letter. Letting…

I’m calling it – burnt. out. Found out on Monday, instead of having 10 days to gather, complete and submit paperwork – I had until Thursday. As in, this week. Maybe Friday. I started to wonder – how many more obstacles are going to get thrown in the way on this one? Details aren’t…
