Gibberish - I'll start with that. I'm not the epitome of anything as fancy as an author. Nor am I involved in the attainment of something. Well, that's my first lie in the first paragraph. 

I'm not after being happy. Contentment is my usual goal, but I just checked Webster's and happiness is included in the definition of being content, so I may have to revisit. Why do I dismiss happiness? My answer is based on good vs. bad, right vs. wrong, happy vs. sad. See where I'm going? These are two sides, opposites, unequal but equally  divisive. 

Hmm, do I write TO an audience or to myself on here? My narcissistic tendencies tell me to do the former, but not sure. 

Back later.

Now what?  I'm after a quick fix for my quick Fthis/that when frustrated. But it's taken me months to get here; unlikely their is a shortcut back.

I'm back - from where? We'll see if this gets anymore consistent. New MO - I'm Grateful. For this, that and the other. I'm not an 'appreciating' type, because I'm not that observant. Lost in my own little world too often to notice what is in the front row. Skiing! Tomorrow! Probably. With Covid, and M not ready to join me,  I'm loading Single on the chair and that's a hazard. I'm willing to ride w/one other but then they agree to let another join and then I'm uncomfortable. The wind is also 'sposed to blow. But Sunday will rain on snow and no fun. I didn't ski last weekend so need to make some turns.

Checking in for what reason? Skiing was VERY good @ Lost Trail on Saturday (Sunday, too I read!), but the lines were 20-30 minutes due to Wind Hold on Saddle (?) Mtn lifts causing backups. Road tripped with neighbor Jim. We got along fine - no issues. More to share but not in the mood to type - work day is about done.

Where have you been! Well, that's a long answer. Mom died fall of '21. That's the big one. Nothing too new with work. M got her total knee done in April and slow recovery. Loren called me to invite  on a heli-ski trip...but my cynical side thinks that's a response to his turning 30 this month, and the offer will be withdrawn. Working on a carb and portion-reduction program for August. I'm @ 164 and want to be below 158 by 9/1/22. Reading book 'The Shadow of the Wind' given by Loren for Father's day.

A year...and I'm back. Nothing new to proclaim. Still @ 165 - ish. Work is same-same. But pending a response to request to work 4-day work week...been two weeks and no response. Visit Dad this weekend down in Boise. Snow may hit the Cascades this week and may have some flakes on the way south.

Keeping current, ain't we? WTF happened? WELL - Maggy has Alzheimer's. She's about 85% functional at hasn't lost much in the last 6+ months - very slow decline. Sara got bad hips and started making messes inside- so we put her down 2/2024....VERY F'ING HARD. Still miss her. :-(
