New Years and (NO) Resolutions

 


When I went to the gym to swim today, the parking lot seemed a LOT more crowded that usual for that time of the evening.  And there were more people in the pool that usual (but I did get my own lane).  I figured this would be the case on the 3rd day of 2022.  1/3/2022, thus, makes me think of my Two For: New Years and (NO) Resolutions.  Yes, that's right.  I am a fan of having no resolutions.  If someone presses me I say "1) survive to 2023 (i.e. the next year and, yes, lately, that seems harder to keep) and 2) give up naked hang-gliding (on a streak of 52 years clean).  But seriously, I like what Alan Hunter said on the 80s on 8 this weekend.  We do not need resolutions, we need good lifestyle choices.  And I will continue to try to be as kind and helpful and empathetic and respectful of others as I can.  But these aren't resolutions (made to be broken).  These are the way I, personally, want to be.  Hope you all are starting the New Year striving to be the best you you can be as well!

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
