In the habit
Every morning, after I get up and brush my teeth, I take the dog outside and then come in and feed her.
Finding the way
Teresa and I have been spending a lot of time playing a computer game that plops you, the player, somewhere that has been documented by Google and challenges you to explore the area and figure out where you are on a map.
Ticking of the clock
When I woke the morning after Daylight Savings Time went into effect, I didn’t have to stop and think what time it was.
Taking out the trash
One of things I dislike most about housework is how constant it is.
Seek and ye shall find
When I picked Teresa up from school one day last week, I asked the usual question: “How was your day?” I expected the usual middle school answer: “Fine,” or maybe “OK,” delivered in a monotone designed to stifle any further inquiry.
Timing is everything
Timing is everything, as the saying goes. A winter storm blanketing the Chicago area on a Saturday morning, with plenty of time to plow streets and clear sidewalks before rush hour Monday morning? Pretty, isn’t it?
In appreciation of teachers
As we approach Catholic Schools Week this year, let’s take a moment to appreciate the teachers.
Be it resolved
I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions. I never have, and I don’t suppose I ever will, although if the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that we can never be sure what’s coming.
Building plans
I’m a planner. That statement would come as no surprise to my family. They know that I always want to know what’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen and how long it’s going to take. And also what I need to have on hand and what I need to do ahead of time to make it happen
Just you wait
Wait. It’s a word I must say a dozen times a day.
