Broken windows

Some guys horsing around in Greensboro busted out Avery's window this weekend.

Bright side is... I had an excuse to go "help out" and ended up having a lovely day off!

P.S. Is it a "sign" that maybe we should start making those omelettes professionally?

Rehearsal Begins

in 3 days!

Losing Balance (a self help indulgence session)

I've always been a "reacher"...
always wanting more, bigger, grander, better, faster, stronger, smarter.

But all that reaching... it's exhausting! Living on the energy of the drive; Surfing the adrenaline of youth and repression and creation.

Then somewhere around 30 I discovered "rest." Breathing. The ability to pause with someone and savor a moment. It felt good. It turns out thrashing forward constantly is not a necessity. And resting doesn't diminish my contribution to the world.

But the extremes are dangerous.

Drive easily becomes compulsion.
Rest becomes stagnation.
Grandiose dreams become delusion.
Stillness becomes sloth.

Where's the balance?

Here's to finding the combination that works.
What do you do?

Not Like Us

If nothing else, I hope that this election causes people to see that not everyone is "like us."

Change requires hard work... Time to roll up our sleeves and pitch in.

No matter who or what you voted for, what are you doing to help create a better America?

It was drizzling when I went to vote - but NO LINE!
