Back in the early-ish days of the pandemic, a pretty cool thing happened in the midst of the craziness. Because everything in the world was basically shut down, people got all inventive in terms of connecting with their fellow humans. Zoom calls became the norm.

I awoke from a fitful sleep sometime after 6:00 tonight and went outside for the first time in days. The cold was surprising and there was an ache in my lungs as I inhaled the painfully fresh air. I squinted hard against the sun, which was still high in the sky, though descending quickly, preparing… Continue reading At Play in the Fields of the Bored
We lost our friend and fellow ALS warrior Al this week. I am profoundly sad. I didn’t know Al well, but I was really looking forward to getting to know him and his wife better this summer.
Today was ALS ONE’s annual Polar Plunge in Marshfield. It was a frigid day for a frolic in the ocean, and I give props to all those brave enough to go in.

The girls and I went to dinner tonight. We go to dinner fairly often together, but tonight we had the first planning meeting for the fundraiser we are planning to host in October to raise funds for ALS ONE. My family and I became involved with ALS ONE almost a year ago and they have… Continue reading Girls on a Mission
