Hey ya’ll: I SO SELDOM ask for anything…PLEASE do this??? My father-in-law is turning NINETY next week. His WONDERFUL wife died a while back, and he’s alone in an apartment in Vienna, Austria (he is Austrian). He is a lovely, lovely man. I would post a photo – but I don’t have one – all […]
Day 145 (1/30) – “I need some Bonnying”; Diana Nyad; GiveIt100.com; WayOfTheWhale.com (Susan Bird), The Gabriel Code
Moddie and I watched the Diana Nyad documentary “The Other Shore” together last night. ARE YOU KIDDING ME – ?!?!?!?!?! WHAT a story!

My Cinderella Moment on Day 137 (yesterday, January 22)
I was supposed to go to Crossfit today (first day back), but the WOD I can make is at 6:30 p.m. and I realized that will not work. Why you ask? Let me explain! Yesterday was my first LONG day out after surgery. I had lots and lots to do . . . talking to […]
Second TAR Video “List” (separate email) – includes videos, quotes, etc. – January 21 (Day 136)
I posted this in a previous email, but I thought it should have its own post instead of being part of a “litany” I did on the last day before surgery. :-) These are “selfies” or videos” that Moddie and I think we need to do for our 2nd video WHEN The Amazing Race folks […]
