Hi reader. Lately, I’ve been thinking about emergency plans. Tomorrow I’m taking a flight, and I know, before we takeoff, we’ll through the emergency plan. Schools have fire drills, and over the last decade, added “intruder” drills to the repertoire. I recently realized that my kids and I have never done a fire drill in […]
Man plans, god laughs. Except for this plan. Read More »
Last weekend I found myself with a lot of unplanned time. Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Wide open, no plans, no kids, no responsibilities. OK, I had a giant chore list but I chose to ignore it. At first, emptiness felt bad. Friday night, no plans. Hmm. I should call someone. I SHOULD

I used to have a word of the day calendar when I was a kid; I loved reading the words each morning. I bought one for my kids, they broke it and had no interest. I’m still a word geek. When I took my son to Boston this weekend, I had to introduce him to a great local
