Wild Wednesday

Posted on Jun 8, 2022Jun 8, 2022 by Bernie

Yep it was a wild Wednesday. Although technically it hasn’t been confined to Wednesday. It’s been going on now for a while.  Reading between the lines in Smoke and Mirrors I was obviously ready to try something “wild”.  What was I thinking?

The nuts made me do it

Posted on Sep 3, 2021Sep 9, 2021 by Bernie

2 years “out”

Posted on Feb 1, 2021Feb 1, 2021 by Bernie

2 years ago today I stepped into semi-retirement. I’m not going to lie, for some reason it felt scary. Giving up who I was professionally, decreasing our income and walking into uncharted territory. There seemed like more questions than answers.

The best collectibles

Posted on Oct 18, 2020Oct 18, 2020 by Bernie

The impact of one sentence, spoken to me in 1977, is profound. The implications of those words lead to a single decision that can be traced into so many aspects of my life today.

Tire swings

Posted on Sep 26, 2020Nov 10, 2021 by Bernie

It came to me this morning that tire swings are like love, they go around and around and around. The momentum is endless and all encompassing. A tire swing and love can make you sick or fill your heart with joy. Today there was no emesis but a heart so full of love.
