Most of you would laugh at a gun crew that used the above drill for honing its artillery skills. How can you fire when you haven't found you target?= It goes against the logical order of events. And yet, in an odd sort of way; we always have to fire before we aim. So often … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: Ready, Fire! Aim,
Fitness update: turning signals and staying in your lane
Today's Fitness update is going to be a very short vignette from this morning. I was out with the dog on the bicycle giving him his daily excursion when I came up on Parvin Road and a detour sign because of construction.

#270: The Haven of Rest
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea, So burdened with sin, and distrest, Till I heard a sweet voice saying, "Make me your choice!"

The sabbatical update report could be considered similarly a progress report from a mental emotional well-being status.

Fitness Update: A run for the (insert choice of word)
Well, the attempt to schedule last week has paid some dividends. I am waking up at the same time, not that I haven't gone back to sleep right after on occasion. Mornings still seem to be starting late and getting done long before the work I intend to accomplish in them.
