The son of humble, loving humans. Blue dot in a blue county in a very red state. I'm a stone's throw from beautiful Chicago which shaped my world-view. I act as a hobby and as a way to be someone other than me.

Living out of a suitcase for a few more days. I absolutely love seeing my Texas family, so happy to spend time with them.

The planet Houston is in full summer mode. Yikes.
5 years ago I'd be driving to Southern Indiana for a weekend of drink and fun. Now I fly to Houston to see my granddaughter and I love this!

Every Labor Day weekend for 35 years, these 5 assholes got together for drunken debauchery.
Really, we just watched bad movies, listened to good music and drank a lot. Over the years spouses and kids joined. It was the sort of thing I wish everyone had. Me on the left, of course.

This is a face that has cried a river of tears today. It was such a hard day but so beautiful. Tim would have winced at the church stuff but that's for his mother and she needs the strength.
Godspeed Bouncy boy.

Today has been a slog, did what I had to but just barely, dreading tomorrow.
Gym was disappointed in my lack of sweat. Oh, I sweated, just less due to lower humidity which feels incredible.

For most of today I haven't thought a bit about what had been consuming my thoughts and I just found my way back into the other world and realized that it's almost Friday and the weekend and the inevitable.
Here are some pics of Tim and me way back in the early 80s, being bad boys smoking!

I'm beginning to think Gym doesn't like me. Today he punished me with three high output bike rides, 2 ab workouts, bicep curls to death, he murdered my quads and obliques and all in less than 30 minutes and he smiled the whole time.

Start of a tough week, going to be saying goodbye to my buddy at the week's end.
Folks will be coming into town all week so there will be tears and laughter in equal measure sprinkled throughout.

I have been at or near, give/take, the same weight for about a year now with a steady decline leading to it but I've gained muscle as well and that is pretty historic for me.
Never too late, cliche but true.

Gym said I'm not working hard enough so I get more weight next week and a new protocol. Wah!
The weight is just on abduction, gotta have something to complain about. I still can't believe I've been doing this for over 2 1/2 years. Time flies.

Mantis vs Carpenter Bee. I labelled it because it's a mantis eating a bee and it's pretty creepy.
Enjoy if you are fascinated by nature.

Nature happening on my house. Mantis meets Carpenter Bee and, for some reason, the bee walked to the mantis when it got close. I'll post a vid next.
