You two were so lucky to have found each other and stayed so close throughout your marriage! My Mom is in the same boat. She's been without my Dad for five years this November. It's been interesting watching

That house is going to have an amazing view!

Thank you. You're so right, personal change is so deeply rooting in courage. The thing is once we begin to make better choices, take a different path, or try something that scares us it get easier each

For sure, sometimes the window of opportunity only opens once or we don't get a "do-over".

The world can become too “peopley” as we get older. 😂

I'm a huge fan of the smaller festivals now. Parking is usually easier and it's more enjoyable, overall, for me.

That is a very good track-record if that's all you've needed to replace on a 2018. I've heard certain BMW models are very reliable. I always wondered how much wear and tear the start/stop feature caused

You must just have an excellent memory!

I always enjoyed that festival. The ComFest in Goodale Park (Short North) was always my favorite.

It's great that you had that kind of support during those challenging times.

I'm in total disbelief that this war still rages on. I've wondered how you've been since I saw the news about the increasing Russian missile strikes on Kyiv. Here in America the news of the war rarely

Yes! It's all about the choices we made, isn't it? We can live many, many lives in the course of one lifetime.

I really appreciate that, Lizelle! It takes a fair amount of luck too. I didn't have it nearly as bad as Tyler did. Parts of Columbus gotten even more crime-ridden after I moved away in 1995. This wave

Bexley is still pretty decent! It's always been like an oasis, surrounded by sketchy areas. Les Wexner used to live in North Bexley before he built his new mansion in New Albany. If you want an eye-opening

It was unique for us because prior to 1985/6 the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful—so my friends and I (GenX) lived in both of those worlds. It's difficult to imagine a single drug (crack cocaine) could

Thank you! I didn't have it that bad during childhood. I'd say 80% of the time it was just like any other middle-class childhood in that time period. Sometimes we found ourselves in dangerous situations

The thing about Columbus is the danger/violence is pretty well concentrated within certain neighborhoods. If you're in the Dublin/Worthington area or many other neighborhoods throughout the city you'd

That's so true, Nancy! You have to do the work and can't expect others to do it for you. We were lucky because our neighborhood didn't start to turn bad until around 1985 and then it continued its decline

I think it's really all about the quality of the choices you make. Starting fresh made that aspect easier. I'm very grateful for that second chance.

Oh man, it looks like I have some research to do! I don't remember that one. : )
