You're welcome. I just read this quote today, "We do not grieve for the ones we love returning to the wind & Earth but for never enough time in this place together". That pretty much sums

What a time-capsule! I think just after WWII through to the early 1960's was peak NYC. It wasn't without its problems but normal working people could still afford to live there.

You're welcome!

I'm very sorry to hear you and your family are dealing with this. No matter when it happens it feels like it's too soon. I moved cross-country when I was 24 with all intentions of returning to my family

Thank you! I managed to dodge it as well the last time it made its way around our inner circle. I think the strains now are much more tame than those first few from 2019-2020. The delta variant seems to

Happy anniversary to you! I wish you many more to come!

I had no idea they made a three cylinder! Suzuki and GEO had a few 3C's in the 1990's. It makes sense for an SUV that small. I've seen the smaller Buicks and the Trax. Ford makes a similar SUV as well,

A few episodes like this will definitely make you pay closer attention. I was hiking in higher elevations the morning before this happened to me for the first time. It was frightening. I caught a plane

It looks so beautiful there! I really hope to visit Italy soon. Almost every traveler I know says it's one of their favorite countries.

Barring any huge problems everything should be done by the end of November. I'm going to be in Ohio for Thanksgiving but I'm looking forward to celebrating Christmas in our house after it's (mostly) done.

Life can certainly seem like a maelstrom sometimes—there can be such tangle of goals, desires, worries, uncertainties, and responsibilities swirling in our heads. It doesn't change much as we get older

That can be frightening when symptoms arise out of the blue like that. It's happened to me a few times and it's been such a relief when I've discovered it was nothing serious, either stress or electrolytes

For sure. There are a lot more of those factors at play during this particular cycle too. Yes, as it stands I'm leaning towards pushing for a buy-back from Subaru. We find out today the extent of the problems

It's funny how many vehicles across all makes and models have the same general form factor now. The small SUV/crossover seems to be the vehicle of choice in America. It's surprising when you start paying

We're finding this same thing out with almost every contractor we deal with, to a greater or lesser degree. I've already had to patch the drywall where it's been gouged and some of the wood trim has been

Thank you Luis! We should be finding out today the extent of the problems with the truck. I hope you have a wonderful week!

We humans love to find patterns in things—so much so we see them when they aren't necessarily there. And, you're right, we want to believe so badly that someone knows! If it were that easy there would

Thank you! She's walking on her own now but still recovering. Travel will probably still be out of the question for a while yet. That Covid sure did reek havoc in ways we're still learning about. That's

Slow and steady wins the race they say! One thing this cycle has taught me is it's impossible to predict how the market will move in the short term. All we have to do is zoom out to see that, over time,

There's nothing quite as healing and restorative than nature. Last summer, when my wife was very ill and in a wheelchair, I would wheel her down to the neighborhood park. We'd spend hours feeding the
