Baby Boomers watch, or will watch, parents and older relatives handle their aging process. Lunchtime in my in-laws living room. As they nap I write. We sit here, in the stillness. TV on for background noise.

Wife and son shopping for food, essentials.

Last night, they expressed their regret from not moving forward with plans I drew for a mother-in-law apartment adjacent to our home.

Dear Son, promise to never be intimidated by someone else’s success.

The fact that I ran a routine sub-six minute mile at age 53, without killing myself this morning… this is the sort of thing that happens when you just keep moving forward.
