shirtless man in his dining room reading newspaper — This is the Jack that our Son’s Teddy Bear is named after. He passed down his shirtless ways to me. Catch the 1967?

Growing up shirtless on hot summer days was common. Every boy i knew did the same. None of our parent’s had air-conditioning or a swimming pool.

Also, in the early days of our neighborhood (the mid-late 1960’s), only one house (of 30), the original farmhouse, had shade. The old farmhouse had one large maple in the backyard, and one in the front yard.

Not gonna lie

Medical provider, self check in screen — Yesterday. Made the appointment before the eye exam. Was not expecting encouraging news. And wanted to over-focus on bloodwork to look for clues.

i ain’t a Saint, but i dang sure try to always excel at the basics.
dad

Not gonna lie.

When Quest’s email for 30% off the comprehensive blood test arrived a few days ago, i finally jumped on it after deleting similar emails for a few years.

This blood work, using insurance, would have to wait until March 2024. Past insurance requests for “extra” or “sooner” (like January or February) have been denied.

i do not want to wait four more months to see under the hood.

So, the timing was pushing me to pay out of pocket. It’s an expense that feels 100% like a lifetime investment.

Trying to play it cool

9-second video: Trying to stay cool, calm, and collected.

Life gives random tests we all want to pass, but never want to take. Build your foundation to pass these tests when they come. Bank on them coming when you aren’t ready.

Nearly four months ago, i easily recall how in 30 seconds i surrendered to a possible reality of permanently losing sight in one eye.

We are here

Washington State sign — The original selfie was using a tripod and a self-timer. And running from the tripod to the photo spot. i did that here.

We had $200 cash. We had unlimited time. We had imagination. We enjoyed having freedom.
dad

We literally planned the days the night before, or in the mornings while making breakfast.

Oldest or youngest, physically?

Car Gas line leak — The critter-made fuel line hole created this leak while fueling at gas pump.

Move, fuel, and rest your body. Do the daily reps. Until death do you part.
dad

Better to be the oldest person in the gym or the youngest person in the nursing home?
