#4 & #76 in progress

#4: “Write one true sentence” Each Month & #76: Write One Leaf aka a page. Both goals remain strongly on track. When I was a screenwriter, I carried around a small notebook to record the constant stream of noise that filtered through my brain. Whether I was seeing fully formed scenes or hearing bits and pieces of dialogue, it was a constant experience. When I…

Easter

An incredible brunch followed by a competitive easter hunt that resulted in Rosie finding the “Golden Egg”. We then moved on to the corn hole tourney where Sean and mostly Kim breezed through the competition .  We ended the night with another decadent dinner, but I was too overwhelmed to take a picture.

Family Steak Night

I took the pictures. Devin was in the bathroom.

We found the miracle worker. Brittany, Sonia and I went to see a physical therapist/chiropractor who, in one session realigned Brittany’s pelvis and made her one inch taller.  He completely relieved Sonia’s and my TMJ.  And most importantly for me, my back pain is gone and I can’t help but stand up straight.

#97 Remove a tattoo. Twenty Five Twenty years ago I got this tattoo (my sister reminded me I was 23). When deciding on what to get, my eighteen twenty three year old logic was to get something without meaning because you never know how things will play out. But it’s the lack of meaning, as well as not going well with loafers, that I had my…
