Dear Friends, I wish my title had more of a positive tone to it, but since I like to make lemonade out of lemons, it gives me a chance to talk about “sour” moments and how I find redemption. I hesitate to even mention this subject (the lost golf swing) because it seems so trite … Continue reading Gremlins, Goblins & Vultures (the saga of the lost golf swing and what matters most)

Ukulele Torture…and Rapture
Dear Friends, Glimpsing into the world of retirement, I mentally listed ways in which I might challenge myself and seek new adventures in learning.
