The Olympians
I started on the path to the National Senior Games because it was coming to Cleveland at the perfect time. I would turn 50 the year of qualifying through the State games, so could compete. I exercised and practiced at our High School track and felt ready to succeed. Then the nightmare hit….. I strained…

Bzzzzz
There is a lot around us that is a mystery. I hope you take some time on occasion to marvel at the wonder of it all. I have a picture on my site showing a fly caught in a swirl of a plant. Now how does that plant move fast enough to do that? Anyone…

To The Zoo
We love going to the zoo with our grandkids. It feels like they are such teachable moments. But what is really going on in the zoo? Are there teachable moments taking place which we do not recognize? Maybe, maybe not, but let’s try to imagine. It makes me think of all of the movies where…

Group Chat
I have been playing on-line games for a few years. Some offer group efforts so that players can work together. This usually includes group chat. A couple of times I have grown close to the players in my group. I learned many of their stories. I got to meet a really hilarious guy from Sweden,…

Puzzle Anyone?
Have you ever seen the game Rush Hour? It is actually more like a puzzle. You are given a set of vehicles on a grid with one opening. Your task is to move the vehicles until you can slide a designated car out the exit and off the grid. It is a puzzle because you are…
