Crazy to think that 7 years after I first ventured out on the water with ROW, I was back at it again today for a rather chilly and wet–but fun–boathouse and launch orientation for coaches and coxswains. Today had me remembering that first time I went out on the water in an ‘Eight’ and that […]

1992 was all about motion. A stop in Chicago to visit Elyse on the train to Denver. Spending January thru April working as a ski check girl and living in base housing for employees at Keystone Mountain in Summit County, Colorado. A trip to Atlanta to see Kerry for a visit. Continued that trip on […]
Back in the spring of 2013, I mentioned that thanks to my Lupron Depot shot every three months bringing on menopause, I was experiencing major night sweats and they were not only making me miserable, but they were enhancing my snoring. In turn, my snoring was driving Terry crazy. Over the years, he had tried […]
In late January 2020, I joined a number of my ROW teammates to train to become UCanRow2 indoor rowing coaches. The idea was that member coaches could take some of the weight off of the other ROW coaches (non-member) and increase our options. Little did any of us realize that within 2 months, 5 of […]
I had an appointment today with the Midwest Dental Sleep Center. Their doctors were the ones who hooked me up 7 years ago with this super cool device that helps me deal with my severe sleep apnea and get a good night’s sleep–without a super annoying C-pap machine. I hadn’t been back for a check-up […]
Have a penny, pick it up. All day long, you’ll have good luck. This was my 10th of the 52 blog posts I wrote in 2020 to celebrate my turning 52–and the first post to mention COVID. The weekend of March 13-15, 2020 was such an intense weekend of unknowns! Little did I know that […]
So, 2020, was not a meltdown year for me. It was challenging, don’t get me wrong, but just about everyone was going through COVID craziness and so I don’t look back on that year or 2021 as one of the lower points in my personal life. On the other hand, re-reading this post from March […]
“We must, we must, we must increase our bust.” from Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume Celebrating a visit to Second Act last week, where I picked up a new batch of bras and a prosthesis, here is a post from January 2020. Judy Blume was definitely a favorite writer of […]
Here is a repost from March 2, 2015 that still resonates. I finally saw the movie ‘Gravity’ recently with Sandra Bollack and George Clooney. It’s been in our DVR que since October, but obviously other things took precedence. I was fascinated that a movie with what seemed like a limited scope and tiny cast could […]
I’m personally coming out of a very grueling winter and school year. There, I said it. I know many of us are not in good places right now. COVID fatigue. Cancer fatigue. Shock at what is going on in Ukraine. Continued thinking that we can just throw out what we have experienced these past 2 […]
