Mother's Day at the Nook

 If I Can Make My Boy Love Reading

(with apologies to Emily Dickinson)

If I can make my boy love reading,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching
Or cool one pain,
Or help one grinning chimp 
Unto his book habit without a bargain,
I shall not live in vain.

Happy International Women's Day!

Happy International Women's Day! Here's to strong women: May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them (sharing my March TBR pile).

Half-time!

I am halfway to reaching my KPI of becoming a centenarian, testing Dan Buettner’s Blue Zones theory that people can live healthy, meaningful, and productive lives up to their hundredth birthday.

If there’s anything that the ancient Romans taught us, a great empire can rise from the rubble and back to the rubble it can crumble. But still, in a half century, a team can soar again to win the Euro 2020. Anything is possible. In half a century, humankind has made the big leap from landing on the moon to joyriding in space.

I’ve learned that it is efficient to travel alone though I have also discovered that it is not much of a joyful ride.  Thank you, family and friends for the journey together and I’m hoping we’ll have opportunities to do carpool karaoke in the next two score and a decade (be it in an electric car or an autonomous vehicle).

Cheers.
