Blog postSince I’m in the “keel over and die” age demographic for those contracting Covid-19 (commonly known as “stupid virus”) I’ve become a sheltering in place, socially distancing, mask wearing individual (sometimes all three simultaneously) with an abundance of spare time. Some of which I spent reading inspirational quotes by wise scholars such as Benjamin Franklin,… Continue reading Small Adventure In The Covid-19 Shelter In Place Zone: No Excuse Writing!

Blog post“I’m looking for loopholes.” W.C. Fields Fields quipped the above to his attending nurse while on his deathbed. She had found the irreverent and professed atheist comedian reading the Bible. I’m on a yoga mat, not a deathbed, but I found a loophole while using my resistance loops. Resistance bands and resistance loops differ in… Continue reading Little Adventure In The Shelter In Place Zone: Loophole In The Resistance Loops

Blog post“Resistance by definition is self-sabotage.” ― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art. I’m betting that after a 30-minute workout using resistance bands Steve formulated the above quote. Resistance bands are elastic tubing in a series of different tensions in eye-catching, upbeat colors. The band’s resistance builds muscles, or so 223,786 sites claimed after I Googled “resistance bands… Continue reading Little Adventure In The Shelter In Place Zone: Following The Path Of Most Res

Blog post“If you believe everything you read, better not read.” Japanese Proverb Although this is sage advice when informing yourself about Covid-19 and the world’s response, it applied to a smaller problem I encountered while living in the Shelter In Place Zone. If only that wise Japanese guy (or gal) whispered that proverb in my ear… Continue reading Little Adventure In The Covid-19 Shelter In Place Zone: Don’t Believe Everything You Read

Blog post“Journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step.” Lao Tzu I’d like to start that journey, but since the nearest grocery store (essential business) from me isn’t located in Quebec, I’m not going anywhere. (The closed Canadian border also presented an obstacle.) Illinois’ Shelter In Place rule tethered me to my home. I’m grateful that… Continue reading Little Adventure In The Covid-19 Shelter In Place Zone: Craft and Contemplation Time

Blog post“Sometimes an unwanted adventure is thrust upon you. Make the most of it.” Anita Borgo (after she finally commanded Alexa to switch off the TV). A little over a month ago I eagerly anticipated our three week Italian vacation- a week each in Rome, Sicily, and Amalfi. Then the Coronavirus headlines emerged. My thoughts went… Continue reading Little Adventure In The Covid-19 Zone: The Mental Paralysis Side Effect

Blog post“A creative eye transforms the ordinary into an adventure.”- Anita Borgo Navel engineer, Richard James, cast an eye upon the tension spring he developed for a battleship. As the spring, well, sprung after he dropped it, he thought it would be a great toy. In 1943 the Slinky slunk to Gimbels. While installing a light… Continue reading Little Adventure In Game Creating: The Tupperware Challenge

Blog post“Adventures pounce upon the unsuspecting.”
Anita Borgo
One minute I’m minding my own business quietly reading a book when my brain does the “one thing leads to another stream of consciousness” shuffle. The next minute I find myself amid the preposition population knee deep in “between”, “atween”, and “betwixt” wondering why “between” made the cut where as “betwixt” was deemed “archaic”.
The adventure began upon overthinking a clever phrase rather than hurrying the prot -

Blog post“An adventure can be had by simply putting one foot in front of the other and getting on with life (even if said foot sports an injured toe).” – Anita Borgo
Since the initial discomfort of painful creaky knees following my 13K Samaria Gorge hike dissipated, I felt I had dodged a bullet (or more appropriately a boulder).
As I basked in my unscathed status, my big toe on my right foot begged to differ. Actually the bossy digit didn’t beg, but demanded attention at 3 am Monday. < -
