A Bike Ride –
A reason to skip. I can skip if it is too cold, too wet, or too windy. Temperature and wind must be combined below 40 degrees. Now that I am over 80, I welcome any excuse not to ride my bike in the morning.

A Library Named After Him –
A Land O’Lakes Statement. Met him in his library. Theodore Hesburgh placed academic excellence above being Catholic and influenced many other Catholic universities. So where can you go for a Catholic education?

A Good Thing –
A dog can catch the food before it hits the floor. A cat can catch a rat. A pet cannot replace the child. Not even two of them. I now see older people taking care of their kid’s dog. What happened to grandchildren? Only the pets are multiplying. Math is hard.

A Fly Rod –
A camera and speakers not necessarily personal. Gone fishing. The one thing to do all by myself. The movie, “A River Runs Through It”, convinced me to try it.

A List Or Just One? –
A start with a list: Bishop Barron, Father Leo, Father Goring, Matt Fradd, Raymond Arroyo, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Franciscan University Presents, Glenn Beck,…. Can’t name one. Can’t leave one out. EWTN

A Plane Geometry –
A solid geometry class. Just five of us. We were told how lucky we were to have this young nun who was the only one who could teach it. A logical approach to prove a statement. A truth proven. A geometric argument. An objective outlook. Look for what is true.

A Priority Set –
A second screen for current affairs. That is in third place. Research is 2nd. WordPress is job one. Sometimes I need to turn off the second screen to concentrate on the other..

A Short Timer –
A time to get ready. The time is near for me. Can’t ask for more. Will get what I need. Appreciate what has been given.

A Life In The Hearts I Leave Behind –
A short timer. Exceeding life expectancy. No more doctor visits. No more tests, procedures, pills, etc. Sorry about the mess I leave but I do have to leave. No more fighting, finish the race. and hopefully keep the faith.

A Family Day –
A day to remember our ancestry. Those who have gone before us.
To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.
