That was just one of the things that TMFKATB had to share in this week's letter. And follow up banter. A lot went on in the past week for him and he did a pretty darn good job of keeping us filled in. Here are some of the highlights:. He's got a point. Our time in this life is not infinite. We better make the best of it by ...Marri...

From TMFKATB was a bit of a breathtaker for the stunningly patient and mighty fine SML and me. He got online much later than has been his pattern, which was a bit of a clue for us. While on our respective devices, we read the letter together and we both drew in a couple of deep breaths as we got into the meat of his weekly missive. Got married. ...

Into the lyons den. Find a place on the sofa, get comfortable, and enjoy the read. Yep, this pretty much sums it up. TMFKATB surprised us by checking in about an hour earlier than normal today. I got a quick head's up email first, saying things were crazy this week with people celebrating Semana Santa (Holy Week). So in spite of that, his weekly letter. A dagger to a word nerd's heart. Oh, the soul-crushing agony. It's no secret that I harbor a wicked case of bibliophilia. One of the things I like doing ...

I may be wrong here, which will come as a shock to none of you who find yourselves ensconced on the couch here in the Den, but it is my assertion that more people here in the U.S. come together at Thanksgiving than any other holiday. To see if I'm off base, just for giggles, blow by your nearest commercial airport today and take in the shenanigans. I'll close with this:. 8220;I give thanks to m...

Into the lyons den. Find a place on the sofa, get comfortable, and enjoy the read. I came across this quote as I watched the credits scroll to a not awful movie that didn't get a lot of play called " The Good Lie. When you think about it, the proverb makes perfect sense in so many settings. I thought about when I was running consistently (meaning when I was thinner and had lost my spectacular man rack #dadbodsrule), I always ran further and better when I ran with my Wheaton, IL running group. The childre...

To find the gem found on the left that I posted on the Instagrams. Some context and other things to consider:. This was thirty, 30, count 'em, thirty years ago. You bet, in a...

Into the lyons den. Find a place on the sofa, get comfortable, and enjoy the read. As noted last week, in my body's ongoing and ugly quest to remind me that I am middle-aged and getting older, I had a tooth fall out as easily as the leaves raining down from the trees here in Connecticutistan. This led to an emergency visit to the dentist which then brought me to today's dental delight, a root canal.
