Post Op Day 9, home

U-Haul storage closet with stuff in it
We planned our longest visit ever for 2023. An unexpected retina detachment (caught early on August 14), and another unexpected, second, eye surgery September 14. Photo: all our supplies were waiting in the rental van. Cheryl stored them in a rental closet. See you in 2024.
Long line of planes at Denver
In real time, Cheryl is sharing an incredibly long line of Denver’s taxiing planes. Not often you are in this position with your iPhone.

So grateful for the structure and processes we currently have in place.

This first-time storage unit feels like an overdue idea.

Time will tell.

30-second video: First time for everything.

i love writing five daily blogs.

dad

Note: Intentionally didn’t add “differently-themed”.

Why?

Because it’s the first time. There’s a first time for everything. Right?

14-second video: Don’t say what you don’t mean. And vice versa.
20-second video: Final line in this trailer’s opening clip. “You looked like you had it figured.”
12-second video: The wilderness, the true wilderness, is nicknamed “the wild”. Maybe it could also be nicknamed “the lawless”.
4-second video: No one in 2023 can imagine “no man’s land”. Exception being astronauts.
5-second video: Showtime…

i used to wish for boredom. Careful what you wish for. i never said how much.

dad

An hour or maybe a half day of boredom. Maybe, who knows, an entire weekend.

But five weeks?

Not in a million years.

Note: This current boredom is exacerbated by not being able to move.

17-second video: You can take the girl out of Disney but you can’t take the Disney out of the girl.

Slowing down is harder than it looks.

dad

Guessing the concept of time would feel different if you aren’t hoping for something beyond your control to change.

12-second video: Hands down the iPhone camera crushes the WordPress camera.
Halloween decorations in a family room
Happy Autumn. Happy present moment.

In the history of known science, we are alive for the blink of an eye. Do not squander it.
