Recently, I flew from Washington, DC, through Charlotte, North Carolina, to a city on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. While in the airports waiting for my flights, of course I did a lot of people watching — or in my case — looking for the occasional boot sighting.
I am pleased, at least during winter, there were more boots on men’s feet than anticipated. Of course there were a few dodo birds who…

Yep, my spouse got it first… a cold. Then despite as careful as I was with hand-washing and decontaminating doorknobs, I came down with it, too, on my recent business trip. Bleccch… traveling with a cold is no fun.
When we speak, it comes out…

As you read this, I am on a brief business trip to a state on the southeastern Atlantic Coast. I am really busy, and do not have time to write and submit posts while I am traveling.
Check back again by Thursday. Thank you for your patience.
Life is short: working hard is fun!
My spouse is the good kind of neatnick. He detests clutter, and has helped me mend my former ways of “file by pile” as well as “boot storage = where you took them off last.” (giggle.)

During my time off, my twin brother and I …

Hey there, this is J. I am BHD’s twin brother. My wife and I are visiting him again this Christmas. It has been a much better visit than last year, when I came after the holiday to spend a month helping to care for my brother-in-law during about the worst of the downside of a relapse of his ongoing infections.
This year, once again, I am watching the most expert organizer and a man of exceptional patience “do his thing.” What’s up?

My spouse had a long list of chores to do on the day after Christmas. Fortunately, we got the chores done rather quickly.
My brother and his wife wanted visit some of our family, my mother-in-law had that hungry look in her eye. So I tossed my brother the keys to my truck and said, “it’s yours for the rest of the day.”
I got busy feeding the bottomless pit … I mean my mother-in-law. But after lunch, the sun was brilliant and it was unusually warm for this time of year. My spouse graciously suggested,
