#50by50 #26 – Go tobogganing

The PolyBlog
March 19 2018

Sometimes, the simplest things are the best. There’s something pure and innocent about tobogganing, and so I put it on my list awhile ago. Now, I’m not the most active of people. Flopping on a toboggan and bouncing around on the way down isn’t exactly likely to be the pinnacle of grace for me, but who cares? It’s fun. Back at the start of January, we picked up another toboggan and headed over to Bruce Pit — our toboggan hill of choice.

As always, I had a blast. Sometimes I’m too wrapped up in other parts of my life to give in to the base pleasure, or I worry I’ll be too cold, whatever. I was planning to do snow angels too, but forgot. Oh well. Next year’s list, perhaps. 🙂

#50by50 #25 – Go look at Xmas lights

The PolyBlog
March 18 2018

While some of the 50by50 list is about big things or trips, or organizational things for me to improve my life a bit, there are others that are more “simple pleasures”. Some are simply about food — an 8-layer nacho recipe, for example. Or reading a book in a new genre. This one is even more basic. I like Xmas lights. I don’t have them on our house just cuz I’m a lazy git with little talent for ladders and hooks and things, oh my, but I really quite like them. We’ve been out to Orleans to see the one … Continue reading →

  • A little temporary website dramaSeptember 21, 2023
    So a funny thing happened on the way to the forum…or some such quote. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been kicking up a little dust in the old website, uploading a whack of galleries from Flickr and embedding them on my website. I did one yesterday evening, which basically involves about 11 steps: However, … Read more
  • Just a piece of the pitchSeptember 21, 2023
    So, from the earlier post about not hitting the curve, I’m now a day later, and I’m out of some of the initial funk. First and foremost, of course, I found the missing parts for the exercise bike so the big “spiral” moment was mostly averted. Second, and almost equally important, I had the guy … Read more

  • I can’t hit the curve ballSeptember 20, 2023
    No, I’m not talking about baseball. I’m talking about mental ones. I set my new 60×60 goals and they’re pretty ambitious. It’s helped me get some momentum going, feeling a bit better about things, a bit of hope and optimism, which is not my natural state. And we hit it out of the park as … Read more
