Thank you for a poignant blog, Fred.

Time. How many hours spent rushing through to the next thing? My friend Dr. Paul Williams always says, "We never know how soon it will be too late." I always listened and agreed. Now I really get it.

Sporting events.
Restaurants.
Vacations.

No, just sayin’

wow....
Hugs, and our healthcare providers and jobs came first to mind.
That my parents and our kids in other places are ok.
WiFi Lol.
Paul running out to the grocery store.
Dinner on the table.
Sunsets
Walks in fresh air.
Long talks with friends.
Gotham meetings.
Dinner at the bar in our neighborhood restaurant.
Thanks for the opportunity to pause and remember.

Mostly Number One and the US Constitution, including the Bill of Rights.

You’re a good sport!

NORMALCY!!!

So I’m up in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Northern California . It’s an isolated location that has a history of mystery . The rumors self perpetuate. I’ve been up here going on 30 years . The citizens live up to the reputation . The way of life strikingly different . We are removed from the banal life of Gothamites and life in the city. In a way we live by our own Bill of Rights . Shoot first and ask questions later maybe ? Nothing much changes up here . The shelves are always stocked . The black squirrels hang out with the gray squirrels. Not many people up here to create chaos . No competition for ventilators . You can even order groceries on line and have them delivered to your car . So it’s a different world . I’m not without empathy for you Gotham . It’s a complicated world . Choices and necessity play the big role . The consequences are dramatic. We come into this life fragile and helpless . And we go out the same way . In between ? It depends on the choices one makes . And so I sit up here the master of my universe .

I take nothing for granted other than who I am and that I love live and those around me

Realize that the last years have made me even more aware of the fact that nothing can or should be taken for granted

Exactly my point!
