How essentially being forced into stretching has driven home plenty of spots where I could use some figurative, as well as literal flexibility. #health #wellness #flexibility tinyurl.com/48sfun7m

My patience reservoir has always been like a sputtering, regularly leaking engine. And taking a long road trip with my wife and 94-year-old father-in-law offers an ideal form of much-needed maintenance. #travel #patience #gratitude tinyurl.com/2zhf2kcm

Enjoying listening to Peter Hammill's massive catalog - starting with "Nadir's Big Chance" and "Enter K." Thanks @JoeBanksWriter for exposing me to him. And you music heads out there should check out Peter Hammill. He might become your favorite new artist you've never heard of.
