CAREGIVING: Last night we were watching TV. Our usual routine is to watch the news (MSNBC or CNN) before dinner. Then we watch something entertaining on our Roku box before I clean Kathy’s teeth and get her into bed. We got caught up on all the back seasons of Downton Abbey and Foyle’s War that way.

Everything Takes Longer
MUSIC: This song is my personal addendum to Murphy’s Law. “Everything Takes Longer. Everything Costs More” is part of Lehndorff’s Law and the reason my design business is such a huge success. Oh, wait… But this song seems to be my mantra of the day. Love on the Line by Peter Lehndorff Peter Lehndorff: guitar, vocals Jeff Pevar: electric… Read more →
