If it’s Wednesday at 7:00 pm, you can usually find me stepping into the prayer room at BLC. Our prayer group has been meeting every Wednesday for over 10 years now. What do we pray about? We pray for our church and the people in it. For the world and the people in it. For those coming […]

I have 2 main goals for this year. One is to walk more, and the other is to write more. At first it may seem that I’m working at cross purposes, and sometimes I am. I had trouble getting my steps in today because I spent time at a writers’ group. But more often the writing and […]

Have you ever had to take a detour? The bridge over the Erie Canal on Canandaigua Rd. is closed indefinitely for structural reasons. Although it’s inconvenient at times, I’d rather drive a few miles out of my way than end up as a highway statistic. Besides, detours give you a chance to see something […]

The 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth. I’ve been reading a lot of Ronald Reagan quips today. Many of them are very funny. But I haven’t seen quoted something I read a long time ago in an interview he did. I don’t remember the exact words, but the interviewer asked President Reagan how he made […]

Friday is all about anticipation. Anticipation of: Sleeping late, Wearing sweats all day, Stepping out for the evening. It’s the jack-in-the-box just as the handle starts to turn. It’s the baby, head first in the birth canal. It’s the horse trotting up to the starting gate. Yes, we know that reality often does not meet […]

SNOW DAY (or not) Baking cookies is my favorite snow day activity, so even though technically the storm passed us by, I got busy in the kitchen. And at one point both the roads and the sky were clear so I even got to the gym. Then I sat in my kitchen drinking coffee […]

Today I stepped into the Rabbit Room at The Lower Mill in Honeoye Falls. (I really wanted to say I hopped in.) The mill dates back to 1827 and is on the national registry of historic places. Once a working grist mill, it’s now part restaurant, part party house, part gallery, and part art studio. Check […]

Today I did NOT want to get out of bed, and I did NOT want to go to the gym. After about 15 minutes of arguing in my head, I got up and went – probably because I knew that today was the end of my first month of stepping and time for my first report card. […]
