Work Stress
OK, How did the NYT read my mind?? For me the feeling is more resignation and acceptance than dread. The truly scary thing is the realization that time is our most limited resource, and that limit is very finite. We just don’t know in advance the quantity of hours or days or years left to us.
The question, then, is how to spend that time.

Teen who killed dad angry he couldn’t use Internet via kwout
I’ve heard of internet addiction, if that’s the story here this kid had it really bad. Or perhaps it was just a teenager vs. parent argument over behavior gone bad.

Couple Attacked by Bees in Tempe, AZ
Spring has sprung in the Phoenix area and the africanized killer bees are becoming active, I guess. Remember when honey bees were regarded as a good species? Hope those folks recover OK.

Birthday Party - Staying in Touch with Family
On Sunday we went to a birthday party for Gary’s uncle Bob in Cottonwood, AZ. I had a great time reconnecting with some family members we don’t see often. I found it quite joyful. Some live out of state, some in the next town over from us. One gentleman said to me, “I have not seen you in a while”. When I remarked that we live within a 30 minute drive, he said his brother lives a mile from him and they only see each other once a year. Everyone agreed it was wonderful to have a family gathering that was not a funeral. Gary’s mom was one of eight siblings of which 3 are alive. The family went through a period where we were attending one funeral after another.
Gary and I decided that we will make a real effort to get out of the pattern of not visiting family. There’s something deeply primal and natural about being with family.
