When Will We Get Back To Precedented Times?

Posted on August 16, 2020 by Coco

Last week in an address to the partners, the Chairman of my law firm said, “When the pandemic ends–and it will end–….” I’m sure his plans for the future are important, but what I really needed to hear was the reminder that eventually, someday, this too shall pass, and we will get back to more precedented times.

The overuse of “unprecedented times” in every conversation and news story bothers me because there are much worse “challenging times” in the history of human civilization, but this meme is one of my favorites.

Pelothon 2020 Week 4 Workouts

Posted on August 9, 2020 by Coco

Week four of Peloton’s 2020 Pelothon challenge was a sprint to the finish. The challenge goal was to take one of six specific classes. Sounds easy enough, right?

Anyone who’s ever organized a group activity will know that with about 270,000 people participating(!), it’s never easy! 😉

Posted on August 7, 2020 by Coco

This August may be like no other, but Deborah and I are happy to be welcoming you to the August Ultimate Coffee Date. While we both are still practicing social distancing, we urge you to visit the other blogs in the link up so we can get together virtually. An atypical August calls for atypical amicability wherever we can spread kindness, don’t you think?

Pelothon 2020 Week 3 Workouts

Posted on August 2, 2020 by Coco

Week three of Peloton’s 2020 Pelothon challenge was a marathon, not a sprint. The challenge goal was to do any Peloton workout on 5/7 days. As hooked as I am on Peloton, it should come as no surprise that I earned my badge by Friday.

Reading the fine print, I see that while I’ve earned my “challenge” badge, I won’t get the “special events” badge until Monday.

July Pandemic Runfessions

Posted on July 31, 2020 by Coco

In July, my church started holding services outside. We wear masks, set up our own lawn chairs more than 6 feet apart, and participate in the order of Holy Communion–with no one partaking of the bread or wine. Our service includes a confessional prayer, but I still need to visit the runfessional at Marcia’s Healthy Slice in order to cleanse my soles. July has been a long month, so there’s plenty to runfess.

Deborah and I are pushing the August Ultimate Coffee Date to August 7/8/9. We’ll open the (link-up) doors next Friday, and keep the coffee brewing all weekend.
