On Being the Same

Boy do we miss going to the movies.  Late last year, Leah and I discovered $5 movie night at the movie theater closest to her house on Tuesday nights. Every week (pre-COVID), I would drive from Kansas City to Omaha from Tuesday-Thursday to work with Leah. This was perfect. I looked up movie times before … [Read more…]

Right now, comparison might be winning. We are spending the majority of our time in our homes with the primary connection to the outside world living in the box that is in our hands: our phones.

“I was heartbroken. But I didn’t want to tell mom that.” This month our world has laughed in the face of projected timelines. Calendar dots continue to be re-arranged, re-scheduled, and the toughest of all, cancelled. Mark and Leah manage a long-distance relationship. Mark lives in Texas and Leah in Nebraska. Their eyes are always … [Read more…]
