Recently I wrote a blog story reflecting on a hilariously terrifying encounter with a self-diagnosed medical condition of mine – ophidiophobia. For what I am sure was a very small handful of readers who missed this article due to vacations – or for the medically uninformed – this means I have a terrifying fear of snakes – easily among my top 10 fears in this world. For about a week after my snake encounter, I found every reason under the sun to avoid my regular pandemic-driven self-improvement exercise routine. I would sit at home imagining my next outing, coming right back to that spot on the trail and seeing Mr. Snake again or, worse yet, seeing a bigger and more menacing companion.
“Thank you so much for your application for (YOUR DREAM JOB!!). You have tremendous skills and expertise.

Competition is fierce and numerous candidates possess the specific skills the organization wants and needs.
Our family recently returned from our annual escape to Lake Gaston. Waterskiing, wake surfing, paddle boarding, swimming, diving, and just plain floating are the primary activities of choice for our crew most days.An obligatory fishing line is generally cast a time or two most years, but this year our son Carson decided that he was going to catch some fish. Earlier in the pandemic he read Jeremy Wade’s How to Think Like a Fish. Santa brought him a fancy fishing pool and tackle box. Before our trip he visited the Bass Pro Shop to hunt for special lures. He was ready.
