Snow Day

March 14, 2017 Jo Tango

Well, the snow blizzard right now is hitting full-force. My business meetings have converted to phone calls. And, we all are home riding out the storm. Thankfully, I hit the gym early this morning and also went to the grocery store to stock up on various desserts. Mrs. T’s sister and her family from Bozeman,

The End

March 1, 2017March 2, 2017 Jo Tango

In a weird coincidence, I this afternoon attended Ash Wednesday services and just finished updating my end-of-life letter to my family. At the service, you’re reminded that “you’re dust and to dust you will return.” It is a traditional way to kick off Lent, which begins six weeks of prayer, fasting and alms giving. I

Well, our long weekend is over, and it’s time for some emails and work. Also, the ol’ blog felt like it was in need of a refresh. So, this morning, I downloaded a free WordPress theme, clicked a few boxes, picked some new widgets, created a free logo, and let it rip. I still cannot

Happiness by Age

February 21, 2017August 28, 2022 Jo Tango

Here’s a cool chart. It measures happiness by age and comes from the National Academy of Sciences via an article in The Atlantic. I wonder what causes the uptick? Acceptance of one’s self? Seeing your kids “launch” into the world? Wisdom? Being grateful for the basic things, such as food, shelter, health and family/friends? I
