The Waiting Game

May 6, 2020July 1, 2020 Jo Tango

I cannot remember if it is week number eight or nine of the virus lock-down. But, I suppose, it really doesn’t matter. When most days feel largely the same, I’m not sure if marking time is that useful. On the home front, Mrs. T. put up a chores schedule, and assignments, on a white board.

On Friday morning, I was on a Zoom call with members of my parish men’s group. We used to meet every other week. We now convene electronically each Friday. Some of us are crazy-busy. Others, not so much. Many are in-between. We all agreed, however, that this was a Lent we would never forget. In

Maybe, it’s because I’m over 50 now. Maybe, it’s because my older children are no longer children and are quite persuasive. But, I’m finding myself streamlining. One of our children, for example, has given up red meat to combat climate change. Another child has become a vegetarian for ethical reasons. And, over time, our family

Good Judgment

December 18, 2019January 4, 2020 Jo Tango

It is one of my favorite times of the year: easing into the Christmas and holiday season. Our family will all be together this year for Christmas, which is not guaranteed now that our children are older. One of our college-aged kids is home. I pick up the other one later today, after my last
