Now

This is what I'm up to at the moment (updated August 2, 2025).

Currently reading: "Basin and Range" by John McPhee.

I've been running quite a bit this year, and am currently training for my first half marathon trail run on August 30th.  I'm eating pretty well and I had a 10 mile run last weekend.  I'm feeling good about it.

We've had a lot of work done on the house this year, adding a full bathroom in the basement, and we're most of the way through a remodel of the main bathroom.  It will be nice to have these new spaces as we settle into a new school year and another northern Ohio fall/winter cycle.  

My mom is working with hospice and end-of-life planning.  She's still living at home in her independent living apartment.  While she's generally not experiencing any pain, she is finding it more difficult to get around due to shortness of breath.  She started using home and portable oxygen a couple of weeks ago.  We've been having regular zoom calls with distant family and friends, which is nice for all of us. 

What's a Now page? The idea of the "now" page is described here:  https://nownownow.com/about  It's intended to quickly give someone to get a sense of what you're up to.  (What would you tell a friend you hadn't seen in a year?)
