All these years I've been running from my fears.

So this is the New Year. And I don't feel any different? Actually, I do feel very, very different. My health has been affected during the past twelve months. Is that a reason I have not been running? Or an excuse? Who cares?

Yes, I have been a little winded recently, but then we spent an extended weekend in NYC, walking for miles a day, and I felt great. So, can I keep up some kind of exercise regime -- any exercise regime -- through the winter months? So many questions.

What was 2022? My last year of grad school. When we started ignoring the pandemic, oh and I got Covid. My retina detached. My wife was loving her work, my son chose jazz and our eldest exploded as an artist.
