At age 58, my ideal week is one in which nothing terrible happens.
Twenty-two years ago today, several thousand Americans, including 343 NYC firefighters, went to work thinking it would be a normal Tuesday and never made it home. That was a horrible week.
No school shootings, no terrible floods, no massive fires, no acts of terrorism, no insurrections, no friends or family diagnosed with cancer, no pandemics, no big news at all. That’s ideal.
If I can also manage to close all three Activity Rings on my Apple Watch every day, that’s a bonus.

Thank you for remember the victims of 9/11.
