  • “You and I have memories, longer than the road that stretches out ahead” is such a simple yet powerful lyric that captures how I feel about my relationship with my wife. Knowing we have more time in the past then what is left for us in the future is both amazing and daunting. Realizing how many great memories we made through those years. All of that captured in one line of one of their lesser songs. But, if they aren’t your cup of tea, that’s cool too.




  • I should have mentioned:

    1. This is the first time I separated all the pieces by color/region before assembly and I was amazed at how much faster it went together.

    2. Instead of doing the edges first I started at the center (lighthouse) and followed with the trees and sky. This allowed me to keep the top of the puzzle closer to me and push it away as I worked my way down to the sea. I found this reduced the time I usually spent standing, hunched over the puzzle. I am amazed it took me 40 years of jigsaws to figure this out.

    3. The sea and rocks took way longer than I thought. It was brutal.
