Welcome to the Strive Seek Find Podcast.  I’m your host Chance Whitmore.   This episode marks the  questions  “ Ten questions” episode . The ten questions episodes are based around a simple concept:  Allowing people to talk about the things  they are passionate about.  It can be a job, hobby, cause, or anything in between.  Today I’m joined by  Zac,  an avid expert camper and long time friend.

About a year ago I put up an episode that ended up being my most listened to ever… “Let’s not be an Object Lesson” on the eve of the Presidential elections.   I was worried about reactions to the election and apparently  while I had the time frame off.  The concern was real (thanks a lot  January 6), but we are  just beginning to look at the myriad of ways that our society has be impacted in the last  few years.

So…  life is the most normal that we have seen around my house in the nlast several years.   The latest sign of this is… everyone…  Has activities.   Basketball, dance, and martial arts (my daughter is already groaning at my Kung fu jokes. So when there was a chance to sneak away for an hour  this weekend.  We ran with it.  

What was supposed to be 3 quick winery pickups (so that Amy could pick up her wine club wines) turned int to a sit down and discuss tasting at  one of our wonderful local wineries..

Parenting  at the best of times is a dubious adventure wrapped up in stress excitement,  guilt,  and ,  a large  helping of “What the hell are they thinking?   I’m sure that’s not ever going to change 

As kids grow up  one of our jobs  is to know when its time to back off and let go…. And when it is time to keep the  framework so they have structure.

The old saying is  the squeaky wheel gets greased.  To certain extent that is true, but somewhere along the line  people have translated this to mean  “Whoever screams loudest and longest get’s there way.    And honestly,   that’s problematic.

Welcome to the Strive Seek Find Podcast I’m your host, Chance Whitmore.  Life is easy when everything is hitting on all cylinders…  These days it often is not.   This week, as we  return to school I’m reminded of this very fact.    How  we deal with parts of our life being spinning (nearly) out of control will whether we  control the insanity… or  collapse under the strain of a life stretched completely out of shape.  And it  that makes you think.

 I have to say  hearing the phrase “well it’s the new normal”  makes me want to scream.  Not sure why.  Perhaps because we aren’t close to stability or that we are tone deafly marching forward in denial, but either way it has joined my list  of most hated phrases.   So today, rather than claiming things are  back to normal, I thought reminder of where we are at might be in order.

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks in the Whitmore Household.  School starts with all the chaos that ensues as we moved from one schedule to five distinctly separate schedule.   At  the best of times it’s a sprint  and worst its  running through the forest at night with your eyes closed. 

And then the special chaos arrived.  

Called to school on day 4 to pick up my daughter  because she wasn’t feeling well.   Normal year no big deal    This year… tested… and positive for Covid.    3 days after my body started to crash..  and my positive test soon followed.  

What  followed has made for a discombobulated and interesting week.   So as I sit her on my 7th.. or is it 8th day.. locked in my bedroom  I may sound a little preachy today… take it for what its worth.
