2018-07-11 Preparations

I’m listening to what the Universe is DJ-ing up for me today. A shuffle from the master play list. Add a little caffeine and see how far that gets me. Yeah, I know, I know, I just swore off caffeine a few days ago. You think I would have learned from past experiments that’s a…
2018-07-10 T-Minus Four Days

Four more days until Summer Residency for my MFA starts (Masters of Fine Arts in Writing) … woohoo. It’s a ten day retreat and break from the norm with a full itinerary of lectures and workshops and other events. This will be my second Residency and the best part about that is that the unknowns…
2018-07-09 Now Ain’t That Something Else!

I typically stick to my own life and times here in this space, but there’s a fascinating development elsewhere that I can’t help but want to ponder and share. My caveat to the following is that it’s not a comparison or a contest. It’s the difference between apples and something that’s just bananas. I just…
2018-07-07 He’s Not Wrong

I met up with my friend Josh for a coffee late yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve seen him in weeks… life, you know. With Josh it might be a different day, but the story is always the same. [x]Girl complications [x]Diet analysis [x]Exercise routines and goals [x]The employment puzzle [x]Philosophy and the meaning of…
2018-07-06 All’s Well That Ends Well

Yesterday I was in a funk for most of the day and felt highly UN-motivated about pretty much everytging. Then about 3:30 in the afternoon things started to turn around. What happenened? Well I picked my kids up from their dads house. A very not-noteworthy event but I dare say it was not a coincidence…
2018-07-05 One Day After Yesterday

I ended on such a high note yesterday. It was a total mic. 🎤 drop moment which begs the question… what happens now? What happens after the peak of something. Do you plateau at that height or is there some post apex drop back down to reality? Well I’m not about to stop blogging now…
2018-07-04 Satisfaction Achieved

Everything about today was extremely satisfying. It started with waking up with my love an having some great QT with him before his boys got home. We laid in bed longer than if it was a work day of course and then started some 4th of July prep before sitting down to a nice late…
2018-07-02 Traditions and Change

I’ve arrive to the gym late today, determined to get some steps in before heading “home” to do more work. It looks like some of the other usual suspects are also getting a late start… the Man in Black (in white today), one of the Steves, and a person I *think* might be Bird Girl…
2018-07-01 Holy Shit, It’s July

It should come as no surprise since 1.) Yesterday was June 30th and 2.) It’s felt like July for weeks now. I haven’t done any biking or tennis this year at all cuz it’s either too hot and humid or it’s pouring down rain. Is this Nebraska or some jungle deep in the heart of…
2018-06-30 On Being Insignificant

At the feedback reading I attended this week there was a point in the conversation where they were trying to transition the discussion from one writer to another and one of the moderators posed the question, “Why is it so difficult for people to open up and be vulnerable with their lives in their writing”.…
2018-06-29 Part 2 (the Rest of the Story)

Where oh where did I leave off? Oh yes faithful happy-hour goers at the Railcar catching up over delicious cheeseburgers and glasses of wine… …Soon after the second glass Sam and I parted ways. I was on a tight schedule to get to my next event by 7PM. I scooted my booty downtown so I…
2018-06-29 The Railcar Cheeseburger and Other Random Unrelated Drama.. 4 🍔👍🏻

Yesterday I met one of my former coworkers for a happy hour drink at a place called the Railcar. I probably meet up with Her about once every six weeks or so. We first met at my last job and as fate would have it, we started on the exact same day in 2012. We…
