  • 2017-05-22 In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

    Sometimes you see someone you have not seen in a really long time and they have their kid with them and the last time you saw them he or she was just a baby. You realize when you look this snarky teenager up and down that 15 years have gone by. How could that be?…

  • 2017-05-21 Orion’s Belt

    Last night Z and I were watching “Stranger Things” and at the end of one of the episode the camera pans up to the sky. It’s a sky full of stars. My heart sinks just a little. Looking up at the stars was one of those things I loved to do with Matt. Whether it…

  • 2017-04-30 It’s All Just Rotten

    I probably wrote a couple of weeks ago that Matt had texted me a couple of times. And then we had a phone call on random Tuesday night. The next day is when I wrote “Waking Up Wednesday Wondering Why”. I don’t have to wonder more, now. Because now I’ve narrowed it down. Matt wants…

  • 2017-04-28 The Great Unraveling

    I was going to try to sleep on the plane but my brain had other plans for me. I watched the sunset down into the soft desert hills as we ascended to our cruising altitude. I tried to just focus on the beauty and enjoy it but that was not in the cards either. Instead…

    I’m so glad Tuesday is over. I’m so glad it’s Wednesday now and I’m waking up and get the chance to start over. Even more than that, I’m glad I had 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. It was dream-filled sleep, but I’ll take that any night over waking up at 2 or 3 or 4…

  • 2017-04-11 On Music and Memory

    Have you ever heard a song at it reminded you of a person or a place or a time in your life? Of course you have, because we are auditory creatures and we associate things we hear with other experiences we are having at the same time. Tonight, when I was getting steps in at…

  • 2017-04-11 Let’s Be Real, Again

    Let’s call this one the sequel to the post I wrote last Thursday. That one was inspired by the good vibes I was having just being more real in my work environment and not “sugar coating” so much to make appearances. This one might be the flip side of that, which is to say that…
