    2020-09-27 It’s All Just So Rhetorical

    It’s overcast and there’s a soft rain falling on the patio. I can hear low rumbles in the distance letting me know the sky is threatening somewhere, out there. But not here. Here there is a calm that only Sunday morning can bring. The demons of Saturday Night have all stumbled to their beds and…

    2020-09-24 Could it Really Be?…

    The End of Days. Have we finally tipped-toed (or trampled) too far into territory we can’t escape from? Humans and their appetite for self destruction. Their inherent self-centered nature. Their insatiable need for more. We’re they destined for this end from the start of their days? I say “they” and “their” when what I really…

    2020-09-23 Random Facts About Having 4 Cats (Among Other Things)

    Having four cats means you have to scoop litter boxes everyday. This morning I started crying in my kitchen. I was loading the dishwasher when Alexa started telling me about memorial plans for Ruth B.G. as a part of my daily news briefing. I had not really grieved the loss yet. It just happened. I…

    2020-09-22 The Benzo Trap

    How do I feel about benzodiazepines? The title says it but doesn’t do justice for calling it out as the devils candy that it is. It’s evil. It’s a quick fix. An over prescribed band-aid which might have valid clinical use in a limited capacity for something, but not sleep. I’ll skip most of the…

    2020-09-21 What’s the Truth Behind All the Drama

    Last night I had a dream I could not shake. I mean.. I dreamt the dream and woke up multiple times and then fell back to sleep into the same scenario twice. I’ve got a big assignment due for school. Something that’s going to take months of work and I’ve shown up to the scene…

    2020-09-08 The One About Shiny Objects and the Meaning of Life… with Kittens!! 🐱

    (Spoiler alert.. this post is mired in introspection and peripheral questions. Which I’m apparently incapable of avoiding to get to my point.) Today I’m attempting once again to answer life’s ever burning question which is, of course… What’s the meaning and purpose of it all? I’ve been quite distracted lately. Running like that chicken in…

    2020-08-26 A Dreamy Reminder about the Path I’m On, and Why

    Might have had a dream about you last night. Which was really a dream about me where you happened to make an appearance. Engaged in conversation about nothing in particular you gestured to the patch of grey hair that has appeared just above the hairline around your ear. Yeah, we’re all getting there together and…

    2020-08-25 Reading Past Repetition to Get to the Good Stuff

    There’s no way I’m not going to not be tired today. That’s what less than four hours of sleep does to a person.  Impossibly, it was not because of performance anxiety over the two hour training session I’m supposed to conduct today with a group of folks I’ve never met before. Incredibly I could not…
