  • 2018-01-12 Another Departure from the Norm

    It’s the second day in a row my morning routine is really off. Today it is not because of the weather or school being closed. Today it’s because I am too nice and previously made a commitment to someone to help out with a new business venture he is trying to start and this week…

  • 2018-01-11 First Snow Day of the Year

    My normal routine was interrupted today and mother nature is to blame… or to thank, depending on how you look at it. It’s almost 9AM and I just woke up. I went to sleep just after 11PM last night knowing school was cancelled and the kids would not have to get up. Even with that…

  • 2018-01-10 Random Gym Thoughts

    As I move methodically along atop my beloved elliptical machine and peer out among the crowd today, I somehow have nothing to say. As I look to my left I see a familiar sight. It’s the dude in black running the treadmill on the end of the back row of treadmills. I have my machine…

  • 2018-01-09 Closing the Book On Day 1

    The first day of the rest of my life was a complete success. I only had enough work for a couple hours but that left more time for another Cloud Guru course and this time it was my first lab. So now, yours truly, has an account on AWS and can create users, groups, and…

  • 2018-01-08 Today is a Good Day to Start

    This is one of the tag lines on the blog I started in 2010. I think it’s a thing I tried to tell myself more than saying it to anyone else because I often use excuses why I’m not doing something. * it’s not the start of the week or month. * I’ve got all…

  • 2018-01-07 Sushi Sunday Funday Status Update – A Year in the Rearview

    It’s Sunday January 7th, 2018 and my gym is swarming with resolutionaries but I’m not there yet because I’m still catching up from last week. I’ve not had time to reflect deeply on 2017, but I think that’s ok because I spent so much time on it throughout the year. I was evaluating my status…

  • 2018-01-05 MFA Residency Day 7 – Giving Oneself Permission

    I had a deep desire to stay in bed this morning after I first woke at 5AM and as I lay there with my thoughts, I miraculously fell back asleep. And I dreamt. I didn’t realize I was dreaming until I came to the point in the dream which I recognize now as a reoccurring…

  • 2018-01-06 MFA Residency Day 6 – A Song Stuck On Repeat

    After a while, all the days here seem to run together and there’s no difference from one to the next. It’s a steady rotation that cycles through eating and workshop and lecture and readings and then more eating. There’s lots of eating. I’ve never eaten this regularly since before I left home at 18. I…
