  • 2019-01-12 A Year in Review – Farewell 2018

    As predicted, I’m slow to take a good long, wide-net look at 2018. I’m just now starting to consider what is worth looking in the rear view for. Of course there are the easy and obvious things, like my measured stats.. steps, sleep, heart rate, weight, yadda-yadda, woof-woof. A big part of me is like…

  • 2019-01-10 They Can’t All Be Winners Part 2 – Victory Dancing 💃💃💃

    Another title .. another spoiler alert. Today’s post is the saucy conclusion to yesterday’s riveting tale about my broken water heater. As one might guess from the dancing, my problem has been resolved. Since I’m leading with the conclusion, the only thing left to write for this story is the post-climax resolution where all unanswered…

  • 2019-01-09 They Can’t All Be Winners

    That title is a serious Spoiler Alert…. this may not be the blog post you are looking for. I don’t have any Jedi mind powers to dissuade you from reading it, but if you were with me in 2017 when I dedicated several days worth of posts documenting my saga with the thermostats in my…

  • 2019-01-08 I’ll Get it Together, Just Not Today

    This morning I’m back to my “home” routine, which I have not had for a week. No. For a week I’ve been in my alternate reality with a foot in a life I’m about to have. Not only did I not have my morning routine but it was also a “holiday” week which I took…

  • 2019-01-04 Dream-State Writing

    Twice yesterday, from different sources, I was given the advice of writing first thing in the day. The first instance was in a lecture where the person giving the talk was explaining that when a person first wakes up, and their mind is still transitioning from the subconscious state of dreaming to the conscious state…

  • 2019-01-02 Finding the “Write” Space

    Here we are again, second day of the year and I’m currently in the lecture hall/conference room biding my time until I meet with my mentor from last semester for lunch. I’m trying not to be nervous. Hey, here is something interesting… I went to a great lecture this morning and the person giving the…

  • 2019-01-01 Of Course, Of Course

    That’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it. The first thing I did when I opened my notebook was type “2018-12” – I got so far as the month and year before it dawned on me that it wasn’t right. Yesterday came and went and I was not really focussed at all on the fact that it…

  • 2018-12-31 Sneaky NYE (Spoiler Alert, it’s not really about NYE)

    The lecture I went to yesterday was about image. It was about transcendence and turning abstraction into something the five senses can latch onto and understand. It was about time and all time occurring at once and at the same instant always slipping through our fingers. It was about our desires to live on in…
