2024-10-29 Still Kicking It (The Can, Down the Road)
September came and went. October too, it seems. How easily time slips away when… whenever, however, whatever always happens. It’s been a few months since I rubbed a couple sticks together and made a spark of a sentence. There are a few forces behind my hiatus from writing. The first of which is a fall…

2024-08-08 808 Like a Drum..
An oldie that never gets old. Maybe someday someone will say that about me. 😂 This past couple weeks reading fiction for The Good Life Review in between trips to different hospitals, medical centers, and council bluffs has me thinking of all these one or two line vignettes that feel like silk in my head. Mostly…

2023-09-06 The Pub Update…
No no… this is not a top 10 list of local pubs with good atmosphere and great cheeseburgers (though that would also be the bomb). THIS… is the never-asked-for update on my personal journey to trick reputable publishers into including my poetry in the print or virtual pages of their esteemed magazines and journals. This…

Sometimes you stumble upon a show that just gets you. That hits every note and at the same time, miraculously also helps you discover something new about yourself. Yup. That’s “Tiny Beautiful Things.” On Hulu. Ok. Thinking about this is making me feel a little uncanned. Uncanny? Un-something and also quite validated. Strange, yes, but…

2023-02-27 Goals? We Don’t Need No Stinking Goals…
Hello friends. Welcome to the end… of February. 😜 About a month ago I posted a beefy January wrap-up that talked about everything under the sun–writing, books, shows, diet, exercise, publishing, podcasts, and, of course, goals! Revisiting that is a good place to start because when a whole month goes by in a blink (and…

2023-01-29 Birdwatching in the Morning
Welcome to the pre month end catch-all January wrap-up. In today’s “episode” I’ll be talking about books and not-books, podcasts, TV shows, food, publishing, and the premature results of my January goals. Whoa.. really?! Yeah… maybe. How about goals, books, and not-books. Reading one book in January was one of my goals (after failing at…

2022-05-21 Sharing the Wheel with the Universe
Lately when I mount my elliptical machine I’ve also got my fingers poised to press play on my new, totally binge-worthy show, A million little things. However, most days are a struggle to get it to play. Blame the cloud, the internet speed, my outdated iPad, or the mesh wifi I paid a pretty penny…

2022-05-08 A Million Little Things…
Lately I’ve been wasting time watching more shows than I normally do. When I say “normally” I mean that normally I don’t watch shows at all unless Jim and I are sitting down for a chill hour of TV in the evening. And when I say “lately” I suppose I mean for the past nine…
