    2025-07-02 Welcome to July

    After my last post a friend of mine messaged me and said “good luck doing nothing.” Or something like that and it’s true… I set an intention for June to do less. I wanted to minimize the pressure I constantly feel to do more or counterbalance that feeling that I’m never doing enough. How frustrating…

    2025-01-09 Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That

    Bronchitis. It’s a bummer.  I’ve been feeling unwell off and on for about a month. Each time I feel like I’m starting to feel better, I take another turn and get worse again. Yeah… really rotten.  I’m still feeling pretty positive about life in general, but man, it would be even better if I could…

    2025-01-04 Maybe I Will, and Maybe I Won’t

    In 2024 I spent a fair bit of time in reflection and despite the constant hum of hope vibrating in my core, actual life felt like a huge struggle much of the time. I entered the year in a self-imposed hibernation and was poised to come out swinging in February. I was going to make…

    2024-12-17 Oh, Hello Again.

    December 17th. Happy Birthday Kel.  One of my oldest and dearest friends. We both rotated around the same circles in high school, tethered by the gravitational force of mutual friends and bonded by humor. I’m grateful for our many years of comradery and kinship.  December 17th is a day that always seems to want to…

    2024-08-16 A Fresh Take on Over Half Over

    August is officially over half over. The year is over half over. My life is over half over.  Oh no?! Another melancholy post about existential dread and crooning over what the purpose of life is and what it all means??!!  No. Nope. Not today.  A few weeks ago (or maybe it was just last week)…

    2024-07-19 Look How Far We’Ve Come…

    I’ve got a lot of updates to share but that’s not what’s really on my mind. You know, the things that are going Ok like my daughter being 8000 miles away and my son enjoying life, save for maybe those shifts flipping burgers, or even my own stuff. It’s all going good and I’ve cycled…

    2024-07-03 Welcome to July!

    Hi friends. Guess what? It’s July!!  Holy Laughing Cows Cheese Batman, how did half a year go by already?  I dunno. Guess we blinked and that’s just what happens.  If you read my musing on a regular basis (Thank you! You’re amazing! I love you forever!!), you know I’ve spent a great deal of this…
