    2020-08-17 Matters of Perspective

    I’m gonna quit my job today. I’m a little anxious and nervous about that but also just ready for the moment to be done. There’s no official letter, no big to-do. That’s really not how this gig is. I mean, if I was a corporate cool-aid drinker, maybe. But I’m not, so it’s more like…

    2020-07-15 The End is the Beginning

    Spoiler alert. The world ends with a whimper and not a bang. I traveled into the future yesterday and found that all endings are an open door to the beginning and all beginnings are glasses full of possibility. Drink it down people. Get drunk on it and savor every drop. Realize that when it’s half…

    2020-06-26 Take Back the City Tour: Day 12.944 – Enjoying the Moment

    Today is almost over. The more time my daughter and I spend alone together, the more we come to understand each other better. I mean, we live together but sometimes, we are too busy just getting through each day that we don’t even really talk and that’s a shame. Tonight she told me she was…

    2020-06-21 Take Back the City Tour: Days 5 – Summer Solstice Shack Simple

    Yesterday I was able to break out of the new normal routine to get a nice balance of holding counsel with the frogs and the butterflies and dragonflies at a “shack simple” experience and also have a lovely catch up session with some friends. The shack simple day was coordinated by a friend of mine,…

    2020-06-13 Rejections, connections, and Strawberry Pie 🍓🥧❤️

    I’ve had a few communications with folks lately about rejection. Anytime you take a risk and put yourself out there and pin hopes on someone else’s reaction, you are subjecting yourself to the possibility of rejection. I’ve got two specific instances to share with new insights. In this not-so-new-anymore world of electronic communications, a person…

    2020-06-01 What other choice do I have?

    A friend of mine texted me out of the blue to ask how I was doing. I said I’m OK, but that I think it’s “the end of days” going on right now. I’m not sure if this hellfire of strangeness is biblical, but it sure feels like it. It would be just like the…

    2020-05-29 “Everything’s cool as long as I’m getting thinner”

    That title is a line from the Lily Allen song appropriately titled “The Fear”. Half of the lyrics are about life and mass consumption and the way we seek after fortune and how society is all fucked up. The other half is confessional. It’s Admitting to confusion and not knowing what’s real and feeling taken…

    2020-05-28 Hide and Seek

    I start walking. I start writing. That’s my way. Lately I’ve felt like it’s all just the same shit on a different day. I’m inches away from getting my MFA in Poetry and I haven’t written anything worthy of a poem in months. A few times when I took a class with the “Todfather”, I…
