    2023-09-03 Headed for BIG MOVES, at my own pace…

    I put a lot of thought into almost everything. Too much sometimes and often to my own detriment. I might argue that over-analysis has led to some really great outcomes but chaos theory has a way of throwing off any statistics I might try to use to prove my point.  Which is a fancy way…

    2023-08-29 Welcome to the backside slide…

    …down the cheese grater of life. “Really bro?”  Yeah… that’s more or less what my brother wrote in my birthday card. That and “welcome to the club.” “What club bro?” I say though I know damn well what club.  Should I feel special? He and I have never been in a club together so maybe…

    2023-06-05 No Drama Here…

    It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written anything blog worthy, and this might be no exception but I’m doing it anyway. Actually I wrote a few sentences over the past week but it came from a place of emotional unrest and frustration. Not to worry friends, the storm clouds have abated and the burden…

    2023-05-18 Organize to Prioritize

    I started this post just now because I have a lot of thoughts. Lots of disorganized-all-over-the-map thoughts. Maybe I’m hoping getting it all down will help to sort through it and pick out my priorities. I move my daughter home from UNL yesterday and she’s officially a senior in college. Super hard to believe, but…

    2023-03-19 Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

    Today’s post is brought to you by the song “The Way” by the band Fastball, which I’ve committed to listening to on repeat until I’m good and satisfied with where my mind is going… As a child I frequently daydreamed about running away from where I was and being somewhere else–anywhere else. Often that “somewhere…

    2023-03-15 Averting My Eyes on the Ides

    What a strange day. I remembered the Ides were coming up a few days ago and then forgot again. Then all day today I had this strange feeling something was off. Might have been that 4AM wake up. Might have been the feeling of being too tired coupled with an unusually productive morning. Might be…

    2023-02-16 But what does “real life” look like?…

    It’s the middle of the month. I’m still lamenting being home from our big vacation and trying to keep things well balanced. There’s a let down, you know, when something wonderful is over and the best way to combat that is planning the next vacation. 😂 I’m thinking of several actually and daydreaming is nice. …
