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…

2023-01-02 Enough is Enough Already…
I’m always prone to being distracted by the new shiny. I think it’s only human. Routine and the cadence of up and down are also very human traits, for most people. I suppose there are some who thrive in chaos but I’m not among them. It’s a new year and this is (at least) my…

2022-12-31 But First…
I’m in Nebraska City trying to draw up water from the well of color. I’m drawn in too many different directions to see the end of anything. Yet the end draws near anyhow. It’s December 31st and the last day of the year. Not significant for anything except a smoldering desire to reflect back on…

2022-03-23 One Blog Post to Rule Them All…
Spoiler alert: This will be my last post for the foreseeable future. And it is a long one. A lot has happened in my life these past 5 years and much of it has been captured in the virtual pages of this space. I created this blog in 2017 when I was literally on the…

2022-02-13 The One About Memory and Time. And Rocks… 🪨
I think about time quite a bit, and about memory too. I think about an hourglass glued to the table; the lyric of a song stuck in my mind for a lifetime. I can’t escape the curve of it, the gravity, the sensation of something you can’t really hold on to that’s slipping away. I’ve…

2022-02-02 Let’s Do the Time Warp Again…
Time warp? Where to? How about oh-two, oh-two, two-oh, two-oh? It’s not too far. Only two years away. Only two years away? You don’t say! Yes, Two years from this day was the day little Miss SugarCookie finally got her way. Which makes today… her two year anniversary!! That’s right people. I’m celebrating my 2…
