    2023-10-31 No Tricks. Only Treats…

    Last day of the month. And it’s Halloween which used to be a fun time when the kids were little but these days I’m all like, yawn… whatever. The outside of our house is thoroughly decorated no thanks to yours truly. And we’re ready with those full size candy bars, but again, I prolly won’t…

    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.

    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…

    2022-12-03 New Leaf #2 🍂

    Leaf number 2: Personal Poetic Pursuits 🍂 I put a great deal of time and mental energy into TGLR. My little literary passion project that’s neither little nor just mine. Our team now has over 20 people and the whole organization, process, and published journal rely on me to hold up my end of the…

    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…

    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…
