  • 2017-10-25 History Repeats

    It seems like I always have a song lyric in my head for what I’m thinking or feeling. Today it is DMB “So Much To Say”. The name of this one says it all. And just as I started typing this I thought, “This feels very familiar”. Indeed it is. Rewind to January 26th and…

  • 2017-10-19 What About Right Now?

    Yesterday I met with a finacial advisor. It was just an initial discussion so he could explain to me what he and his team and company are all about. He described their philosophy for investing and the different options available for utilizing their services. We also took a peek at what I have in my…

  • 2017-10-18 They Will Use You ‘Till They Lose You

    Last night I click-clicked on a twitter link and jumped into a tiny rabbit hole. It started with a tweet that twitter promoted to a notification in its infinite algorithmic wisdom. It was a tweet by my ex. Of course I clicked on it because I am only human and he “hasn’t tweeted in a…

  • 2017-10-09 Multitasking to the Tune of Change

    It’s Monday morning. Fall is in the air and it feels like change is quickly approaching my life. I’m back at the gym this morning writing from the elliptical machine.

  • 2017-09-12 The “Big” Question

    The crossroads. The decision. The thing that will change all other things to come. That’s putting a lot of pressure on one question. That’s putting a lot of pressure on one’s self. That is what thinking about what my next “career” move feels like. I’ve adequately filled up this months to-do list with things that…

  • 2017-08-11 Who Am I?

    Today I dug a trench in my back yard and it’s almost ready for me to start doing the brick work. I also went for a bike ride and discovered where/how the Patio trail connects with the Keystone trail, so that 4th of July mystery has been solved. After that I took a nap and…
