  • 2018-02-20 It Takes Heart

    What? What takes heart?.. Pretty much everything in life. Really, for us mammals, we can’t live without it but that’s the literal translation of course. I dwell a lot in metaphorical spaces. I’ve written a fair bit lately publically and privately about communication and language and the fact that words with definitions are one of…

  • 2018-02-07 Mid Week Musings

    When there’s so much.. where does one start? How about with the fact that my car was inches away from being the 3rd vehicle in a parking lot collision at the HS this morning. It was Kia vs. some boat of a chevey. That boat came busting across the end of an isle like her…

  • 2018-02-04 Super Sunday Status Update 🏈🏈🏈

    Minus the footballs but.. Eagles and Patriots? How very American!! 🏈🇺🇸🍟(News flash.. Apple pie was replaced by McDonald’s as the iconic food of our people in 1992.. sad panda). I’ll probably stream it in my office and watch for the highlights (ie. commercials) with a nice selection of Whole 30 compliant fruits and nuts. I’ll…

  • 2018-01-24 Why Poetry

    I’m in the car this morning navigating the ice rink that is the high school parking lot. I was dodging teenagers and their Pontiacs and late model Cadillacs and somehow maintaining my positive disposition despite my daughters insistance on fighting with me about a 5 minute discrepancy in our schedules. I’m only half listening to…

  • 2018-01-19 The Problem with Millenials

  • 2018-01-18 Poking the Panic Monster

    I have just under two weeks to get my first set of assignments turned in for this semester of my masters program. The panic monster inside of me is still fast asleep. That’s probably not a good thing. I think part of me thinks it’s going to be easy and the other part thinks that…

  • 2018-01-09 Closing the Book On Day 1

    The first day of the rest of my life was a complete success. I only had enough work for a couple hours but that left more time for another Cloud Guru course and this time it was my first lab. So now, yours truly, has an account on AWS and can create users, groups, and…

  • 2018-01-06 MFA Residency Wrap Up

    I arrived home last night to a quiet house and a kitten who was happy to see me. I left all my bags in a pile in the bedroom, had a snack and finished up some writing, and went to bed. I was utterly exhausted. If I were to sum up my experience these past…
