    2019-06-05 Ten Random Things…

    Easy Like Lemon-Squeezeeee… 1. My Fitbit died yesterday for no apparent reason. I’m torn between contacting the company (because it’s not that old and stuff shouldn’t just stop working like that), not replacing it and seeing how life goes on without it, and running right out this morning to buy a new one. 2. We…

    2019-06-04 An Amalgamation of Nugatory Thoughts

    Last Friday I sat outside in a chair in the shade on my back patio trying to turn the day’s blog post which was wrought with emotion into a poem. In doing so I ended up with a poem and about a dozen bites on my neck and left arm from some unseen spider or…

    2019-05-21 Discovering True North

    Yesterday we drove to the edge and walked to the edge and looked out beyond the edge to see what we could see. At the edge, in that quiet space of nowhere and solitude and cold and uncertainty, I thought I heard music. As I walked, in my too-big rubber boots and three layers of…

    2019-05-20 Nebraska Day 1 – Road Trip Shenanigans

    Let’s see, what we I can remember now that we have made it to our Cozy Econolodge Motel (Room 133) with Kitchenette in Lovely Valentine Nebraska?… We got on the road about 8:30AM, just as we had planned and headed west out of town via Maple street, past Elkhorn and Valley and Fremont and North…

    2019-05-18 It’s Finally Here

    Yesterday was my last day on contract. (I promise this post is not about work, again). Today is the first day of my new life. How Many Moons Does it Take? It will be many moons before I let go of feeling ultimately responsible for any outcome but I’m done with that life for now.…

  • 2019-05-16 Three Mini-Rants Disguised as a List

    I’ve had so many different thoughts about things I’ve wanted to write about today, as my day was happening, and didn’t have a spare minute to sit down and work things out like I like. Life is like that sometimes. It’s almost 9 and I feel like I have miles to go, but certainly no…

  • 2019-05-14 A Trio of Truths

    This morning started out like most. I did the wake up and stretch thing, the hustle my people out of bed thing, and the morning commute thing. That’s where the similarities to every other Tuesday ended. After the High School drop off, I exited and went east toward UNO instead of west toward my house.…

    2019-05-10 The Problem with First Drafts

    I’m pressed for time today. Splitting my hours in two to get enough of everything done. That just means that nothing will be done right. You know.. things take as long as they take and half the time is never enough for that! Last night I transferred about 10 new poems from paper into electronic…
