  • 2018-03-05 Just a Little “I Told You So”

    “Wait a day”. That’s what I think I said. In truth it could be almost any amount of time. A day, a week, a few hours, a year. Change is inevitable. I woke up this morning to severe overcast and rain. And it’s not that warm spring rain that makes the emerging crocus and daffodils…

  • 2018-03-04 Peculiar Weather Patterns

    What a week! Such highs and lows all in the same 7 days. It’s like the weather in Nebraska, wait a day and it will change. Sometimes dramatically. First I’ll start with the the baseline, to establish there is sill some consistency and order in the world. For me, that’s the exercise.. 20.3k average steps…

  • 2018-03-01 Part 3 – The Hangover

    When we last left our fateful hero’s, they were staring down at the bottom of a bottle of wine, with empty glasses in hand. Their fingers were on the keyboard possitioned and ready for brilliance to flow as easily from them as the cheap wine that had just played out a most impressive disappearing act.…

  • 2018-02-28 EVERYTHING Is Due Today

    I’ve put some serious hours into my MFA packet this week and I’m quite satisfied with what I’m turning in today. I’m very happy about the revisions to a few of my previous first drafts and though I’m not super excited about any of my three essays, I think they are all pretty good too.…

  • 2018-02-25 Another Sushiless Sunday Status Update

    Instead, I’m having tacos! 🌮🧡 I know, it’s not Tuesday but Sunday is the new Tuesday so it’s OK. I’m going to cut to the quick… Sleep is still a struggle. Average of 6 hours and 11 minutes a night. Exercise is waning as well. 15,768 steps per day average, which is still above goal. I…

  • 2018-02-24 Look Who Just Showed Up

    Procrastination From deep within a three week slumber With first a slow and sleepy lumber The monster moves, now cocks his head, Instilling thoughts of sudden dread And In the wake of Panic’s stare I also wake, acutely aware Long days and nights I’ve been remiss Choosing something other than this. *** I just couldn’t…

  • 2018-02-22 No Apologies, No Regrets

    Why does it take so long in our lives to get to the point where we care less about what everyone else thinks and more about what we think? I look at my teenage daughter and can feel her persona covered in things she has picked up from caring about what other people think. It’s…
