    2023-04-11 There’s No Way Like the Just Say “No” Way…

    My current declaration is that I am backing off from making new commitments and revoking goals that have previously been set. I’m just saying “no.” I don’t have any more professional public appearances on the books and have completely let go of *most* of my monthly resolutions—No dietary modifications, writing objectives, reading quotas, exercise directives,…

    2023-04-05 Passover or Whatever

    Passover, flyover, rollover. Over and over, until you die from it. Forget it. Good gravy!  ❌ Content warning… E.T. is mentioned seven times in this post. Eight if you count this warning. I did a thing yesterday and didn’t die from it and my reward was to wake up and spend another day marveling at the mysteries of…

    2023-04-03 The Great Poetry Debate of 2023…

    Oops.. I did it again.  What?  I wrote a post that I never posted. /shrug  Made a goal and then didn’t achieve it. /yup Developed a good, healthy new habit and then lost it. #truth (followed by gaining back the pounds I lost in January and February.. ugh!) So what’s the point anyway?  To eat…

    2023-03-23 Mid-March Woes

    I’m all out of shows I’ve got interest in watching and no desire to crack open a podcast or audio book so I guess to pass the time l’ll try and get some words out. I apologize in advance for any unorganized chaos or ranting. If it’s in my brain, it’s about to come out…. …

    2023-03-17 But What Is Happiness…

    Two days ago I forgot it was the Ides and today I forgot it’s Saint Patrick’s Day (until about 20 minutes ago). I Guess that’s just what happens when I crawl deeper back into the cave of my own little life and shut out the rest of the world. I would say this cave /…

    2023-03-15 Averting My Eyes on the Ides

    What a strange day. I remembered the Ides were coming up a few days ago and then forgot again. Then all day today I had this strange feeling something was off. Might have been that 4AM wake up. Might have been the feeling of being too tired coupled with an unusually productive morning. Might be…

    2023-03-08 My Mind is Made Up…

    Last week I did something I haven’t done in years. I wrote something that I decided from the start would never see the light of any day. Just me, my thoughts, and my fingers tippity-typing on the keyboard to get it all out. From one angle it was an experiment to see if I still…

    2023-02-27 Goals? We Don’t Need No Stinking Goals…

    Hello friends. Welcome to the end… of February. 😜 About a month ago I posted a beefy January wrap-up that talked about everything under the sun–writing, books, shows, diet, exercise, publishing, podcasts, and, of course, goals! Revisiting that is a good place to start because when a whole month goes by in a blink (and…
