    2019-07-11 Changing Tides and Tidal Waves 🌊🌊🌊

    When last we met my mood was foul and I had accepted the fact and was rolling with it. That feels like four hundred years ago now and so much has changed. In truth, nothing has changed, all those issues persist but somehow the ride turned. And that, folks, is the nature of the beast…

    2019-06-15 Four, Three, Two, One, and Go (or Not)

    At this point I’m just moving about the world and spending a lot of time thinking about it. The world and my place in it. What’s worth a second thought and what is not. Four days ago I saw a tweet from a friend of mine that led to an article that was worth a…

    2019-06-12 Balance Restored

    It’s Wednesday and the toughest part of my week is over. I had the dinner party and wouldn’t you know it, the world did not end. Nothing bad happened. Of course they all loved the house and I ordered sushi so food prep and clean-up was a snap! I slept in until about 7:15 this…

    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.…

  • 2019-05-14 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…

  • 2019-03-28 Life Is Long

    With each step I take on this new path of life that I have found myself on, I find that I’m becoming more and more convinced that I’ve made the right choices. The path I’m talking about is one where I’m making my creative pursuits and passions in life a priority and letting my “career”…

  • 2018-11-28 These Are Strange Times

    Here I sit in a random dentist office in the middle of the Universe. It might not be accurate to say Earth is in the middle of the Universe, but I suppose any planet that is not at the edge of the Universe is technically in the middle. Maybe not the center, but who knows,…
