2020-10-04 On Days Like Today
On days like today I’m reminded how my son never wants to go outside. He resists it each and every time that I’ve suggested it, reliable as day turning to night as the sun slides down the sky. It always frustrates me because the outdoors has so much to offer. I ask myself as much…

2020-10-02 Jump Into this Day From Yesterday’s Sin…
On October 21, 2010 (not a typo – ten years ago) I wrote my first post on my first blog: Day By Day. It’s proof, that no one can predict what the future holds. No one can know what they are capable of. No one realizes the capacity of their cup.. until they begin to…

2020-09-25 Tides Don’t Turn
They’re relentless rolling towards the shore where waves crash like an unforgiving Kublai Kan. Or the resulting opiate inspired vision in dream. Just a fragment.

2020-09-24 Could it Really Be?…

2020-08-13 Moving Day and Memories
Earlier this week I took my daughter to the gynecologist for her first visit. For me, it was one responsibility in a long list of parenting checklist items. Each thing crossed off the list gets her closer to independence and being more prepared to try and navigate adulthood. Strange to be walking into the same…

2020-07-31 Adios July.. Don’t Let the Door Git Ya!
Remember all that I was saying yesterday about riding out the hormonal storm until the crashing waves calm down? Yeah, just effff that. It really is easy to talk logic than to put it into practice sometimes. Listen. Yesterday was a bitch. Work sucked. And at the end of the day I was on the…

2020-07-15 The End is the Beginning
Spoiler alert. The world ends with a whimper and not a bang. I traveled into the future yesterday and found that all endings are an open door to the beginning and all beginnings are glasses full of possibility. Drink it down people. Get drunk on it and savor every drop. Realize that when it’s half…
