    2020-10-29 The sunrise to sunset story of a girl and her RX8…

    In 2011, about 18 months after my divorce I was getting new tires on my Escape at the dealership and outside the window I was sitting by in the waiting room was a shiny red car. A beauty. It had dealer plates on it and I asked one of the sales guys if it was…

    2020-06-10 Three Types of Death

    All those days I wasted lamentingAll the sunsets I missed with my eyes fixed on a screen.All those neurons bounced around aimed at connection in pursuit of answers.The real opportunities missed as the clock ticks down to zero. Or near zero. Did you know that when you are pronounced dead, there’s a timer somewhere in…

    2018-07-14 MFA Day 0 – Sunset at the Lodge

    I arrived last night at 5PM sharp and almost EVERYTHING in my life decided to converge at that moment. I ended up missing the window for the MFA check-in which was supposed to be 3-5PM and let that go because getting to my room became an incredible priority for multiple reasons. First, I had a…

    Yesterday I was in a funk for most of the day and felt highly UN-motivated about pretty much everytging. Then about 3:30 in the afternoon things started to turn around. What happenened? Well I picked my kids up from their dads house. A very not-noteworthy event but I dare say it was not a coincidence…

  • 2017-11-02 Maui Day 4 🌋

    Of all the things to see and do while in Maui, visiting the volcanic area that is Haleakala was in the top three on my list. I say “was” because as of right now, that’s done and in the rearview. Today we got an earlier start that any day thus far and were on the…

  • 2017-08-05 The “Hopeless” in Hopeless Romantic

    Today I found myself feeling very anti-social and melancholy and consequently walking around Walnut Creek again. I arrived just about 45 minutes prior to sunset and when I began walking I paced myself so that I could enjoy the sunset from the path on east side of the lake looking west. Most of the music…

  • 2017-07-13 Sand Dollar Sunset Cheeseburger.. 4.25

    I ended up booking a hotel in Rockaway Oregon because there were no rooms in Manzanita. Insert super sad face here but it’s good because I need to learn to branch out and try new things. I am now glad that I did because if it went differently I never would have experienced the Sand…
