  • 2017-07-09 What Potato’s Do

    You know what I didn’t do yesterday? Look at my to-do list. You know what else I didn’t do, pretty much anything. If I’m being perfectly honest, the reason is because I only slept for 2 hours. Yeah.. 2. I went to sleep at 4:30AM on Friday night/Saturday morning and woke up at 6:30. Why…

  • 2017-07-08 Little Bits of Lots of Stuff

    It’s Saturday in a life where everyday feels like Saturday now. I made myself a to-do list at the beginning of the week and as soon as I am done writing today I am going to go down to the kitchen to check it and see how I did. There are no “rights and wrongs”…

  • 2017-07-06 The Fabric of Our Lives

    Today I want to write about relationships. Our lives are composed of the sum of our experiences and that composition is largely made up of moments we have shared with other people. Our parents and relatives and friends and lovers and children. There are people we pass by in our daily routines, like the barista…

  • 2017-07-05 Mission Accomplished

    I made my solo ride to the river on the 4th. I made it all the way there and back – about 40 miles round trip and it was absolutely amazing. I don’t have words to describe the range of emotions I felt along the way, or at least now words to do it justice.…

    It’s 6AM on the 4th of July and I’m waking up after about 7 hours of sleep to a clean, quiet, empty house. The perfect place to start my day of reflection. The kids went to their dads house late yesterday afternoon and aside from Jazzercise, gym time, and planting some newly acquired flowers in…

  • 2017-07-02 Fireworks on a First Date

    Let’s just set aside the fact that yesterday was July first and that there were only three days left until the 4th of July. Even if that was not the case, I would still stand by the statement that there were fireworks on my first date. Yowza. We met at a bar near my place…

  • 2017-07-01 Welcome to the Second Half…

    … of the year. In January at my sisters wedding I was drunk texting my friend Rebecca in Austin and taking pictures of the reception. I remember thinking how beautiful my sister was in her dress and how happy everyone was and how much fun it was out on the dance floor. At that moment,…

  • 2017-06-30 Last Day of June

    Today is the last day of June and the last day of the first half of the year. I’m historically into being retrospective and analyzing things in order to make adjustments and improvements but not sure I’m really in the mood for a deep dive into that right now. Perhaps just a slight toe-dip in…
