The thing about any adventure (journey feels so overused right now) is that you need a good idea of where you started, and a rough idea of where you’re going. Otherwise you’re just lost. Capital L, Lost. And I’ve spent some time there. Lost is something that can and should be dealt with promptly when......

I’m not one for religion really.But Angels I know are real; I’ve met a few. One in particular is stuck in my head, and my heart, forever. She is small in stature, big in everything else. She bounces a lot of the time, has impeccable taste in music, and rides the wave of her emotions......

I really miss having you in my life. I miss your cute little smile. I miss your laugh. I miss how you were always talking. I miss how I felt when I was around you. I miss how well you fit right up against me in bed. I miss all of the time we spent......

So there I was, minding my own business - music up, doing a little cleaning after brushing my dog’s teeth - when I noticed that a fly had made it into my apartment during the teeth cleaning adventures. At first I thought maybe I could shoo him out the door, but that was a fruitless......

Every time I get my ‘fill’ of something, I think I’ll be good for awhile. But then you get a couple of hours of sleep in me, a few more hours of work stress, a couple of meals - and I’m ready to put myself through whatever kinda hoops I need to jump through for......

Anne Lammot says I’m supposed to sit down and trust discipline. Bird by Bird is the name of the book I keep avoiding. But in a podcast I heard her say that it’s hard to let go of the things that fuel you, or stop chasing the idea of creative moments. I’m paraphrasing here, poorly......

Someone said there’s two ways to live; One is as if nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is. And as a person tries to approach the second way it gets a little confusing. Every blade of grass has beauty. The smell when it rains. Watching the wind make the rain dance......

Approximately 780 sq feet of pure luxury. Or at least, the type of luxury that you can commodify for a couple of hundred residents in the year 2023.  Brand spanking new, run like a hotel, with enough security to rival a prison.  It is this type of property that I am currently calling home.  Every......

The problem is I have an engineering mind, an engineering background, and a laborer’s resources. Which means I lean towards fixing what is broken, rinsing and repeating, from sun up to sun down. But I have an appreciation for art that I can’t seem to turn off. And as I age it just consumes me......

Tonight there was a fleeting second where I was awake and aware to the fact that I was getting what I wanted, at the same time it was happening. I’ve been fortunate that this has happened to me before - but it was a few moments while peeing that I became aware that I had......

(this happened a few days ago) A spider died today. It wasn't an important day and I'm not really sure if it was an important spider, but today was that spider's last day here on earth. I was walking through the hallway of my parents' home and commented that there was a pretty big spider......

This morning I woke up in my Vegas hotel room feeling clear headed, having slept well and awoke with some excitement in my blood. Haven't had that feeling in a while. It made getting ready easy and I had some bounce in my step as I left the hotel. Now I find myself in the......
