I always come back to the same thing. It’s my default. It’s what ended up grounding me, proving again and again the proper path. Sometimes I feel like I’ve got too much on the to-do list. It’s endless. And then I’m not getting enough done. Or maybe more accurately, things take longer than I estimate, …

My Office Today & a Little Lemonade from Lemons
Saw it coming if I was paying attention. Very runny nose, increasingly frequent cough, growing crankiness (for him and me), and BOOM, my son got sick. Aren’t they always sick this time of year, little kids? Never mind. He’s gotta stay home sick, and today ok for me to work from home (Thankful!), so here …

Guest Post: Reflection, There and Here.
This piece was written by guy who's an artist, a teacher, a creator, a husband and father, a person of great faith. I read this post on his facebook page a couple weeks back, and wanted to share it. He graciously allowed me to do so. Here's some great insight and "Reflection: There and Here. …

A Lifetime of Love
A Lifetime of Love Saw a post recently from the wife (and friend) of a college chum who died of cancer last year. He battled for about three years before it got him. They were married for something like 29 years. Like all of their adult lives. She wrote about how hard it is, dealing …
Jazz with Howie
Sitting in the car on a rainy afternoon. Jazz on the radio, old school. 91.1 FM, KCSM (the "CSM" stands for College of San Mateo). Smooth groove, easy on ears, heart, soul, purring, pouring out the jam. The rain water collects on the windows, tap tap tap it falls, beads, drips down. This place, a …
Wow! Interstellar Traveler, Comet 2i Borisov.
This story has it all, if you like outer space: galaxies, other worlds, interstellar travel (between stars, over millions of years!), exploration, discovery, it's all here. Only the second known comet to travel to our solar system from elsewhere in the Milky Way. How DO they study comets? WHO studies comets? How do the coordinate …

Bei Bei, Giant Pandas, Diplomacy, and Mother Earth
I heard this piece recently on the radio driving to work. If you like animals and conservation, then this one is right up your ally: it's about the lengths we humans have gone in effort to save the Giant Panda from extinction. Bei Bei is the name of a panda cub born in 2015 to …

Lyrics Post: “Old Town Road”
My kids love this song. They all sing it in the car. My son wants to hear it while he takes a bath. Got to admit it’s pretty catchy. And a 20 year old song writer who launched via the internet, and has Billy Ray Cyrus and Trent Reznor in his corner? Gotta be something …
