As a vegan to drift off this came to mind; from The Muse himself; some six hundred years ago written, two score years I heard it for the first time. “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe …

Lighter Side: A Sure Thing? HERDEZ
This stuff, DELICIOSO. Need something yummy to enhance chips, crackers, veggies? This stuff. Sure pick-me-up as you work through the day? This stuff. Now shamelessly eating it from a jar? Yes. Glad it comes in a three-pack from Costco? Yes. Recommended? YES.
Rise Above the Blah
Yesterday it was blah; aware of the inertia, the drag, fighting to steady, to focus, to go forward. Mulled down. Then our son had an allergic reaction to something he ate. His stomach was upset; he felt uneven, unsettled. He was anxious, uneasy. He was sick a couple of times, emptying things out. Through all …
Blah
Striving, I only feel blah. Thinking, the response is blah. Apathy, or uncertainty, maybe the anxiety brings it on, feeling blah. My mind responding to it all, dulled, broken down, to blah. Some solace in prayer, faith, just barely, barely ahead of blah. That might just end up being enough, just enough, ahead of blah. …
In Brief: Gratitude
I’m not one for brevity. I like to dig in, go long, go deep. The more the better, that’s my usual approach. But today’s a little different. Today I just want to say Thank You. Coming off an unexpected late night, I’m thankful for: Easy conversations, Another round of pool, The band, RUSH, Cool evenings, …
Do It Anyway
I’ve thought a lot lately about anxiety, worry, and fear. In fact, it’s been a topic I return again and again to most all of my life. I wonder how to respond, cope, battle, persevere through these feelings; to not let them consume, devour, destroy; instead, to transcend. I’ve lived with these emotions the whole …
Lyrics Post: “One”
This song by U2, from a long while back. They’ve got a lot of good songs; this is one of my favorites. "One" “Is it getting betterOr do you feel the sameWill it make it easier on you nowYou got someone to blameYou say One loveOne lifeWhen it's one need in the nightOne loveWe get …
Lights Out!
I'm a little too young to have been an active listener to "Lights Out!", the famous early horror radio show from the 1930's and 40's, but I recall my folks talking about it. And I do remember Bill Cosby talking about it in his famous bit "Chicken Heart." I listened to hat bit over and …
Do What You Can Do
Two examples here I’d like to share. Two men who believe in taking care of the planet: Doing the right things around that every day. The first guy I know; he’s family. He’s a dad and a public servant and a bike rider and an outdoorsman. And he picks up the trash when he’s out …
Inspiration Everywhere
I might have used that title before, not sure. Regardless, it should probably be a regular reference to posts on this site. After all, I seem to be forever inspired by things around me, events that transpire that are positive and uplifting. In these COVID pandemic times, when America (and other countries too) are in …
