Talking to a good friend recently, talking about my struggles of late, my thoughts and feelings therein, and how my writing relates... For better or worse, I lay a lot of it out here, you see... It’s a blend of diary and journal and blog, giving me both the personal and creative outlet, together, I …

Transfer
Freestyle on it, on the transfer. “What transfer?” you ask? The transfer of power, political power, the power over others. We mark Inauguration Day in these United States as a cornerstone of our American Democracy. The peaceful transfer of power. This time it’s 45 to 46. In spite of the struggle and the lies and …
Another Voice for Change
After MLK Jr. Day, after all the many situations and examples and tragedies that have been freshly brought to light of late around racial inequality, and the many things we need to do to change things for the better... I came across these two posts from one of my more favorite voices on social media. …
How Far? MLK Jr.
This is a day to remember many things. Where we started. Where we’ve been. How far we have to go. And of course, this man, Martin Luther King Junior, his words, his work, his inspiration. Especially after these recent years, and all the divides, I think I'm most hopeful that King's words only gain more …
Remote, Yet Close

Change Up
A little like a pitcher to a catcher, right by the batter, WIFF! My older daughter applied that sorta magic earlier today, when my son was going sideways. It was super to watch, super thankful was I for the magic. I had run up against it, unable to sway his mood, still looking at a …
Lyrics Post: “Lovin’ Every Minute of It”
Way back when -- think, two score (40 years) -- there was a bit of a Canadian invasion of the American pop / rock music scene. Loverboy was one of those bands that squeezed everything they could out of their time on that scene. I've not thought about them for years, but then somehow my …
Busy Brain
This little episode comes to from the middle of the night. Yep, awoken by my busy brain just before 1:00am, capturing the moment to share a few thoughts. Mind you, I just went to bed three hours ago, intent on getting a good night’s rest to start the week. Hmm. Didn’t plan on this little …
Inspiration Everywhere: Nick Chubb, Running Back, Cleveland Browns Football Team
Baller. Grinder. Fun to watch. Brings it on every down. Inspired player. Pretty quick, all these thoughts came rushing in when I watched the Cleveland Browns game Sunday night. Nick Chubb was inspiring, the way he ran. And it came to mind, gotta share that simple thought: be inspired by the simplest of things. I …
