Write Anywhere
As I continue my writing work, striving to capture the daily voice, a few things come to mind. I write to share what comes to mind, to share, to inspire. That’s my mission. I’m grateful for the means to scribble down and publish whenever it comes to mind, to capture the muse in the moment. …
More Props
I just heard a piece on the radio about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the diversity of their coaching leadership. It’s expanded my appreciation for the team and my attitude about that team, Tom Brady joining the team, and their victory in Super Bowl LV. Listening to Rod Graves, executive Director of the Fred’s Pollard …
Props
Props to them Bucs, bravo. Props to Brady, bravo. Super Bowl LV Champions. You can read all his stats as you like. Believe he has the most regular season wins, yards, touchdowns, Super Bowl wins as a quarterback in history. He’s from the San Francisco Bay Area, from which I hail and still reside, too. …
Me & Dad

Lunch With ALL, School Days, COVID

All amongst papers and books, pencils and pens. Quite a sense of immediate disarray. Sometimes the banter is …
Lyrics Post: “Moves Like Jagger”
Didn’t know Maroon 5 wrote this one; knew it was catchy. Then my eight year old son started shaking it to the beat, and I was all IN. Moves like Jagger, shake it all night....GOOD. "Moves Like Jagger" (feat. Christina Aguilera) [Adam Levine:] Oh... Oh! Just shoot for the stars If it feels right And …
The Campers In The Shadows
Down Garcia Drive, and South / East Bayshore Frontage Road in Mountain View, amongst the many buildings that house the likes of Google, YouTube, LinkedIn, there are campers after campers after campers. A long row, on the east side, the industrial side. In the shadows of so many tech companies. I sit writing this in …
Every Now & Then, Posterity Posts
A quick word on a couple recent posts, and new practice I think you'll see now and then on this blog. From time to time I come across topics, articles, etc. that seem particularly important, worthwhile, worth saving, worth sharing. I think of them as "posterity posts" because the content is then preserved and in …
