Relationship is fundamental for me. If I’m not connected to the people and things around me I don’t feel settled; If I’m in relationship, I feel at ease, grounded. It’s been that way on the playground, the schoolyard, the classrooms, the teams, and the companies I’ve been a part of. Pretty well the whole of …

New Beginnings
Gonna start again, Already did, Time and time again, New beginnings.
Living With The Crazies
My crew, living with the crazies. 10, 8, 7. At times I get their names mixed up during the hustle and bustle of day to day. They drive me a little koo-koo sometimes, but I know I do the same to them. That’s living together; that’s family. They sing and dance and laugh and tell …

A little laundry, not finished, A vacuum on the floor for a couple rooms, Really hot, sprinkler runs on the front lawn, shorts …
Honor Labor
Honor labor, honor labour, 1 May, First Monday in September, what ever you like. The main point? Respect and gratitude and acknowledgment of the significant contributes of those who labor in all roles, and especially in those roles historically with less leverage, less power, in the workplace. Let us work for equality and recognize the …
Another Adventure
Scenes therein…
Wicked Lessons
Good lesson yesterday about adjusting, backing off, letting be, trusting. Letting go of the immediate, the angst. She taught me that yesterday. A lesson I hope will help us both in the future, especially as she transitions through adolescence to adulthood. I’ll be ready to listen; I’ll be ready to hold her, support her. And …
Wicked Dad
I remember when I was a kid, sometimes we used the word "wicked" to mean "cool", etc. I'd like to think I'm a "wicked dad" in that context....but just now, feeling pretty far from it. Weird day, best intentions sideways, some practical tasks completed, but big picture, I'm feeling wicked in the old-fashioned sense of …
