On the water, in the water, splashing about, Behind a boat, behind the No Wake buoy, aqua-time, aqua-fun, Lake swim, with the fish, with the weeds, Back to basics, just you and the water, other-worldly, renewed reality, Lake swim, lake fun, SPLASH.

Mexico
A fine country, but for a handful of friends I know, a state of mind too: “Mexico” A small group of college buddies, close friends some, happenstance others, now life-long chums, brothers and sisters in arms. The first time the core group came together was for a few days Roadtrip to Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. …
Bettis, Sandoval, and Me
Funny thoughts through the mind this past weekend, Several times pondering my current physical condition…not something to be proud of, Heavier than I’ve ever been, quite out of any solid baseline of fitness, And then I think about Jerome Bettis, and Pablo Sandoval, former professional football player and baseball player respectively.

Ideal in Ideal

More than a hundreds years back, American Labor and Political leaders found a less conflict-charged day, the …
Why blog, why write?

Godspeed, Jimmy
“Some of it’s magic, some of it’s tragic, but he had a good life all the way…” So many good songs written and performed by Jimmy Buffett, who died the other day at the age of 76. He was such a cultural icon, crossing and melding music and lyric and attitude, making the most of …
Long Exhale
It’s the long exhale into a long weekend, the slow release of stress, angst, struggle, The long exhale has your shoulders relaxed, and you taking an extended pull from a tall, cool glass, As you give into darkness and cozy, and nothing scheduled for the next few days, You rejoice and give thanks and are …
