One thing’s for sure, prince or pauper, regardless of one’s station in life, regardless of accomplishments, everyone has the same fate in the end. We all end up dead. But. BUT, this doesn’t have to be just a sad fact. When we pause to remember loved ones, those who are no longer with us in …

Just Cozy
I want simple things; that’s what makes me happy. In the pre-dawn, on the middle of the night, I just want to be cozy. Warm. Safe. Cozy. Warm. Safe. Easy peasy in my world, nothing fancy. But for many millions of folks just like me, not so easy. Impossible to come by, actually. So I’m …
A Glass Of Water
Considering this. When I got up this morning, I started the day this way. I went to the sink, filed a small glass with water and drank it. I wanted to start hydrating my body for the day. And as I filled the glass with water from the faucet, I thought about the people who …

“I Dropped The Ball”
A through line for my life, trying to catch the ball. Playing catch, tennis ball, then baseball, then football, and basketball. Especially baseball and football. Never played organized baseball, but loved playing catch with my dad. Then football. I often played catch with my buddy, the quarterback for our team when we both played high …
Spool Up, Down
I think I do this too much, allow spool up of activities too close to bedtime, Then expect an easy spool down? Not so easy. It’s on me, the dad, the adult, the parent in the house, Don’t intend the Up so much, but certainly expect the down on command, Not realistic, No excuses, Just …
