True Power
Still coming out of the glorious wake of our recent high school reunion, and the thoughts and the inspirations that just keep coming. I wonder if anybody else feels this way? It’s real for me, for sure. The true power of reunion. And this particular thought provides fresh motivation, and additional understanding of those human …
In The Dark
“In the dark”, one of my favorite songs by one of my sneaky favorite musicians from the 1980’s, Billy Squier. In the dark, also when I prefer to wake up on work days, curious thing. Maybe it goes back to days as a kid when I’d be at my grandparents’ ranch and my grandpa and …
Good People, Good Bits 
Good people, good bits, straight up, legit, so fortunate to have so many good people in the mix, Case in point, recent recommendation from a friend, still true, truth be told simple idea most effective, Drink one glass of water to start the day, room temp, nothing to say, one glass of water to get …
Every Day
How often do you walk or run? Gotta go gotta go, gotta get up and go, Every day, find a way, get out, walk it out, round and round, even upside down, get out and go, Don’t you know it’s best to do so every day, off your butt, but what about the weather? Nevermind! …

Numbers & Letters
I really like numbers and letters, and not just in the usual, funny how my quirky self is drawn this way, Like a high school reunion reference, “SCHS1985R40” or “SC85R40”, our own conjured up thing, I like the way it looks, sounds, feels, feelings will be running high the next couple days as we come …
Least We Forget
Least we forget - and I almost did - 9/11/2001. Four attacks on American soil. The Twin Towers collapsed. The Pentagon was struck. Nearly 3,000 people died on that day. The American military still fights factions of the terror networks at fueled the attacks some twenty years later. NEVER FORGET.
Troika Rally
A long while back - decades - older guys I looked up to used to say the word “rally” on occasion; for what ever reason, I latched on to it. Impressionable years! Rally as in, “making extra effort to claw back, participate, get caught up, get ahead…”, I still use the word today. As in …
