Just sitting in the backyard recently, a weekend afternoon, back deck; this space has seen better days, but it’s peaceful all the same.

Dad Will Eat It
Waste not, want not. I don’t like waste. Especially food. Especially at my house. So leftovers? I’m all about them. Some might call them food scraps sometimes … I call them perfectly fine and nutrition. A few aged grapes, chopped cucumber? IN. Too many people go hungry in this world. Minimum 673 MILLION people on …

Swirly World
I find myself in this swirly world, hard to find my footing. It feels a constant state of flux; the list is long and varied; I’m unsure what to do next. Frozen, eyes a bit unfocused, I ponder.

Record Entry _ LudLab: Origins
Hypothesis: The origins of my externally observed positive attitude come from my early experience of anxiety and efforts to survive, cope, and overcome said condition. Background: My earliest memory of anxiety was when I was eight years old; I was in the third grade. Two particular things I recall from that year. I was bullied …

Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard …
