So profoundly sad. These lands, they have wept for generations. And now, now further generations will weep. Extreme views and actions from both sides. Hatred is not the path. Violence is never the path. But from both sides, blood soaks the ground. Blood soaks the ground.

No Script
Best laid plans gone awry, all the same I like to have some idea of the path, Funny tho’, I often find my way off script, finding my way by feel, not entirely sure of the deal, Just forward of the plan, ready to stand up and see what’s next, No script to ease the …
SF Adventure Day
Annual ritual, Fall Break, kids off school, so we search for adventure. This year, closer to home. SF Wandering…a few different parks, Chinatown…even looking for a parking place was an adventure of sort… Getting out and about, seeing some new / old places…adventures not so far away, GOOD.
“Hey Dad, Can I Wear A Flannel?”
Perhaps one of the apex things one of my children can ask, especially my younger daughter… “Hey Dad, can I wear a flannel…?” It both delights me and cracks me up. I love it. Not sure exactly why. I think some of it makes me feel needed. Some of it is leftover from night school …

Stop the worrying, start the deep breaths, week off with the kids for love’s sake, Just feel things slow down, LET things slow down, it somehow the simmering angst persists, Why so, why so? Stop reacting, stop fretting, start realizing these are the best moments, the moments that matter, Stop the flip-flopped priority of work, …

Vivid Dreams of family and friends, work and war, strange circumstances, unsettled mind, choppy emotions in the wake. I wonder how dreams go from …
See Through Sticky
Sticky moments can catch you off guard. An unexpected comment, a sudden crisis of confidence, a flat tire on the way to the in-laws. The key factor(s) in persevering, and even excelling when faced with such situations? I think there are a few. Pause. Don’t panic. remain calm. Assess the best options for next steps. …
Spent
Spent a busy day recently from here to there, then staying up late to play ball, Spent the next day hustling once again, 12 hours in the salt mine, getting all mine, paying my dues, helping the cause, Spent now, crashed in bed, scribbling words down and slowing my mind down, big pause next, Next …
Comfort Zone
I think pretty often about how important it is to get out of your comfort zone. And honestly I do think it's important. I work to instill that willingness in my kids. I talk about how important it is to cope with the unexpected too. Why? Because dealing with the unexpected often involves going beyond …
