That’s what it takes, that’s the way to make it the world go around, split decision. Precious few hours with your kids, workday done, leave it at work, spin toward what matters, split decision, for your kids, family, Sharp pain in the neck, center back, stalled out distracted car ride home, not worth it, no …

Lyrics Post: “Ceiling Unlimited”
This song, another sneaky sleeper, I think of it…from “Vapor Trails”, the 2002 by RUSH. Sneaky motivator…let it soak in… "Ceiling Unlimited" It's not the heatIt's the inhumanityPlugged into the sweat of a summer streetMachine gun images passLike malice through the looking glass The slack-jaw gazeOf true profanityFeels more like surrender than defeatIf culture is …
Park Scenes: Slow Down, Soak In, Play

Blog Like A Tweet: Sunday Eve Lull
Mishmash morning, kids’ whim to add pancakes to breakfast? Done. Number Three finished her laundry put-away? Magic. These highlights outweighed a couple bumps, and away we went into the afternoon.

Politics in Two Pictures: Two Nations, Two Tales
USA, 245 years, lots of work to do, fractured, bumpy democracy. Sudan, fighting for a foothold against a military dictatorship.
Spool Up, Down
Ramped up yesterday early, before the sun was up, a good start to a busy Friday ahead, ready to get a bunch moving forward, and then… Things went sideways was tue kids started waking up and getting ready for school… The youngest, spooled up herself, and not in a good way; she went from neutral …

Yesterday: “On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”, the major Western powers who had been at war for four years, called an armistice; the day the “war to end all wars” was paused, and hostilities soon ended. World War I. More than 8 million combatants perished; more than 11 million …
