Been a year maybe, since this started; since the wheels of divorce started turning, Middle of the night, dreams wake me, clock stares back at me, words pour out. In my mind churning, this and that in flux, uncertain, unsettled. Mine to manage, improve, solve. What to do, say? Anyway, plenty of time to manage, …

Why Write, To Blog
I think I’ve talked about this before, why I write and more important, why some of that writing — most these days — ends up here. It’s simple. This is me. These thoughts and creativity are my outreach to the universe, to put Jeff out there, Authentically me. So that’s what you get, Authentically me, …
Weekend Pull
Much needed time, Each week, it comes. Pace slowed a bit, A little easier time, Together, Boost from friends, family, Soul time, certainly so, Pulls me in, forward, Thankful, each time, GOOD.
NPR, TLDR, GOOD
I listen to the NPR Politics Podcast pretty well every afternoon on the drive home after work. On Friday (8/20), I *LOVED" the discussion and the chemistry evident between the three commentators. Kelsey Snell and Ayesha Roscoe are regulars on the pod, but Clare Lombardo was a voice I'd not heard prior. And when they …
Wander and Squander?
No. Go deep. Into follow-up, Catch-up, Rise-up, Giddy-up, Be up, Ready to go. Done, son, No wander, no squander.
Lyrics Post: “Jaded”
Conflict, disagreement, irresponsible governance, selfish, disease, war, rebuked love…all (and more) to be jaded by. I refuse to accept these as the last word. Circumstance and Evil will not win in the end. But this song…”Jaded”…from a while back, well, Green Day ripped through a good one here… “ Somebody keep my balanceI think I'm …
“…Nobody’s Bargain…”
“…but hell, a little touch up and a little paint…” Frankly, this lyric came to mind recently as I was thinking about myself…middle-aged guy, recently single, a little flabby, frumpy… It might sound like I’m being critical of myself, but I think it’s more just honest, Like everyone, I am who I am and where …
Slog Through
Some days, weeks, longer, Feels like we’re slogging through. Keep a little smile on the face, head down to the grindstone, thankful for what we have, Undertone though? Slogging through, legs heavy, thick on your mind, in the back, Slow go. It’s this very time, each time, to stop the slide, To pause and give …
Live With It
Decisions you make, Live with it. Late supper time with the kids, Live with it. Last minute shopping for school clothes, Live with it. No TV after dinner, Live with it. Sub-optimal departure from a 20-year war, It sucks, There’s no good time, it turns out, Live with it.
Always Together
Soak up the weekend, soak up together.
1/2_Full, All GOOD
