Well, I find myself being, again in this space, this place, dull aches, a few pains, run-down, somewhat displaced. Dull in the head, shoulders heavy, thick.

Lyrics Post: “Beautiful Wreck”, Shawn Mullins
This song came to mind yesterday; is a good one for sure. But also, feeling like train hit me, flu-ish, the song popped in my brain. I’m anything but beautiful, but feeling like a wreck. Not Covid, I don’t think. I’ve been full vaxxed, a couple months ago; all the same, had my weekly Covid …

“Slowly Getting Vert”
Ease into the day, easy does it. Not too fast, most of the time, not needed. Take it slow to start, ease in, ease in. First waking up, I encourage my kids to ease in, gradually come out of their slumber, not too fast, slow slow, open eyes, enter the day. I suggest they don’t …
I Want It Both Ways
I want to get my work done; I don’t want to be a slave to the job. I want dinner to go smoothly with the kids; I don’t want to crack the whip to keep them on track. I want the kids to play by themselves; I don’t want to listen to the ruckus. I …

The Message For The Day, Says Levi, “Good Morning”
I asked my son, what should be the theme for Monday’s blog? “Good Morning!” He said. Let it be so; so simple. Let it be good. Let a good morning turn into a good afternoon, turn into a good evening. Let’s make it that way. GOOD.
Real Talk, Who Wouldn’t Want To Live In The Bay…
Costs a lot to live here, has changed a lot in the last fifty years, but I still love the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s home.
Just A Walk
Around the block, just a walk, a little time, Friday night, me and the dogs, the dogs and me, sunset to the west, gentle breeze, Cooling off the day, cooling off the week, the bumps, and struggles, in my head anyway, anyway, Anyway I can pause, take a break, take a few moments to reset, …
ISO Simple
ISO simple, say what you do, do what you say. Not so simple all the time. Not so simple when everyone’s not on board. “Whatever...”, or worse. Slippery slope to no so simple. Slippery slope to non-compliant; on paper, but then, can you recover, adjust, improve. That’s the point, right? Improve. IMPROVE. Say what you …
