Today’s her day, what to say? She poured herself out in a particular way. Salt of the earth, that’s part of her core, foundation of family right down to the core. She gave herself to us until we were grown, then shifted to pour herself into other work, ever caring for others. She and Abe …

Lyrics Post: “Volcano”
Way back when, another one turned me upside down with glee, a little ditty by Jimmy Buffett. And maybe my favorite memory of this song is dancing and singing to it with my mom at cousin’s wedding decades ago, the joy still easily remembered. So FUN. Volcano" Now, I don't know, I don't know where …
Lyrics Post: “Beast of Burden”
"Beast Of Burden", The Rolling Stones. Not much needs to be said. Same old magic. The riff, the lyric, the feel...all I want... “I'll never be your beast of burden My back is broad, but it's a-hurting All I want, for you to make love to me I'll never be your beast of burden I've …

Write Anywhere
As I continue my writing work, striving to capture the daily voice, a few things come to mind. I write to share what comes to mind, to share, to inspire. That’s my mission. I’m grateful for the means to scribble down and publish whenever it comes to mind, to capture the muse in the moment. …

It’s expanded my appreciation for the team and my attitude about that team, Tom Brady joining the team, and their victory in Super Bowl LV. Listening to Rod Graves, executive Director of the Fred’s Pollard …
Props
Props to them Bucs, bravo. Props to Brady, bravo. Super Bowl LV Champions. You can read all his stats as you like. Believe he has the most regular season wins, yards, touchdowns, Super Bowl wins as a quarterback in history. He’s from the San Francisco Bay Area, from which I hail and still reside, too. …
Me & Dad
Back to back tribute, Howie Lud. Three years gone, though his memory lives on, On in what he thought, what he taught, what he was, Was so much, to so many, still that today, Filled up, love, gotta say, The math and the sport, the way, and music too, not afraid, come what may, he …
Remembering Howie, Thanking Vitas
My dad died three years ago this week. Super Bowl Sunday morning, 2018. Remembering him a lot lately; when even I need patience, he comes to mind. Steadfast? Yep, that too. This year I’m also remembering the great care he got, we all got, through Vitas Healthcare. They provided solid hospice care to him; they …
Lunch With ALL, School Days, COVID
The daily spin. Mid-day, mid-week just now, but over the last year. I have to remind myself, “you’re so lucky to have this time.” Whew. Plates of food here and there, small bowls of cut fruit too. All amongst papers and books, pencils and pens. Quite a sense of immediate disarray. Sometimes the banter is …
