A bunch in life might go in this category. I think we humans crave stability as a result. Trying to create predictable, repeatable outcomes. But it doesn’t always go that way. The numbers you thought were correct aren’t. People you work with get sick or otherwise are unavailable to help with an important project. There’s …

On Track
How do you stay on track? Time is the obvious reference. How long does it take to complete a task? How much time do you have? That’s the guide we might often use. Our gauge to “percentage completed.” And then when we fall behind, we go back and consider... What can I do differently to …
At It Again: Seeking…
Calm. Respite. Comfort. A good meal. The energy and the attitude and the grace to carry it all forward into the week. All of the Above. YES.
Void
What fills the void? Not sure, what do I mean? In your personal time? In your work time? In your soul? The times when things seem unsettled, uncertain, a little {or a lot} empty. I find it’s things, the little things, day-to-day, these are the things that fill the void, that make it all worth …
A Week In Pictures
What a week; so many different aspects; here are some of the highlights. Early up, more often; helps sooth the anxieties of the day. Halloween is coming; decorations in the neighborhood. One of my favorite bands from long ago; listened anew; it was great. That debate; WOW; I wish I’d had a bit of whisky …
Turmoil? What You Might Do
Pandemic life? Economic downturn? Might just be the best time to start a business. How to come up with an idea? The old adage is true: SOLVE A PROBLEM. That is the essence of a business. The true entrepreneur is the hero's story. Joseph Campbell paints it well, the parallels, the path. Of this pandemic …
Lyrics Post: “Stairway to Cleveland”
Another one to thank my brother for, or at least, for the reminder. I think he heard this band from me originally. We were pretty young. Sorting out our parents’ music, classic rock and roll (at the time), heavy metal coming up, and early 80’s sound. This band was from the SF Bay Area, so …
In the Wake of Debate
What did we learn tonight? Anything new? Two candidates trying to make a case, who’s case? Hard to tell. Attacks attacks attacks. Rude, and rude in reply. Off topic, off the rails, unhinged, unraveled. One thing I took away, one thing again and again: I want a president who will lift up the country, lead …
Math: Break It Down
It's like a never ending puzzle, doing math problems. There's always another problem, always another bunch of numbers to fiddle with. Numbers are infinite, and so are the possibilities. My dad was a math teacher. In point of fact, his college degree was in Mathematics. He was good at it. And he loved to help …
Back to the Wild
It was such a success, we did it again. Such a simple act, readily accessible, waiting for you, for me. We were out on a pedal boat, sparkling gold, something like the sun off the water. Greens and blues and birds, several types. Lucky to have the chance to be on the water. Lucky to …
