Happened on The Masters Sunday afternoon, round four, final; Rory McIlory in the hunt, a few other aces right around him. Plenty to do, not optimal to sit and watch so I mulled about in chores, pausing as the last hour of shots were made, McIlory had a shot to win, a final put on …

Ups & Downs
UPs & downs, life’s full of them. Just what does that mean? Mostly I think it’s about experiences and happenings that are widely perceived as “positive” or “negative”. Come to think of it though, at least in my experience and thinking about that phrase and characterization, it might be more about the ups and downs …
Revisiting Angst
Funny thing the state I’m in, chronic angst settled in, deep within, Comes and goes most frequent as the day begins, active examination my best method to cope, happens in, No time does it settle, ebb, flow, don’t you know the way I find peace, lean in, wash over me again and again and then …
Just Waiting? Sometimes, GOOD
Funny thing about taking action, sometimes it’s best not to. In many lines of work and human endeavor otherwise, we’re primed to be proactive, to anticipate, to be assertive… Perhaps a more sound fundamental approach is to be first simply forward thinking. Evaluate, consider, plan, sure…but actions aren’t always best taken early…sometimes after weighing all …

Fast forward, grind through three hours to first drafts, better footing, pay the man, gotta …
In My Room
In my room, sanctuary, found, old and knew alike, whether eight or 18 or 58, a place to retreat, find respite, focus, and get shit done, In my little house, just big enough for our family, finding your own space, a nook, a place to be, You, unsure, or very certain, either way, finding your …
Silly Indulgence, 9:31
Just the other day, Just a silly indulgence chose, Did a u-turn to get there, seemed so right, Double Cheese and a McChicken, So quick did it do, nine minutes, thirty one seconds, six dollars and some change, so tasty, not strange, Tho’ silly for sure, lucky for sure I am to have the chance …
Spit Bars
Spent a few hours in detox, spitting bars, listening to the magic unfold, Detox from the week, the day, the hour, putting it all together, letting it all go, listening to the bars, fold out, listening to the words, flow, Black Thought, Lin-Manuel, Daveed, All masters, no disaster, no question, words, idea, ideas, rhythm, wrap, …
