Apple Walk, Apple Walk, got to try an Apple Walk, Down the road a ways from my house, down Pruneridge Avenue - named for a now long-passed valley industry - now a road that dead-ends at Apple, I’ll go that far, then turn around and head back home, the journey not the destination on a …

Twin Demons
Fear is the enemy, hands down, Stops us from so many things, holds us up, back, f*cks us, no doubt. Anxiety the twin demon, slithering, slipping us up, also f*cking us up, age 8 to 98, When does it end?! Only when we face it and transcend it and live with it, not letting either …
Ball Field
Went to a Little League Playoff last night after work; a couple of good friends, their kid, was playing. The Yard Goats. The Goats were down, then up big, and then lost in the last inning. Pitching sorta fell apart. I bet typical for 12 year olds; maybe 18 and 28 year olds too. Tough …

Summer Knocking
Funny thing, Summer Time. As students, we’re wired to having that time off, a break…13 years we spend conditioned to this yearly pace and pattern. I grew up in a teacher family, so that structure was all the more re-enforced. But all that said, gotta say, I think it’s also important to counterbalance, Realize that …
The Clown & The Cobra
Funny thing, what images stick with us, and what images creep into our sub-conscious, only to later, rather strangely appear in dreams. Talking to my younger daughter (she’s 9) not too long ago, she mentioned a dream she had, something about a clown and a cobra. I don’t recall the details, but I do recall …

Frenetic pace of the business world, the changing demands, dynamics pressing nearly every moment, what to say? Say that mindfulness helps either way. Centered, focused, distractions recede, how, …
