Another one from way back; I think I first heard it in college. I’ve belted it out in sing-a-longs dozens of times. The Kinks brought it to us. What a gift. "Lola" I met her in a club down in old SohoWhere you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version - Coca-Cola:]C O …
Front Row Seat
Front row seat to the ocean, to the coast, to the coming storm. Sitting, staring. Need to do it more. GOOD.
Default: Ponder
I woke up straight out of sleep recently in the dark, 445am. That’s around the usual time during the week I wake up. I slipped pretty quickly to prayer; it’s a cycle of gratitude, reflection, forgiveness, and good thoughts for others. I do it most mornings to set my head straight to start the day. …
Elevate: Another Voice from the Waters :: GOOD
I like the idea of elevating others’ voices with this blog. This voice from the ether, the far away waters off the coast of Ireland, A colleague’s sister, a seafarer, kindred spirit half a world away, yet perspective similar, soothing, her words speak truth… Amen amen~
Reflections: Tribe, Time Off…Transitory?
As I wind up a few days with old friends, in a place that I find particularly peaceful and restorative, I reflect, Just what is it that makes this time so valuable, powerful, desired? How can I create more of this mindset in my daily life? How can I make the hustle and bustle of …

Respite, Recharge, Coast
The elements. The sounds. The feelings. Neskowin has the particular magic only a coastal place offers. I love the mountains too, for sure, but, Well the ocean is the x-factor, for eternal goodness, sound, vibe. I love it. And this particular coastal place, there’s just few places like it that I’ve been to that make …
Lyrics Post: “Cheeseburger In Paradise”
Such a good song. Makes my mouth water. : - ) This song, particularly timely as we head into this soulful weekend on the coast; making our usual stop at Helvetia Tavern, home of the Jumbo Cheeseburger. Mmm mmm GOOD. "Cheeseburger In Paradise" Tried to amend my carnivorous habitsMade it nearly seventy daysLosin' weight without …
Sleep and Your Brain
The linkage between sleep and brain disease (think Alzheimer's and other degenerative conditions). Growing evidence. Your body has processes established to help your brain stay health. Our relatively modern human practices sometimes get in the way: think electricity and light at night, which allows us to do more after dark; think personal and professional demands …
The Elder, My Daughter / Partner
A fresh idea came to mind recently; I think it might have some momentum. Elevate her, it helps us both. Listening. Enjoying. Engaging. In this new family model, we sure benefit from better cooperation and teamwork. Easier all around with everyone aligned. Giving it a try, anyway. It’s a new approach, expanded mindset on my …
