I’m between good and bad most of the time; maybe we all are. The Devil and The Angel, each shoulder. Aren’t we all like that? If we’re honest, it must be so, must be human nature, In between sun-up and sundown, so much happens, so much, so uncertain, so unsure, then sure, sometimes, in between, …
Lyrics Post: “Numpty” Paulo Nutini
Not a song I woulda thought an immediate candidate for this blog, but then… This happened… remembering the first single all those years ago… Not so long ago, but a bit back… And then revisiting… And enjoying… And then this… Hey, la, la La, la Yeah Building a house so it can fall at the …

And this pic attached, also epic, the World Champion working for Cavendish in the final stage. Inspired. GOOD.
Back to Basics
Hamburgers and hot dogs. Charcoal grill. Sleep in Saturday. Dinner with the neighbor. Five deep breaths. Extra time in the back yard. Friendly conversation. Open mind. Sleep in Sunday. Patience. Weber.
Night Comes
Night comes none to soon. Night time brings the darkness, the quiet, the cozy. My joy, palpable; my eyes yearn to close, win out, So so good, so so right, Good Night.
The Way
These three showing me the way. No shit no líe, it's been a rough last twelve or so months. Standing up and stepping up for these three has given me more purpose and power than expected. So grateful for them, for the foundation they create...just by being. So blessed I am to have them in …

Again and again I thought about how important it is to appreciate and celebrate the ordinary.
