My nightly request, daily request, chiding, striving, cajoling my three, Kids, please, do as I ask, prod, press, pray, For quiet, happy, helpful, Kids, Good Night.
Lyrics Post: “Beast of Burden”
It’s a cool song, “Beast of Burden” by The Rolling Stones. But it’s the beat, the drums, the drummer, that’s what this post is about. The band’s drummer, Charlie Watts, died this week at the age of 80. Listening to a remembrance on the radio, I was struck by two points. First, he is regarded …
Consider Your Socks
I consider my socks often, most work day mornings. Tho’ few people ever see them, my choice each day helps me set the tone. I like fun socks. Consider them. Simple pleasure, last a long time, joy repeated again and again. GOOD.
Insomniac Interlude
Been a year maybe, since this started; since the wheels of divorce started turning, Middle of the night, dreams wake me, clock stares back at me, words pour out. In my mind churning, this and that in flux, uncertain, unsettled. Mine to manage, improve, solve. What to do, say? Anyway, plenty of time to manage, …
Why Write, To Blog
I think I’ve talked about this before, why I write and more important, why some of that writing — most these days — ends up here. It’s simple. This is me.

Kelsey Snell and Ayesha Roscoe are regulars on the pod, but Clare Lombardo was a voice I'd not heard prior. And when they …

Lyrics Post: “Jaded”
Conflict, disagreement, irresponsible governance, selfish, disease, war, rebuked love…all (and more) to be jaded by. I refuse to accept these as the last word. Circumstance and Evil will not win in the end. But this song…”Jaded”…from a while back, well, Green Day ripped through a good one here… “ Somebody keep my balanceI think I'm …
“…Nobody’s Bargain…”
“…but hell, a little touch up and a little paint…” Frankly, this lyric came to mind recently as I was thinking about myself…middle-aged guy, recently single, a little flabby, frumpy… It might sound like I’m being critical of myself, but I think it’s more just honest, Like everyone, I am who I am and where …
