Funny word, ketchup. Tomato-based sauce used around the world. And then there’s its alternate, catsup. Different word, same meaning. Then there’s “catch-up” - as in being behind, then catching up with others, or the target quantity, or similar. Today is Saturday, but I’m at work for a few hours to catch-up. More work than hours …
Sounds I Like
There are a lot of sounds I like; they make me happy; I can’t really explain why. Sounds like... The ice maker dropping ice; The neighbor’s car starting in the pre-dawn hours; The heater running in the garage; The kids’ quieting down to a whisper; The rattle of scooping whole coffee beans into the grinder; …
Lyrics Post: “The Three R’s”
Good tune, good lyric, good message... Do the math, teach your kids, do the same. "The 3 R's" Three it's a magic numberYes it is, it's a magic numberBecause two times three is sixAnd three times six is eighteenAnd the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is R We've got three R's we're going to talk …
Super Power?
What if what you thought was your greatest liability actually your super power instead? I think that’s it. That’s the post. Think about it. #halffullallgood
Access for All
This catch-phrase might seem pie-in-the-sky. Surely not everyone can be on the same footing, have the same access to resources. Maybe not.

2/5 3rd, 1/5 4th Quarters Break

GOOD: Misc.
Sometimes a few images say a lot. Here’s a recap of recent times in my neck of the woods. More time here lately. More of this lately. Early Time, Dogs Walk, Good Starts Super Food. Work Bag, On-site or WFH. Lions Activities Providing Some Balance. More time in front of screen, less active. Today? A …
Gradual, Acceptance
Gradually it gets easier. Maybe that's big picture conventional wisdom. Over time, if you stay at something, you're bound to get better; the work is bound to get easier. Not sure about timelines; it depends on the topic, the matter at hand, the activities you're engaged in, the skills you're developing. There's the "10,000 hour …
Grinder
A Grinder is person that doesn't give up. A Grinder just keeps at it, no matter the failures, the struggles, the obstacles that present themselves. It's hard to be a Grinder. On my best days I think of myself in this way. Actually, that's not true. On some of my worst days I think I'm …

Need this energy about now...so sharing this one again... Lyrics Post: “Curbside Prophet”, Jason Mraz Heard this one originally back in 2005, from one of my oldest friends and true music lover, Scott Murph. Still grateful for that lead-in, all these years later. Funky sound, fun lyrics, GOOD. “I'm just a curbside prophet With my …
