We thought, *I* thought, this song was quite the lark back in 1983, all synthesized and right in tune with the era. How fun! And still is. And maybe it’s time to have a little more of that these days... S-S-S-S, A-A-A-A, F-F-F-F, E-E-E-E, T-T-T-T, Y-Y-Y-Y Safety...dance... We can dance if we want to We …

My grandpa was the first one I knew who got up early. He rose around 5am most mornings. I never understood, as a kid. I LOVE to sleep. But now I have little kids. Plenty of early mornings on that front; at least used to be. And now with work (mostly), it's up earlier and …
Having a place and a means of doing so. Writing. Ease makes all the difference. I've had this blog for about six years. I wrote sporadically for the first several years; I became more committed to the frequency after reading Fred Wilson's blog. @avc. Fred writes there every day. It inspired me. So I committed …
“Nature finds a way.” This line from Jurassic Park rings true for me. We humans, like most all of the 7.8 billion on the planet, don’t think much day-to-day about the natural world around us. I don’t say this to disparage; life is busy and hard often times, so we likely are distracted a lot …
New week, new beginnings, new attitude, reset each day. New-found Joy: Cards with the Kids Early at work, Saturday Grateful for the Likes New pathways Ketchup did well this week Active Saturday, good end to the week
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 …
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; …
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 …
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
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. But part of the American (global?) society I believe in and strive to move forward is in basic areas, there should be access for all. Clean water. Sanitation. Healthy food sources. Basic education. …
