From my own little corner of the Work From Home (WFH) World -- in between the laundry area and the hot-water heater, my own standing desk work space -- a few thoughts to share. Or more like a list to share, actually. 1/ Make your work space comfortable, welcoming (to you), and quiet. 2/ Be …
Shelter-In-Place: Home Life, Work Life, and COVID19
I had a conversation a while back with my brother, a successful business guy in HR/Talent Acquisition. He's got plenty of experience working with teams around the world for various companies; the key, common denominator is that his "work day" pretty close to 24 hours, given where the people he supports live and work. In …

Outside, Inside, Cope, Persevere
Words to the page to chronicle this time, find some pause, some answers. Never before have we been in a place like this, time like this, everything upside down, uncertain. Like war-time; our people throughout our nation’s lands, East to West, North to South, threatened by disease, a plague. Think about what's outside, what's inside. That's …
Celebrate the Day
Thankful for this day, whatever it may bring. Thankful to be here, where ever here is. Thankful for all that I've seen, experienced, been. Thankful for all that I will see, will experience, will be. My faults, my mistakes, my selfishness, may it all wash away. May I start this day, and make this day, …
Meet The Moment
As the COVID19 virus pandemic continues to spread in the United States and around the world — or more precisely, as our awareness of the scope of the outbreak becomes better understood through testing — thoughts continue to develop on all manner on the effect the crisis is, and will have on all manner of …
The New Normal
Strange times right now. I've been saying that for some, thinking it a lot more. The current COVID-19 pandemic, this situ bares in stark relief the bigger picture frame I've been thinking about for a while. Circumstances changing, expected some, some not expected; no matter either way, change, adjust we must. These neubulus images offered, …
Lyrics Post: “Baba O’Riley”
A LONG time ago I was introduced to this band. An old friend who I'm in touch with still today -- though admittedly, not as frequently as I'd like -- was the one who opened my eyes. Since then, I've seen "for miles and miles...", and so still appreciate the energy and creative sound that …
“Shelter In Place”, Day 2
Wednesday, 03/18/2020: Just a couple days ago we heard the news that six of the counties in the San Francisco Bay Area, are directed by public order to "shelter in place" for the next three weeks. Put simply, that means stay home, take care of your family, do what work you can (if any) from …
“Be Like the Irish, and…”
As some celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day today, a little different take to share. For me, the obvious thoughts first go to the Irish People; weird maybe, but that’s what comes to mind initially. I’ve got some Irish Blood in me, I suspect that’s why. Then I think about the man himself, Patrick. Who was he, …
Adjustment & Normalcy
How does it feel when crisis hits? Or even if just the "unforeseen" circumstance that takes hold...? It can be unsettling, make us feel uncertain, not sure which way to go, what to do next. This COVID-19 virus pandemic that's running roughshod over everything just now, we might say that's making everyone uneasy. We might …
