Thinking about the Veterans Day holiday yesterday, and sharing these thoughts intentionally today, the day AFTER the holiday, to make a particular point. In this day and era, when the United States has Volunteer Service to maintain our military readiness and service; In this day and era when social media and 24-hour news cycle and …
Shipping: Going to Zero
The statistic in the front of this podcast grabbed me; bet it grabs you too: "If all the ocean line shipping companies together as one country, they would be the 6th largest polluter on the planet." Let's clean things up. one.npr.org/i/758045669:777818364
What We Do, Redeux
Just a couple days ago, I had a post entitled "What We Do." Well, here a slightly different take — I'm revisiting that title again. Busy weekend finished up with Sunday afternoon grocery run, and then between the wife and me, putting three new dishes together for dinner. We worked well together in our little …

Lyrics Post: “New Shoes”

Desert Addendum: Cold Brew
First-hand account of “micro-desert” experience from the last twenty-four hours. I have like half a dozen things that need to come together this week, outside of regular work. I stalled out with progress on three in a row last night. It was a little frustrating. The near two-hour commute home didn’t help much. And so …
