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 hand in my pocket And I'm waiting for my rocket to come I'm just a …

I’ve relished it since I was a kid. The National Sleep Foundation defines “white noise” as that which reduces the difference between background sounds and “peak” sounds. Whatever you call it, I love it. As a kid it was the central air system fan in our house running in the early morning. Now it’s the …
Recently went out to the Central Valley to watch our nephew play basketball, and also celebrate my brother -in-law’s birthday. It was a little slice of joy on Sunday afternoon in Turlock, California. Lovely drive, lovely weather, fun adventure, great celebration. Nothing fancy, mind you; all the same, I had a definite sense of family, …
Came home the other night and the fam was watching “The Mandalorian.” They all have been home the last two weeks on school holiday vacation. I had to go back to work after the New Year. So I arrive to this show being on, and being told ever so politely, “Please don’t talk, we don’t …

What matters most at work? I mean, besides doing the tasks you’re paid to do? I think it's the relationships we have at work. I think it's the camaraderie. What do I mean by that? I think it boils down to common purpose, and people working together for the common cause and getting better together. …
Looking back on the 2000 "Teens", as with any retrospective, there's plenty of positive, and plenty of challenges too. Funny for me as a middle-age dude. to think about laying a firm foundation for the next ten years, the next decade, the future -- but that's how I feel about it, all the same. Our …
