Yesterday, ha! Had forgotten a post was already written, scheduled; didn’t see the app updated with it listed. So wrote another, set it up to launch, that made two blog posts for one day. No matter, double the good for the day, 2 is better than none, gotta say. Fun to write, everyday. Feel more …

Ocean Therapy
I always seem to forget the value, the worth, the peace, of Ocean Therapy. Just being there, that’s all it really takes. The breeze, the water, the sound, the constant, demands attention, quietly, consistently, relentlessly there, of of it, insistent. How long could I sit there? One hour, six, twelve?

Lyrics Post: “Winds of Change” – Scorpions
Thirty years ago this song came out. It spoke to the times, spoke of change, spoke of one person's experience, mirroring the feelings of many. Including me. I was deep in that time of change. I had walked the same paths. Wondering. Longing. Wanting. Thirty years later, the song still captures that time, that hope, …

Lyrics Post: “Ghost Rider”
Of RUSH lyrics, I could go on and on. And I do, often enough. Yet another magical song that rocks and soothes and feeds the soul, for me. But first... I happened upon the following comment on a YouTube channel while listening to RUSH via that medium recently. Different song, different person's feedback, but similar …
Scenes From “Stay-cation” 2020
Doing, Playing, Reading, Playing, More Doing, Being Clearing the yard, phase 1. Good read at the DMV, and anywhere really. Building and creativity. Old-school dinosaur chasing person upstairs. Coffee take-out. America. Ride in pick-up.
Hamilton: Two Songs, Different Perspectives, One Truth
[Reposted from last week, these two songs in the context of the whole Hamilton sequence, and because they are so pivotal to his story.] Hamilton’s intellect and courage and vision and words, all were not enough to save his marriage after his adultery. Though still married in title, only a shell remained. The trust and …

Hamilton: A Side Note
A side note to provide a bit of added explanation - in case needed - as to why all the Hamilton lyrics post. Love the musical. A Saw it in San Francisco a couple years ago with my wife; she was so excited she saw it a second time the next weekend. The music has …
