I really like numbers and letters, and not just in the usual, funny how my quirky self is drawn this way, Like a high school reunion reference, “SCHS1985R40” or “SC85R40”, our own conjured up thing, I like the way it looks, sounds, feels, feelings will be running high the next couple days as we come …

Least We Forget
Least we forget - and I almost did - 9/11/2001. Four attacks on American soil. The Twin Towers collapsed. The Pentagon was struck. Nearly 3,000 people died on that day. The American military still fights factions of the terror networks at fueled the attacks some twenty years later. NEVER FORGET.
Troika Rally
A long while back - decades - older guys I looked up to used to say the word “rally” on occasion; for what ever reason, I latched on to it. Impressionable years! Rally as in, “making extra effort to claw back, participate, get caught up, get ahead…”, I still use the word today. As in …
Beaten Down
Silly things happen, weird how they make me feel beaten down sometimes, Nothing things that don’t amount to much, Can’t find this, can’t find that, didn’t get that done, didn’t get this done, Nothing things that obviously add up to something in my brain, to react this way, feel this way, some sort of incompetence, …
Fight The Grumpy
Before I sleep, lying in the dark, I remember the day, the weekend, the many moments seem to be fighting the grumpy, it’s deep with me, deep, so probably, when patients short, and behavior and attitudes are sharp, it’s easy to let the grumpy out, That’s the very moment, that’s the moment to fight the …
Fleeting Fun, Soul’s Rejoice
How do you relax? It’s fleeting fun, the idea, “to relax”, so many different ways to imagine, experience what that feels like, Most often it feels it happens for me in the dark, dim light, quiet, only the breeze, or fans, or wind, chimes, or ocean, physical dynamics that trigger my body is desire to …
Jeff’s Stage Of Grief: “Back At It”
Gotta get back to work. “Alrighty, chin up, back at it. It’s just hard. But life is hard (as my kids get tired of me reminding them), So never mind, let’s go ~~~” That doesn’t mean I’m ready, that doesn’t mean I’m over it, it just means I need to keep going forward. One more …
Keep Going
I ended the last post with this phrase: KEEP GOING. It’s the f*cking maxim about all else. Right up there with LOVE. Keep going. Don’t give up. Your hour has not arrived. We know not the hour or the day and it’s not our job to decide that. I have something to say about that. …
Just Life, Just Hard
I say this one all the time. I’m sure my kids want to kick me in the teeth over the matter. Life is hard. It’s just a fact. Just life, just hard. Of course for major life events, tragedies, loses, there’s additional factors that can come into play, empathy and of course love, and time…TIME…these …
It Will Never Be The Same
Certainly true, it will never be the same. This idea plays to a central tenet I preach all the time: The only constant is change. I preach it because I struggle with it. I think we all do. Life is hard. Obstacles present all the time, changing parameters, changing immediate realities, you get the idea. …
