Jerry Rig or jury rig, is the practice of making due with what you have on hand to repair something or otherwise solve a problem. Making due, that's a good life lesson. Things don't always go as we'd like; sometimes to get some result close to what we want, we have to make due, make …

Lyrics Post: “Sloop John B”
How often have I heard the song? How often have I tried to play it? Clearly not enough...so here we go again. "Sloop John B" “We come on the sloop John B My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight Well I feel so broke up …
Full of Promise
Everyday is full of promise. A day that starts in the dark, maybe a little more so. Feels that way, anyway. Do a little more. Do things a little different, a little better maybe, if you can. Your focus, your attitude, your resilience in the face of mistakes, obstacles, difficulty otherwise. Make it GOOD.
Blog Post Like A Tweet: On-Sleeve
I prefer to have it out there, often times. Most often, I think. Private journal or blog, blog’s my choice, increasingly so. Good or bad? Preferable or not so preferred? Not sure. Heart on-sleeve, thoughts on-sleeve. The main point of the blog is to share; the underlying motive, thinking others have some of the same …

Shanty Town
It’s not near Cape Town or Karachi, not even Skid Row— nothing like that scale or density of population, but in this home town of mine, San Jose, California, homelessness has over the years become a societal problem on the rise. The pandemic has only made it worse. Vast disparities of income versus the cost …
No Alarm
Settled in for the night, no alarm for the morning... ...the pillow is a little softer, the covers a little cozier... Zzzz Zzzz GOOD.
Fits and Starts
That’s about it, all I got. Fits and starts, bundled up inside. Ready to go, ready to let it ride. Full of thoughts and fits and starts and bits; bits of good wrapped up, ready for the tide. Tide of good, would of, if I could have, wrapped the whole world in love, from above, …
