Strange times right now. I've been saying that for some, thinking it a lot more. The current COVID-19 pandemic, this situ bares in stark relief the bigger picture frame I've been thinking about for a while. Circumstances changing, expected some, some not expected; no matter either way, change, adjust we must. These neubulus images offered, …

“Shelter In Place”, Day 2
Wednesday, 03/18/2020: Just a couple days ago we heard the news that six of the counties in the San Francisco Bay Area, are directed by public order to "shelter in place" for the next three weeks. Put simply, that means stay home, take care of your family, do what work you can (if any) from …
“Be Like the Irish, and…”
As some celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day today, a little different take to share. For me, the obvious thoughts first go to the Irish People; weird maybe, but that’s what comes to mind initially. I’ve got some Irish Blood in me, I suspect that’s why. Then I think about the man himself, Patrick. Who was he, …
Adjustment & Normalcy
How does it feel when crisis hits? Or even if just the "unforeseen" circumstance that takes hold...? It can be unsettling, make us feel uncertain, not sure which way to go, what to do next. This COVID-19 virus pandemic that's running roughshod over everything just now, we might say that's making everyone uneasy. We might …

Here's a little something about my humble club, one of 46,000 in more than 200 countries around the world. 51 years. FIFTY ONE YEARS. We've been …
More Color
I think I need more color in my day. Yes indeed more color, that's what I say. From time to time, I find that rhythm adds a little more color, a little more color, to the day. Often in my shirts and in my sox, splashes of color that really rock. So I’m the day …
The Creative Side
I’ve worked for a long time, and I’ve learned a lot, and had a good run so far. I’ve been a courier and a sales guy and a manager and more sales and supply chain and now. Now well into full stride, it’s time to go into overdrive on the Creative Side. OVERDIVE. LIVING THE …
Deep in Family
Things to do, do some, sure; cross a couple things off the list. Two stops to start the day, a couple three hours out, a couple stores, gather up the staples for the week, for the family. Family the reason, the purpose, what matters most, who to get back to. Who to spend time with. …
Dad Solo, Be The Rock
First, I’m not a solo dad. Let’s be clear about that. My “Better Half” and I parent together, and keep this family together as a team. So that said, I’m sitting on the couch one afternoon. I’m with my son, who’s not feeling well. He’s taking a nap just now. Watching “Free Solo”, about Alex …
