What a day. I had high hopes. Some cool things happened to be sure. There was some good learning on my part. Progress at work, getting better bit by bit. Then things stalled out near the end of the day, strung out by some bumps at home, mostly in my own head. Just writing that …

“White Noise”
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 …
A Little Slice of Joy
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, …
Outside Looking In
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’s in that room?
Hmm...Room 1411...? I wonder what’s in that room. What do they do in there? It’s good to be curious. It’s good to ask questions. Keep wondering, keep asking, keep learning. Be interested in things around you. That approach everyday will keep your mind sharp. GOOD.

Blog Like a Tweet: “Do More Good.”
This idea for me, “do more good” translates to “post daily.” Get the good out there. Whatever you got. Share it. Sometimes it’s thin, and just a “blog like a tweet”...but the last four months of 2019 laid the groundwork for a new and productive writing habit into the new year. This upside, a nice …
Camaraderie First
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. …
Into The Twenties
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 …
Lion Mike, Lions All, We Serve
The Monday before Thanksgiving our local Lions club delivered holiday dinner, plus extra food staples, for 170 plus families in need in our community. The majority of our members, along with some awesome “civilian” volunteers, turn out over the three days prior to do with work planning, setting up at the grocery stores where we …
