The day some honor all those deemed “saints” by the church. Maybe that’s even small “c” church; all groups have those model folks others are inspired to emulate. Good idea to learn from those who’ve gone before us, those who have set a good example, who have showed us the way. Those who live in …

All Hallows’ Eve
Dia De Los Muertos. Wasn’t raised it part of our family now; My kids lead the way with the tradition; glad to have this modest, make-shift altar in honor of those who have crossed over; notably my dad, things he liked too. Others honored as well tho’, on the “ofrenda”, you are all remembered, and …
Lyrics Post: “Lola”
Another one from way back; I think I first heard it in college. I’ve belted it out in sing-a-longs dozens of times. The Kinks brought it to us. What a gift. "Lola" I met her in a club down in old SohoWhere you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version - Coca-Cola:]C O …

Medvedev: A Few Thoughts
The stars aligned, got to watch the final few games of the US Open. Homage to my dad in a way, as he was a lifelong tennis player and coach. Medvedev’s Triumph; inspired. I didn’t know the struggles; all the more respect, first Grand Slam Win. Really fun to watch the win. The funky celebration, …

Consider Your Socks
I consider my socks often, most work day mornings. Tho’ few people ever see them, my choice each day helps me set the tone. I like fun socks. Consider them. Simple pleasure, last a long time, joy repeated again and again. GOOD.
Lyrics Post: “Jaded”
Conflict, disagreement, irresponsible governance, selfish, disease, war, rebuked love…all (and more) to be jaded by. I refuse to accept these as the last word. Circumstance and Evil will not win in the end. But this song…”Jaded”…from a while back, well, Green Day ripped through a good one here… “ Somebody keep my balanceI think I'm …
Slog Through
Some days, weeks, longer, Feels like we’re slogging through. Keep a little smile on the face, head down to the grindstone, thankful for what we have, Undertone though? Slogging through, legs heavy, thick on your mind, in the back, Slow go. It’s this very time, each time, to stop the slide, To pause and give …
