Weird feeling, let me attempt to explain a little. My family structure, a new chapter, still searching for settled. Family under two households, a second divorce, forward still, the kids the common denominator that we remain committed to, whatever “family” looks like anew? We’ll see. My work life, jobs shifted, a position I accepted, then …

Lyrics Post: “Solsbury Hill”
So long ago, still magical. "Solsbury Hill" Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen had no choice I did not …
Two Screens By My Side
How I consume and how I create the words I most often share. Yes indeed, I write long form and certainly complete business work tasks on a laptop - it’s the most practical and efficient way to accomplish those activities. But then there’s everyday reading, writing, blogging, posting, sharing...and those activities, those are of a …
Reflections for Father’s Day
Reflecting on this day, worthwhile indeed, to say, thankful for this day. Father’s Day. On this day, funny thing, things on my mind. I think about my own dad, now gone three years. I think about what he was to me, really, so much, maybe everything, to me. He helped me be me, the best …
Roadtrip
Not an ordinary road trip today; quite short; about 32 hours, all told. Friends moving to Vancouver, WA, 574 miles away. Driving their cars north; one extra car left behind. I and another friend team driving that stray left behind. Just this week as I’m thinking about the trip. Glad our friend agreed to make …
Lyrics Post: “Mediate”

"Mediate" Hallucinate Dessegregate Mediate Alleviate Try not to hate Love your mate Don't suffocate on your own hate Designate your love as fate A one world state As human freight The number eight A white black …
And Again, Follow The Muse
Recent piece on living a creative life; even if it’s not your profession, per se’, so important to find it and do it. Example? An old school friend, actually through my brother. A tech professional by job, an artist by vocation, creative in both endeavors, I suppose. He draws, doodles, paints, scribbles, whatever inspires him, …
Flag Day, ‘85
36 years ago, 1985. I graduated from high school on Friday, that Flag Day, 1985. There were 377 of us that day. I’ve known some of them since before high school; for sure on that day, I felt connected to every one of them. They were my first tribe. Kindred spirits, launched into the world …
Summer Season
Summer is just upon us and the kids are out of school. Last season we set up a tent in the back yard for a handful of backyard camp-outs. The plan is the same for this summer; maybe a few more nights even. And as the kids have gotten bigger, it was time to upgrade …
Well, Being
Well, I find myself being, again in this space, this place, dull aches, a few pains, run-down, somewhat displaced. Dull in the head, shoulders heavy, thick. Slowed by the world around somehow, usually buoyed. Reduce to min, simmer on low, covered, dozing, deep. Thick in the brain, pause the constant activities and responsibilities and the …
