Draw The Line

So many different references this simple phrase represents; it all boils down to a parameter. That which you don’t want to cross. Looking back to Monday, it was a company holiday, but I’d been thinking about doing a little work anyway as a primer for the week. I resisted. I drew the line at working …

This written about three years back; I’ve since gone throughout divorce and now on reset. But you know, all of this sentiment still holds. It’s the people in your life that matter. GOOD. “Spent part of this past weekend with a few of my wife’s old friends. Good little bunch of folks, nice to have …

Strange Solace

Working in the warehouse today, standing in-between the looming racks of material,pallets up high, down low, also looses boxes neatly stacked. I'm between PL1 and PL2. Gray, rainy day outside, much needed rain for our drought-stricken state. The weather turned wet yesterday, and is expected to continue throughout today. Near the location I'm working in …
