Trying to make them when I can, moments for the kids, moments for fun. Not a big thinker most of the time, more an opportunist, open to make it happen if the desire and window of time opens. Case in point? Mid-Sunday afternoon, at a local park, kids playing, then someone has to go potty, …

Lyrics Post: “Second Nature”
This one from RUSH, all those years ago… Still speaks, still magic… "Second Nature" A memo to a higher officeOpen letter to the powers that beTo a god, a king, a head of stateA captain of industryTo the movers and the shakers...Can't everybody see? It ought to be second natureI mean, the places where we …
A Tribute: Grandpa Mort
Family, parties, storytelling, all catalysts to express and experience love. His daughter, mother to my sisters-in-law, humbled me with a gift a few years, a home-made holidays vest. The nickname “Mort”… from last name Morton. What a great bunch, that family; I never met Grandpa Mort, but I know his daughter. One of the truest …
Same
Same stresses, same responsibilities, each day, Week day, weekend, same feelings rushing back, through, Too many things, not enough hours, time evaporates, Same feeling, same response, flip the switch, make it different, Same stresses spool up, Up to me too, Make it different.
Make Do
Might have shared this theme before, Worth repeating if so, Thumping headache, no meds? Make do. Don’t have your favorite pillow to sleep with? Make do. Kids over tired? You too? Make do. Note sure about the outcome? Things not perfect? Wish things were different? Make do.
Funny Thing
It’s a funny thing, my attitude into the day, the week, When I first wake, it often comes crashing down…the list is long, things rush into my mind, My kids, my divorce, a few nagging work issues, the state of my community, the state, the country, the many conflict areas of the world, No shit, …
What I Do
This blog, and writing in general, it’s what I do. I mean, I’ve got a day job too, working stiff, what I’d call “business operations” just now, it’s a good gig, fine folks, lots of upside, lots of learning, a higher purpose, I drank the Kool-Aid for sure…”the promise of better health, diseases cured, through …
How It Goes
How It Goes, What I hope anyway, something like this, something like today, Fun adventure to see my auntie, the kids’ great aunt, SF Lady, not sure what’s in store, Turns out great, dining spot great, Visit great, Grateful for the time. Then one, then two stops in SF, Two parks, both fun, great spots …
Easy Start
She relishes the easy start to the day. No immediate obligation, no immediate demands. Dim light of early morning sifts through the drapes, soft crackle of the heater, heavy covers spilled over her. Cozy. If a kid come in, it will be a morning cuddle, secretly she hopes one does. Even two are welcome, just …
Successful Feast
That’s what I’d say in a nutshell, It was a successful feast in every sense of the word… Good company, Good food, Kids had a fun day, Wrapped it up with my bro… GOOD. And THANKFUL Kitchen prep. Bird Ready. Table Ready Fire Ready Brothers, Separate Feasts, Together to Close The Night
1/2_Full, All GOOD
