“Even a thousand mile journey begins with a single step...”, so the saying goes. Lots going on? Take this approach. More getting piled on? Same approach. One thing at a time; that’s all you can do, no matter how many things you have to do. ONE THING AT A TIME. So do the next thing. …

Just A Walk
Around the block, just a walk, a little time, Friday night, me and the dogs, the dogs and me, sunset to the west, gentle breeze, Cooling off the day, cooling off the week, the bumps, and struggles, in my head anyway, anyway, Anyway I can pause, take a break, take a few moments to reset, …
ISO Simple
ISO simple, say what you do, do what you say. Not so simple all the time. Not so simple when everyone’s not on board. “Whatever...”, or worse. Slippery slope to no so simple. Slippery slope to non-compliant; on paper, but then, can you recover, adjust, improve. That’s the point, right? Improve. IMPROVE. Say what you …
Crackle
Radio sounds, waft through the house, from the front, from the back, same channel, crackle into the air. Local jazz station, my radios don’t tune in so well. But I love it anyway. And I could stream digital but, would rather not. The crackle, something about it, from the past, like the music, reminding me …

A Child’s Wisdom
“This is peaceful” - Levi, my son, as we walked the woods recently with his sisters. Wind in the trees, sound like rushing water. So close to the metropolis of a million people, yet a world away too. Well-worn dirt paths, trails much traveled, loved. These places, those I want to insure my children know, …
Lyrics Post: “The Trees”
Timeless, and fitting. “There is unrest in the forestThere is trouble with the treesFor the maples want more sunlightAnd the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples(And they're quite convinced they're right)They say the oaks are just too loftyAnd they grab up all the lightBut the oaks can't help their feelingsIf they like …
Short
Not the measure of height, but measure of materials, do we got enough to go? Do we got enough to build what we need? What the schedule says, demands, screams for. Life of a planner, manufacturing life, too much, not enough, go go go again. What’s short? Can we pull-in? Can’t make the schedule if …
