Just another pandemic weekend, with a few bonus tidbits. One I’ve shared here the last couple weeks: another Friday/Saturday combo camping with the kids; a twist this time, so stay tuned on that front. Getting the used to sleeping outside; helping the cope with the low-level stress of sleeping on the ground; and dealing with …

Listen to Them Sleep
Listening to my kids sleep always brings me joy. There’s a few reasons, at least. Mostly it’s because they’re so peaceful, steady breaths in and out. If there’s enough light to see their relaxed faces, all the better. And as they can create a whirlwind of activity sometimes, it’s nice to see this other, less …
Lyrics Post: “Release”
29 years ago. This song goes back. Hard to believe. Speaks to me more now than it did then. From Pearl Jam, “Ten.” What an epic album that was; is. GOOD. RELEASE. “Release" I see the worldFeel the chillWhich way to goWindowsillI see the wordsOn a rocking horse of timeI see the birds in the …
Words: Attitude & Spirit Fortitude
No big revelation, I think that on the regular: I’m not like most folks. I fall into the lyrics of songs pretty easy. That’s part of why I post lyrics so often. Easy share, easy way to let you in; if you want in, that is. So this isn’t a regular lyrics post; more of …
Go With The Flow
Let it ride, let it go, go with the flow. That right there is a solid gold tenant of successful parenting, and may successful living overall. Of course there are times when you need to lean in and insist on an agenda, actions, compliance. That’s definitely true. That said, I suspect learning when to go …
The Only Thing To Do…
The only thing to do is keep going. It’s a new week, keep going. It’s a new day, keep going. Your relationships are a little funky; maybe a lot funky. Keep going. You’ve made the same errors more times than you’d like, maybe more thank you can count, keep going. It’s hard, keep going. You’re …
Ordinary Time
If you check out this blog periodically, you might notice Sundays of late, I’ve had some reference / little lesson or take I’ve picked up from a weekend Bible reading. This time around, I’m just thinking about Ordinary Time; I think the Church uses this term to reference the time between Easter and Christmas seasons. …
Let Love Stand
That’s it, I think. That’s the blog post for today. It’s love like a tweet. Blog like a tweet: LET LOVE STAND.
Lyrics Post: “Ghost Rider”
Of RUSH lyrics, I could go on and on. And I do, often enough. Yet another magical song that rocks and soothes and feeds the soul, for me. But first... I happened upon the following comment on a YouTube channel while listening to RUSH via that medium recently. Different song, different person's feedback, but similar …
Spool Up
I love this term. Maybe I like it because it’s sometimes used to reference an aircraft engine warming after being turned on. At least, that’s what’s in my head... : - ) I looked it up, so for all my engineer / machine-thinking friends, I found this, related to “turbo power”: “Turbo spool time is …
