I think I’ve talked about this before, why I write and more important, why some of that writing — most these days — ends up here. It’s simple. This is me.

Lyrics Post: “Jaded”
Conflict, disagreement, irresponsible governance, selfish, disease, war, rebuked love…all (and more) to be jaded by. I refuse to accept these as the last word. Circumstance and Evil will not win in the end. But this song…”Jaded”…from a while back, well, Green Day ripped through a good one here… “ Somebody keep my balanceI think I'm …
Slog Through
Some days, weeks, longer, Feels like we’re slogging through. Keep a little smile on the face, head down to the grindstone, thankful for what we have, Undertone though?

Don’t be an American Idiot. "American Idiot" Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation under the …
JLud4 Summer Adventures 2021, Saturday
Tried again, made it, last day, Point Lobos. Foggy cool perfect through mid-day. Never enough rocks to climb on. Locale like I remember it, blessed. Lots of people here and there. Popular spot. Great views, great rocks, great water. Excitement on the way home, safe arrival, given the circumstances, all good. Sleep well? That’s the …

A Thousand Mile Journey…
“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. …
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 …
