Rest: Full Stop
It’s been a busy week; after a busy weekend; in the beginning of a busy year ahead; after a busy year last year. So it’s busy. On top of the usual routines I also got a Shingles Booster this week. They warned me about side effects. Most all my life I haven’t worried much about …
Job One
As I’ve gotten older and now have more than 30 years into my career, many things are more clear about life and work. In the end it’s the people in your life that matter most, especially children, especially if they’re *YOUR* kids. A recent list left on my refrigerator sums it up pretty well. It’s …
Early Morning Contrarian
Sometimes I go against the grain; sometimes I choose to buck conventual wisdom. Preferring darkness in the morning is a perfect example. I know the conventional wisdom says, “…to get going in the morning, turn on the lights to help your body and mind wake up, to engage the day; if you don’t follow this …
Roadtrip
Got back a week ago. Big event for our little fam. Nearly 1,900 miles. Six Days. Longest drive we’ve done as a family; two days in the car each way, 6-7 hours. I was impressed by how well the kids did with the monotony of long road travel. New sites and destination. So much to …
Radio
Radio. Old school. New school? Maybe, maybe, Transistor to XM, long tradition, get the word, music, game out on the waves, Sounds break the silence, connect us, lifelines to the world, from your pocket or the car or the box in the corner, To your ears, most dear, all this content, makes us content, or …
Get The Funk Out
Funk can be good or no so good, depending on the meaning intended. Whoozy light-headed blah, doldrums, out of sorts, not so good. Funk like the music vibe, really really good sometimes. Recently for me, I was feeling the former; weird, odd, funky. Fuzzy whoozy brain. Bumpish night with the kids. LSleepy. Fortunately a little …
Everything Its Place
My house is a sort of clutter fest on low simmer. There are paper piles in most every room. Not overly obtrusive, they sit quietly on sides, corners. Clothes are similar, if fewer in number. A small stack folded, or a rumpled pile on the floor after a quick change. Living with three kids adds …
Are We Done?
Well, as for me, I don’t think so. I don’t think we are done with COVID. Or actually better said, COVID isn’t done with us. More than a million people have died of COVID in the US alone… Variants still active and cases fluctuating up and down, So when I think it’s appropriate, I’m in …
Longing
When I’m with them, sometimes they’re too much, their combined energy so powerful, immediate, demanding… And when they are gone I long for them back, I long for more, My own version of synchronicity (as Sting wrote and The Police sang), At our best we ponder and revel, and soak up the moments, soak up …
