So many little things filled the day, many little steps, along the way. Planned on a little work, set aside for life, after life, after in stride, fit in the work, later. And so it was, Pancakes, A walk with kids and dogs, Laundry times three, A little football, Kids playing in the front until …

What’s Fair?
I listen to my kids talk about what’s fair, what they want, what they prefer. I hear my friends talk about much the same, what’s fair? The problems they have at work, in their marriage, and so on, why isn’t it fair? Funny thing about fair... at our best I think we strive for fairness, …
Lyrics Post: “Granny” Dave Matthews Band
Have loved this song since I first heard it. Still love it 30 years later. So much love, such a clear path...I believe it’s LOVE... “Hello, how are you doing today? Hope I find you feeling healthy I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today On our way into the night I say it's …
Seeking Tender Moments
I find that I really like and appreciate and will prioritize tender moments. Example? As I write this piece I’m lying in bed while my son sleeps next to me. He came in a few hours ago, upset by a dream. I listen to him sleep, and I feel really, really lucky. Blessed to have …

Our buddy Mark said it for all of us: “To my fav peeps... Thank you for your friendship... Thank you Santa Clara [University]...” That last reference, to the college where we all met and somehow were blessed with a life-time bond. I sent out a text asking about Christmas menus, to these men I’ve been …
Dropped to the Ground
At the store, recent afternoon, saw a guy drop his disposable orange mask on the ground as he walked to his car. He was with his daughter. Humf. At least he had a mask, I suppose. We’d be a lot better off if folks didn’t take that approach. In public health, in personal responsibility, in …
How Do You Feel?
Dawning reality as the year winds down, maybe I’m not as in touch with myself as I think I am. Harsh awakening. Sorta. Not really harsh maybe, but a personal wake-up call for sure. A therapist I saw earlier this year, he observed I talk about my feelings, but maybe I don’t feel them so …
