Low & Slow
Everything slows down at the coast, Conversation, expectation, heart rate, The lull of the ocean, white noise, white ripple, brown, blue, gray, Everything slows, the cold wind blows through, slow shift in the chair, sitting low on the deck, Mind, thoughts slow, ponder troubles and joys and the sun, low too in the southern sky, …
Good Peeps
There are many people we meet throughout our life. Some we’ll be friendly with. A few will become good friends. Life-long even, if we’re lucky. And there are those folks we see seldom, they live too far away, or are living busy lives like many (all?) of us are. Consumed by the day-to-day, week-to-week responsibilities …
1st Tim, 6: Fight The Good Fight

Thoughtful Nutrition
Sardines. A top power food (think Omega 3's, etc.) for those looking for good protein that is inexpensive, plentiful, and sustainable. Do a quick web search on "How healthy are sardines?", and you'll get several, similar lists explaining why sardines are good for you in pretty short order. Fishy, of course, so you have to …
Song of the Week

It seemed like a lot. But then I also came to realize reading made me fall asleep. My folks read at night. Sometimes …
Let’s RUSH
I've had a forty-year love affair with the Canadian progressive (?) rock band, RUSH. They were one of the first bands I sort of "discovered" on my own through the radio. RUSH was also the first band for which I looked "back" to earlier albums, when I had caught up on what they had released …
Tostilocos, Doritolocos, Goodness
Tostilocos, Doritolocos, ahhhhhhh, what? Culinary Goodness from the ground level, from the street, from the everyday. Found this basic content via NPR and a series they produced a few years back: Borderland. It's still available in their archives, and narrates various aspects of the busy southern border between Mexico and the United States. As part …
Guest Post: “Be the Light” — YES!
I met Camille and her husband too last year when one of their son's played on the soccer team my wife was coaching (and two of our kids played on, too). Since then we've stayed in touch via social media, and we cross paths around town from time to time too. With that as backdrop, …
