Week off with the kids, vacation time, stripped down, shifting mindset and schedule to them, focused on them, us. This particular post a good example. Three in the morning, awake, listening to the sounds of the night, listening to the kids sleep. What’s the big deal? Not so big maybe; maybe just different. In a …

And Again, Follow The Muse
Recent piece on living a creative life; even if it’s not your profession, per se’, so important to find it and do it. Example? An old school friend, actually through my brother. A tech professional by job, an artist by vocation, creative in both endeavors, I suppose. He draws, doodles, paints, scribbles, whatever inspires him, …
Well, Being
Well, I find myself being, again in this space, this place, dull aches, a few pains, run-down, somewhat displaced. Dull in the head, shoulders heavy, thick. Slowed by the world around somehow, usually buoyed. Reduce to min, simmer on low, covered, dozing, deep. Thick in the brain, pause the constant activities and responsibilities and the …
Real Talk, Who Wouldn’t Want To Live In The Bay…
Costs a lot to live here, has changed a lot in the last fifty years, but I still love the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s home.

Snippets of GOOD
From an old friend, this quote, recently shared. I think it stands pretty well on its own. Enjoy. I did. Do. "As long as we observe love for others and respect for their rights and dignity in our daily lives, then whether we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in the Buddha or God, …
A Child’s Wisdom
“This is peaceful” - Levi, my son, as we walked the woods recently with his sisters. Wind in the trees, sound like rushing water. So close to the metropolis of a million people, yet a world away too. Well-worn dirt paths, trails much traveled, loved. These places, those I want to insure my children know, …
Lyrics Post: “Can’t Stop The Feeling”
This song speaks for itself. Yes. Yes it does. I got this feeling inside my bones It goes electric, wavey when I turn it on All through my city, all through my home We're flying up, no ceiling, when we in our zone I got that sunshine in my pocket Got that good song in …
BBQ Respite
Doesn’t take much to find a little respite. Old BBQ fired up, coals burning hot, does the trick. Chicken Thighs and Broccoli on the grill tonight. Day on the wane, weekend eve, late start to dinner, no problem at all. Evening breeze, kids in the yard, sun sinking low, all good. Thankful for the weekend. …
