It’s a funny thing, my attitude into the day, the week, When I first wake, it often comes crashing down…the list is long, things rush into my mind, My kids, my divorce, a few nagging work issues, the state of my community, the state, the country, the many conflict areas of the world, No shit, …

Blog Like A Tweet: “Even a thousand mile journey…”
Even a thousand mile journey begins with a single step. And even a list of a thousand to-do tasks can only be accomplished one at a time. Remind yourself every hour, every day, that this is the case.
What I Do
This blog, and writing in general, it’s what I do. I mean, I’ve got a day job too, working stiff, what I’d call “business operations” just now, it’s a good gig, fine folks, lots of upside, lots of learning, a higher purpose, I drank the Kool-Aid for sure…”the promise of better health, diseases cured, through …
How It Goes

Then one, then two stops in SF, Two parks, both fun, great spots …
Easy Start
She relishes the easy start to the day. No immediate obligation, no immediate demands. Dim light of early morning sifts through the drapes, soft crackle of the heater, heavy covers spilled over her. Cozy. If a kid come in, it will be a morning cuddle, secretly she hopes one does. Even two are welcome, just …

Feed The People: Part Three
It’s all been gathered. It’s all been done. About 30 volunteers. About 300 miles in loops shuttling food to sort center and cold storage. Now it’s time to execute. Now it’s time to feed the people. Turkeys reign supreme in the freezer truck Ready for final load Left over, won’t go to waste Two of …

Lyrics Post: “Ceiling Unlimited”
This song, another sneaky sleeper, I think of it…from “Vapor Trails”, the 2002 by RUSH.
