The linkage between sleep and brain disease (think Alzheimer's and other degenerative conditions). Growing evidence. Your body has processes established to help your brain stay health.

The Elder, My Daughter / Partner
A fresh idea came to mind recently; I think it might have some momentum. Elevate her, it helps us both. Listening. Enjoying. Engaging. In this new family model, we sure benefit from better cooperation and teamwork. Easier all around with everyone aligned. Giving it a try, anyway. It’s a new approach, expanded mindset on my …
Toward SoulTime: Quick Week Underway
Blessed to have another long weekend up ahead, taking a couple days off work to make it a long weekend on the coast. Annual trip, maybe close to 30 years running, more or less. Same group of five guys, “The Mexicans” (my nickname). Early on in the tradition we went over the border to Mexico …
Redux: No Fear

Lyrics Post: “The Pass”
These words stand alone, And says it all, and forever… "The Pass" Proud swagger out of the school yardWaiting for the world's applauseRebel without a conscienceMartyr without a cause Static on your frequencyElectrical storm in your veinsRaging at unreachable gloryStraining at invisible chains And now you're trembling on a rocky ledgeStaring down into a heartless …

Why so slow, touch and go, tick along, one thing at a time, Easy, then not, happy then not, weird mood, struggle, the pot, Call the kettle black, awhile, another trial, fun to the brim, bubble over, Try again, Tomorrow.
