More Props
I just heard a piece on the radio about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the diversity of their coaching leadership. It’s expanded my appreciation for the team and my attitude about that team, Tom Brady joining the team, and their victory in Super Bowl LV. Listening to Rod Graves, executive Director of the Fred’s Pollard …
On Bended Knee
I’m on bended knee, looking at the weekend… Two days like any other, yet expectations so high… Hoping for a break, a little rest, a different pace… Somewhat so, somewhat so, some otherwise more the same, by choice really… Same pressures, same pause, same joy, all really there, if only we make room…in our minds, …
Navalny
Democracy is for all humanity, at least it should be, in my humble opinion. One country in which democracy has long struggled is Russia. One voice that resonates from within? Alexei Anatoliovich Navalny. He has become maybe the most powerful voice calling for an end to corruption and more transparency in the Russian political system, …
Another Voice for Change
After MLK Jr. Day, after all the many situations and examples and tragedies that have been freshly brought to light of late around racial inequality, and the many things we need to do to change things for the better... I came across these two posts from one of my more favorite voices on social media. …
How Far? MLK Jr.

Fundamental to most faiths, the worship therein, we’re meant to come together, have a sense of the come together, can’t be together in-person just now. Screens and social …
Inspiration Everywhere: An Occasional Series
One of the main purposes of this blog is to further positive feelings, vibes, attitudes. Through snippets, tales, stories, recaps, I look to show and share the good, even in situations that sometimes don’t seem so positive on the face of it. When I was a kid I used to read the weekly magazine, Sports …

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, …
Flex
When I was a kid, adolescent really, I lifted weights. I was an athlete, among other things, and understood I needed to be stronger to better compete. And so in that adolescent athlete world, we’d talk about “flexing” your muscles. But that’s not what this post is about. It’s about being flexible; and I don’t …
