“Lonely is the night, when you find yourself alone, Your demons’ come to light, and your mind is is not your own…” These are not just great lyrics from Billy Squire, but a sentiment that often rings true for me, especially these last couple of years. These last couple years I find myself waking up …

Simple Tools
Really grateful for simple tools that make our lives easier and empower us to accomplish many things in easier fashion. The list is endless, really. For this piece, I offer a mechanical from the world of warehouse, stock, and moving said parts around said warehouse. Consider then the wheel and simple hydraulic machinery. Put these …
Lists Redux
I’ve written before about lists, scribbling down more words, likely same thoughts, so helpful sometimes, lists. Scribble down more words to share as I scribble down more words on a list, endless words, endless things to do. Lists like a safety valve, pressure valve, always more always more, scribble down the words that are tied …
So Long August…
Waved goodbye to August yesterday, another month in the bag. 2022 seems to accelerating in the second half of the year. My work buddy / colleague, SAL — in addition to being a veteran Supply Chain Guy — is a commercial fisherman. He sent a couple pics yesterday eve from just off the California Coast, …
Priorities
We all have them. How to sort, categorize? Professional? For sure. How we make living, how we pay the bills, But family too, gotta say, gotta say, family is first…it’s a hard pull sometimes, but that’s my take.

Pace
Pick it up, Slow down, Live by it, Die by it? Don’t let it kill you, Learn to master it, When to allow yourself to be swept up, When to let hurry by when too quick, It’s up to you, Pace.
Week-end Struggle
Weird to think, struggle on the weekend, Fun and games and care-free ways give way to toil and trouble, bubble bubble, As Sunday night settles in, angst and worry, aches and pains, imagined, real, pour in through the cracks and splits, Lava creeping, melting, molding all to worry, can’t control, overwhelmed, just what we don’t …
Early Morning Overdrive
Early morning workdays, they seem to start like this most days. Overdrive. Zero to sixty in no time. My mind goes from dreamy rest to racing thoughts, flashing across my mind’s eye. List accelerating, things, tasks to-do’s adding to the bottom and the list gets long in a hurry. Quickly spiraling, my heart beat quickens, …
