This Monday is a federal holiday in the US, Labor Day. Labor Day weekend typically marks the end of the summer season, with many schools starting classes just as the weather also starts to show signs that autumn will soon be upon us. As much as I would love to go into the history and …

Resolution. And Incrementalism
I know in my previous post, I teased a preview of this post and, well, let's just say this is not the post you've been awaiting. After a day or two, it seems cooler heads have prevailed and the conflict I referred to has been resolved to my satisfaction. Posting anything further on my part …
Quitting
I don't like to walk away from things. My natural inclination is to stick with something (a project, an employer, a social group) until I am absolutely forced to shift away. I am loyal to a fault; once you have my attention, you will find it hard to get rid of me. And I will …
Rest in Power
Those who know me well might describe me as a huge NBA basketball nerd. Ever since we moved to a town large enough to get cable TV, I started watching the sport and fell in love. The team dynamics, the ball movement, the pace of the game, the story arc of the season(s), the player …
Less Thinking, More Writing
My writing practice has gone a bit off the rails lately. My periods of inspiration have not been in alignment with my schedule in a way that has allowed me to put pen to paper, so to speak, for at least the last month. This has caused me to be simultaneously pent up with ideas …
A Day, Derailed
I am not a morning person. If one knows anything about me, they probably know that I am more likely to be awake in the 2am hour than I am in the 5am, or even 6am hour, on any given day. Much of my writing and other creative brain work happens between 10pm and 2am. …
What’s in my Refrigerator
I'm not gonna lie, I have a reasonably full refrigerator. I know people out there are struggling,, and no part of this story is intended to be boastful in any way. We all are where we are. I believe I have mentioned before, I'm a TEENY-TINY bit of a hoarder. I'm generally disinclined to finish …
Depp-Heard – Part 2
Time and the news move fast these days and it seems this particular moment has flown by. Nobody is talking about this anymore, though it was ALL anyone was talking about less than a week ago. Though I try to be timely in my topics here, I am publishing this anyway because the message is …
Depp-Heard – Part 1
I did not watch one second of the spectacle that was the court proceeding apparently televised between these two famous people who have gotten divorced. I also, for the most part, did not really follow it on social media. So everything I have to say about this event is based on the knowledge and understanding …
Is Death a Relief?
WARNING: in case the title of this post wasn't telling enough, I am going to be writing about death and dying in this post. If you aren't in a place to engage with this topic right now, I will not feel bad at all if you table it for another time, or just skip it …
