    I don’t know if I can make it. When I started this project on the 1st of this year I expected it to be easy. After all I can talk your ear off if we are having a conversation, seriously it takes considerable will power to shut the hell up. I have learned to get…

    Someone asked me about my process for writing this blog. That made me laugh, yeah I have a process, mostly it is procrastination. Don’t get me wrong sometimes I wake up and there is an idea or topic right there in the front of my brain just waiting to be pondered for a bit and…

    This is day 266 of this blog. Way back on January 1st when I started this it seemed like a good idea, a blog post a day for a year. How tough could it be? Damn tough, and here we are with 100 days left until 2017. I am new to blogging. I have watched…

    What inspires you to blog? Now that is a damn fine question. When that was posed to me on twitter, I didn’t think to ask if they meant “Why do you blog at all?” Or if they meant “What inspires you each day?” So in my usual way, I will attempt to answer both implied…

    The blank pages beckon, pull me into their endless embrace, they long to be filled as I long to fill them but the moment I put fingers to keys the word fly as startled starlings whisked away in a swirl as if some hidden secret breeze has caught them up. Pulling away from me, just…

    A phrase you hear a lot when you move in the circles that we do is “In my real life” Whenever anyone says it everyone nods their head because they know that they have to lead two lives. What gets me is that one is referred to as the real one. I get why. If…

    A warning to the world et al., if I know you, have heard of you, or read something about you I am going to have opinions. I might even (this is fairly unlikely) write about you. Even if you don’t consent. This is the way the world, and life, works. People review restaurants, Doctors, Teachers…
