Today was destined to be a “downer” blog day.  Everything is hunky-dory with me, but all around me there is turmoil, uncertainty, disappointment and death.  My wife’s job security – whether she wants to admit it or not – is tenuous.  All around her people are being forced into retirement.  Co-workers and associates are changing [...]

Last night was the Iron & Wine show at WorkPlay.  Even nursing a head cold, Sam Beam was amazing.  Beam, his sister Sarah, and his backing band made for an evening of lovely music.  Charmingly soft-spoken and self-effacing, his on-stage persona complimented his light, airy yet moody tunes.  Old songs were given new, full-band arrangements [...]

Early this morning – around 3:30 a.m. – I used my bedside dream notebook for the first time.  The results were surprising.  I figured that, with just a few written hints, I would be able to recall most of a dream I would have otherwise lost somewhere between waking up and hitting the shower.  As [...]

It has been an interestingly uninteresting week.  My wife is off brainwashing the future unemployed bank tellers of Arizona, and you would think I would be using this “alone time” to engage in some activities I do not normally get to do.  Living like a bachelor.  Eating fast food hamburgers and fries, frozen pizzas and [...]

Several nights ago I had a particularly interesting dream.  This will, alas, be a brief retelling since I have waited so long to write about it and have thus lost many of the details that were once fresh in my mind.  (I have taken measures to prevent the memory loss from happening again by placing [...]

Now it is time to throw the two-year mediocrity monkey off our backs once and for all.  For the past two years we have wallowed in the “rebuilding” doldrums, and the jewel in that crown was the L next to Miss. St. on our schedule.  It is going to feel very good to dig ourselves [...]

As it turns out, there are not that many thoughts to dump today – which I consider a good thing.  The purpose of penning a weekly smattering of half-formed ideas was to give a forum to those subjects I had not had time to flesh out as stand-alone blog posts.  So not feeling like I [...]

In the absence of anything remarkable to say, here’s a random thought.  I have come home every afternoon this week and washed dishes and tidied up the house.  Today was a fantastic day at work – not because I got to do something exciting, but because I got to go out to a school and [...]
