Whenever I go to Reno for business, I always make a point of having breakfast at Peg's Glorified Ham n Eggs. The food is excellent, and if you are a bacon lover like me (sorry, J 🙂 ), it is paradise. What astounds me, however, is not the enormous amount of food that I can never …
The Stuph of Dads…
My weekend was pretty planned out, to the point that I thought I wasn't going to get around to doing a post. I literally had "things to do, places to go, and people to see". Some of my plans fell through, but all in all, it's turning out to be a good weekend. But back …
My Favorite Things…
The last couple weeks, I've been a grump. Not a big grump, but just enough for me to know that I was a grump (I'm sure others noticed it too). When I get like this, I get silent and invisible. Not a good thing when you are trying to have some level of online presence …
Memories and Tough Love
I wanted to do a Memorial Day post... well, I wanted to, and I didn't. This year it is different for me, having a son in the service. Over the past few months since he got back from training, we've had some interesting conversations about military service, deployment, and other such topics. When I came …
Important Stuph…
Yesterday, a friend of mine asked me to go walking. I really didn't want to, cuz I'd have to drive a long way, I'd get there late, blah, blah, blah, but I reluctantly consented. While I was driving there, I suddenly realized something that totally bummed me out... my favorite tv shows were on that …
What I did on the day the world ended…
It's 7:28pm. According to a numerologist, the Rapture and beginning of the great Tribulation should have happened about 90 minutes ago. There was no great earthquake which was supposed to be the big sign, and no reports of the faithful disappearing all over the world. I could use this post to theorize on the whole …
In 36 Hours, the world may change… or not
Ok, I've resisted. I really have. Every blog, twit, news article is covering what promises to be the biggest story, or the biggest farce since OBL (who I resisted writing on too). I'm stuck though... feeling an obligation to respond, but in some respects, also feeling I am wasting my time even writing about it. …

Self Love Part 2… From Me, To Me
Today's challenge for the love project is "Express Yourself". Typically, that is not a problem for me... well, in most circumstances. I've always felt comfortable on the stage, in a pulpit, even in most writing events (once I get past the initial fear 🙂 ). Like many, though, expressing myself to myself has not been my …
Silent Wisdom From the Cali Coast…
Today, I had something on the schedule that I just couldn't get to. Too much other stuff to do. Anyway, I got close, I really did, but in the consideration of it all, I realized it was not gonna happen. I ended up on the coast instead. It was cold and cloudy, not at all …
Self Love: Part 1
So, those of you that have been hanging with me for a while know that I have been joyously participating in J's Love Project. It has been wonderful and challenging, and through it I have learned some great things about showing love. The latest part of the project, however, has me effectively hiding in a …
