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 …
The View From 35000 ft…
Well, not literally... I didn't get my normal window seat, but at least I am not scrunched in-between a couple of people and all their stuff. 767's are good for that. I've been thinking about the recent events, and love the preponderance of blogs, comments, posts, etc. about the action against bin Laden... to a …
Riding Horses…
Earlier this week,  I visited some friends who have a ranch in Nevada. Being a city/suburban kid, the only time I got close to farm animals was on school field trips. There were some ranches around the area I lived growing up, but all I would do is run by them and see the animals …
A Whole Lot O’ Nothin…
 I called my dad on my way home from work today. I decided that my life wasn't complicated enough, that I would use my only sanctuary (my car) to, not relax and de-stress from the craziness of the day - no, I was going to use that time to catch up on all of …
