When running for President, Bill Clinton’s campaign team created a mantra for him to focus on. (I know his name has always been a little poisonous, and now somewhat more than ever, but believe me, this isn’t about him.) Although it would become public knowledge, “It’s the economy, stupid” doesn’t rank up there with other… Continue reading March 12, 2026

It snowed yesterday. They were calling for a foot or so, although it looks like we only got a few inches here. There’s a consensus at work about “too little, too late,” and can’t we just get to spring? But it was a peaceful view out the window yesterday, watching it fall. The living room… Continue reading March 6, 2026

A regular occurrence at work will be members coming in with their guests coming in, walking directly past the bar, and going out on the terrace to show off the view. It happens so often that I am sometimes thrown off when it doesn’t, and they walk up to the bar instead. A couple of… Continue reading February 26, 2026

I waste a lot of time on Reddit. I’m sure, like most websites, that’s what Reddit is there for. I wouldn’t be surprised if the original designers had a more altruistic view of what kind of question-answering service they would be providing, but while it may still do that about 0.2% of the time, the… Continue reading February 19, 2026
Mile High in Montana
Hi kiddos. It’s been a while. My last blog was at the end of December, 2023. Not really sure what sparked the hiatus then. I will admit that what took me a while to get back here was forgetting how to log back in. But, if you know me, and I assuming you do if… Continue reading Mile High in Montana

Rain doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it used to. As a kid, I had a love/hate relationship with it. I loved it when I had nothing to do and could go out and play in it (or stay inside and ignore it.) But I hated, Hated, HATED if it was raining when I… Continue reading December 28, 2023

Success is something that is easy to define but hard to pin down. The easy part is recognizing it means being ahead of a previous position. The hard part is determining what the better position really means. If I take a test once and get a certain grade on it, then retake that same test… Continue reading December 21, 2023

I want to talk a bit about Ego. Ego is a powerful tool and an equally powerful weapon. It’s like a magic wand handed to us without an instruction booklet. Some people learn how to wield it just right, using enough to propel them forward positively, enhancing their growth. But many others founder on one… Continue reading December 14, 2023

There’s an interesting side-effect to being smart enough to recognize my struggles with mental illness and dumb enough to think I can solve/fix/heal/treat them on my own. I spend a lot of time traveling down various rabbit holes of theory and treatment options, each of them looking like they might have some promise. Ironically, what… Continue reading July 17, 2023

Last week, I wrote about my upcoming trip to see Dead & Company, and if I could feel like a kid again, like I had some 30-odd years ago. Results are in, polls are closed, and the surveys all say yes. What’s most interesting, for me at least, is the singular place their music holds… Continue reading June 1, 2023
