I believe that we, as individuals, are mostly responsible for determining if we have a good day or a bad day. How we choose to face the day and how we choose to react to what the day throws at us makes up ninety percent of deciding good day or bad day. There are certain… Continue reading October 12, 2013

Like most people, I’ve always been a big believer in the motto “Actions speak louder than words.” I think the reason that this is basically accepted as a truth is because it speaks to conscious vs. subconscious nature of behavior. Maybe an even better comparison is to the two classifications of muscles: voluntary vs. involuntary.… Continue reading October 2, 2013

I wish I was a less shallow person. I don’t think that shallow might be the best word to describe what I’m talking about exactly, but the lazy writer in me says that, as a writer, I can re-purpose a word that I think might be close enough to what I’m going for. The trying-to-be-more-engaged… Continue reading September 18, 2013

I was reading an article last week that someone or ones, a group of scientists I’m sure, came up with a clock that is 100 times more accurate than the previous most accurate clock. This got me thinking about time (which got me thinking about this song for today’s soundtrack) Time, or more accurately the… Continue reading Saturday, August 31, 2013

For a while now, I’ve been convinced that my right ear is deformed. Wait. I forgot I wanted to have a soundtrack. It just so happened to be the last song I heard on my walk this morning, so it doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but it doesn’t help that I have a weak thing for… Continue reading Saturday, August 24th, 2013
two halves could be a whole
I’m not much of a computer guy. Most any of you who know me, or even spend more than ten minutes talking to me, know that. especially those who spend ten minutes on the phone with me. Because by then the string between the two tins cans we are sharing has sagged enough to make… Continue reading two halves could be a whole
Excuse me waiter. Could I have another of those Singapore Slings?
Twenty years ago today I first landed in Key West. Here’s the story: On March 12th and 13th of 1993, a blizzard shut down the entire East coast. Every major airport was closed, two hundred and seventy people died, and record snowfalls were recorded in almost every town, including a total of seventeen inches falling… Continue reading Excuse me waiter.

It was the year that was
It was exactly a year ago today that my life changed in a pretty big way. I know that for a fact, not because I’ve suddenly become good at remembering dates, but because I can look over to where Stacie hung that big fake check I got and the date on it is “October 18,… Continue reading It was the year that was
The skin and the bones
Like most people, I harbor a fantasy about winning the lottery. Unlike most people, I find myself daydreaming about elaborate scenarios of just what I would do not only if I won but how it would be different depending on how much I won. Let’s face it, a $1o million fantasy is probably a lot… Continue reading The skin and the bones
Don’t let the messenger shoot you
I spend a lot of time on Facebook, sometimes so much so that I would classify it as “too much”. I could try to explain it away as simply trying to stay in touch with the cultural zeitgeist (man, I love that word. So happy I got to use it. It’s part of my holy… Continue reading Don’t let the messenger shoot you
