Been doing LOTS of thinking on labels… it’s been a hard one to work through. To come up with a mini, coherent(ish) blurb that speaks my POV. This is big deal stuff; it’s how we communicate, they are the lens we think through to make our oh-so-important actions in the world. They define our everythingContinue reading “all your biz”

How often are you supposed to sharpen tools?  My non-handy man response is: I don’t know. I can barely use an electric drill and nearly always hurt myself when I have to bust out the hammer.   But here is what I do know about the kinds of tools I use in my adult life: YouContinue reading “houston: my tools are failing”

Sometimes you have to give in.  You can’t always be wanting, salivating, playing it safe… So I went for the gold last night.  I’d been wanting a NYC slice so I ordered this entire pie.  It was pretty dang delicious. Not much I would change about eating it… but…. Did I enjoy the heartburn, massiveContinue reading “temptation”

Not the Wesley Snipes version. Or the reboot with Ryan Gosling. What’s old is new again… time has allowed me to dust off the ol’ blades and do some riverside cruising.  It’s like it’s 1994 all over again and I’m racing through my suburban neighborhood like the future Olympian I knew I could be (noteContinue reading “blade”

Ouch.  This all hurts.  I know. Because we’ve been sitting with it for a some time now.  Sitting with all this intensity… in isolation. Have I mentioned I have no patience?  Last week was anger/confusion and fighting against this frustrating situation. This week was different:  fighting a fire of turmoil in me.  Tears have flowed,Continue reading “intensity”

I hate reminding myself that life is unfair and that this knowledge doesn’t offer me the comfort I want. I hate that I’m trying to use this time productively, but can’t help feeling like a thief; taking the time from the others that are losing theirs. I hate that I feel like shit about everythingContinue reading “escape route”

I made a standing desk and I like it. It get’s the job done(ish). And, like, I still want the one with the electric button you push and it moves from a sitting desk to a standing one that I found online for $3K.

I’m definitely not going to talk about the type I have a love 30%/hate 70% relationship with. That internal dialogue will be saved for later post(s). Which will most likely be soon due to the fact that I’ve checked my fridge 4897 times today to ensure I still have food in there. I digress. I’mContinue reading “mirrors”

The days are bleeding triage-style. The weeks (yes, plural) are gushing into one another and there seems to be no clotting; as of yet. I greeted a friend last week (social distancing method, ie: texting), by saying ‘Happy Tuesday!’ When indeed it was no longer Tuesday, but Wednesday. We are in need of habits, patterns,Continue reading “so are the days of our lives…”

I have time to reflect in isolation these days. I have time to converse with those I like and some that I’m not too terribly fond of, but, hey, why the hell not? I’ve got some extra time on my hands (more on that later). And through all these conversations, I’ve had many a-friend sayContinue reading “isolate, isolating, isolated”
