Repurposing With Purpose
My constant little companion, Jeter, had one particular bed he used to nap on in my living room. It sat in the front of the room and directly below the TV. He would often hide snacks he was saving for later in its seams and corners. Blue would always wait for Jeter to hide the […]
Super Bowl Sunday
Congrats to the KC Chiefs. From all reports, it was an incredible game. Winning in OT is always exciting. Winning a Super Bowl in OT is a little bit of heaven. It seems Patrick Mahomes deserved his MVP. My condolences to Christian McCaffrey, although it appears he covered 160 yards with a TD. You made […]
Up Where The Air Is Clear . . . Field Of Dreams
My wife is thankfully working another per diem shift, which delayed me sitting down before my computer to blog this morning. But I’m free to write now. Always the gentleman, since Lisa was being selfless, and it was early and dark, I made Lisa tea and offered to drive her to work. And after I […]
Yep, More Snow
That is what I awoke to this morning. A little later and a little more tired than usual. Last night, Blue and I went up to bed at the late hour of 8pm. We left Lisa watching the news. But I was more tired than usual having had to hump 6 bales of hay on […]
New Moon On A February Friday
The February New Moon (in Aquarius) began its three day cycle last night. Tonight will be its apex. New Moons are a time to set the foundation for intentions and manifestations. They provide wind in your creative sails. A great time to launch new projects. I think back to how anxious I was when this […]
A Seinfeld Day
Yesterday was one of those strange days. Everything I needed to have happen, to make everything I needed to work out perfectly, happened. Like I was Jerry Seinfeld. It started with Lisa asking me at around noon, when I joined her retired self for a coffee, if I heard anything from Veronica Redmyer. I told […]
Tuesday Afternoon & Moody Blues
Anyone who knows me well knows how much I loved The Moody Blues during my formative years. Still do. Indeed, Nights In White Satin plays a crucial part in Finding Jimmy Moran. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=Nights+in+White+Satin&mid=2294D5AF8053368D0AC92294D5AF8053368D0AC9&FORM=VIRE To this day, I defy any man who has lived well to suggest a better song for any teen to slow dance […]
Congrats Joe & Donna Serrano
Joe & Donna became grandparents on late Monday/early Tuesday when their lovely daughter, Nicole, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. It was a long labor but the baby is fine and Nicole and her wife, Brianne Stokes, are thrilled. On behalf of the Old Fuckers Club, congrats Nicole and Brianne and baby, and Joe […]
Sun and Fog
Yesterday’s weather started out nice enough. When I say nice enough, I mean that despite it snowing most of Saturday, the sky was azure (blue being one of the primary colors I can see clearly), one of God’s fingernails dotted the sky, and there was plenty of sun to give the fallen snow at Casa […]
RIP Joshua Redmyer – A Fine Young Man
Last year, just over a year ago, I had just received my author copies of Finding Jimmy Moran. I had arranged with my dear friend Kyle Dooley, whose named character plays a bartender in the Hell’s Kitchen chapter in the book, to be available at Mike O’Shay’s for a photo shoot. That photo was used […]
