“Ruffled feathers and endless squawking over a minor difficulty is typical of a crow’s life. I lean back on the counter and realize that could be my line….”
“What lays behind the door of tomorrow has been readied by the events of today. But neither will matter if I’m blocking the damn door.” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough I’m not ready to manage all the shenanigans going on in my life. In fact, I may never be ready because I’ve dug myself a hole […]
Below is my response to the prompt: What story from your life would you offer of a time you felt lost and found your way? Thanks On Being, for the wonderful prompt and the opportunity to share. There is a time to take our lives in hand, but there is also a time to take […]
You might be surprised. Do you remember the feeling of absurd joy over securing a piece of Bazooka bubble gum when you were a kid? I think one piece cost a few pennies back in the day. Yes, the same day I walked barefoot to school, in the snow, uphill. It’s a Boomer thing. This […]
Things are topsy turvy around here. When are they not? It’s sort of like trying to pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time. Shit happens, time is a fickle bitch, and I can’t seem to keep my finger on the pulse of life. We can stop our watches, but not time […]
It’s a smidgen past 9:00 am when Larry parades across our bedroom holding up three fingers. Which could only mean one thing. It took him three tries to complete today’s wordle challenge and the only reason he is gloating is that it took me four. Retirement. What’s not to like? I say, “I thought you […]
You might be surprised.

I’m serious. There are actual studies done on what serial killers […]
I love when life slows down enough to match the flow of my fingers on the keyboard, when I can ease into a memory, turn it gently over in my mind, and lance that sucker as if a boil. No one died. That’s all I can say about our 1,400-mile road trip without cussing, lying, […]
And while the white rabbit is scampering about yelling, “Oh my fur and whiskers! I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!” I am late with my blog. I am late in responding to your comments. I am late in reading your posts. Forgive me. It appears things might get worse before they get better. Retirement is […]
Retirement. It is disorienting. This much I will admit. Jesus tried using this same technique with his followers, continually provoking disorientation, in order to widen their narrow views on life. And can we all agree it was a fatal mission? Which makes me think God might be back to Her old tricks. Applying the same […]
