The snow ball effect
Have you ever seen the cartoon of the little snow ball rolling down the hill and picking up not only speed but, a lot more snow along the way? It grows and grows and speeds along until it is huge and smashes into someone unsuspecting at the bottom of the hill. I like this as…

Only when I laugh!
I am not so sure about the title of this post. I was going to elaborate but once I started realizing how uninteresting and sneaking up on stupid it was sounding. The short version of it is this – not many people have the comic timing, intuition to pull off the “Only when I laugh”…

The set from hell!
OK – I have been missing for a while. Well, not missing, I know where I have been. And, I have been there A LOT! Way too much in fact. As in – I’ve been just about living in that freakin’ theater for two weeks! Here’s the thing – if you know you have a…

The begining of the end
Some time ago I had the privilege of working for one of the premier connecting rod manufactures in the world. I was not smart enough at the time to realize the potential or gift of being there. Like I do so many (if not everything) I fucked it up. I did learn somethings though. (Besides…

Be Here -and- Be There?
Plan ahead! Prepare for the future! Know where you are going! Be in the moment! Be present! Do not project! Hmm. Which is it? Live for the moment or do things that will make the future better? Sure, I might get hit by a bus or speeding piece of space junk. Maybe I will choke…

Hope vs Expectation
Obviously there is a difference between hoping for something and expecting it. The hope that this will happen, that someone shows up, that that is real. Hope is what you have when something is possible yet, not actually certain. Hope has room for you to sigh and say, “Damn, that would have been great/nice/amazing”! Expecting…

You created it!
So, you are an open-minded person. You believe in free speech, social justice, equality and all such things. You are an activist. You are an example to your children too. You have taught them through words and by example that they should not tolerate being stereo-typed, forced to conform to social norms. Never be pigeon…

Big Spoon, Little Spoon
There is more to ‘sleeping together’ than sex. There is the literal ‘sleeping’ part. Although is seems rather obvious up front, the fact is, getting sleep with someone else in the same bed is not as easy as it sounds. To really ‘sleep’ with someone is a learned habit. It takes as much practice to…

Re-arranging
There is something deeply satisfying to me when I take a space and re-arrange everything in it. Even something at basic as flipping the direction of the place – everything to the opposite side. Ready, set, GO! I often think about movies with the mean drill Sargent making his recruits move a pile of rocks…
