    OK, I’m sitting around scratching my head and my ass trying to figure it all out. Where am I? Where am I going? What am I doing to get there from here and how shall I mark the trail back, just in case? More than an a little disillusioned / concerned / confused / apathetic…

    OK, I know there should be, must be something I want to say. Some deep thang I have discovered about myself, life, God. A new delicacy easy to manage in my kitchen. A success on stage or goal met in school. Maybe just a good day. To use an over used expression, I got nothing.…

    No, no one has died. Not any one I know. Maybe in your life, I’m sorry if so. Be strong. Something has died, come to an end, will cease to exist. A place, a group, a refuge, a school and an overall wonderful place. The time has come to say goodbye to The Orange Curtain…

    Yesterday in church, the message included a question. (OK, it always does but this one I want to write about) Well, lemme go back a bit. We are in the Lenten season, forty days before Easter. (Just removed my description of what it means, Google is your friend here) Tod will be teaching on/about discipleship…

    This is one of those catch phrases so often bandied about it makes me cringe. Most likely come up with by some marketing guys who’s entire existence and effort at life is to squeeze stuff into very limiting and strictly defined boxes! Go figure. (another cliche to leave me guessing) There are some great times…

    Well, I forgot about this. 8 months today. On the calender system.  Funny, today I have to go to court against  my old sponsor. Well, not funny at all. Might I suggest never mixing your AA program and employment? Sponsor-less, stuck in the middle of my fourth step and really thinking I need to go…

    The problem is this, one of the two people in a relationship is always more invested than the other. (I took that terminology from an acquaintance of mine. I would have said ‘one cares more than the other’ but invested sounds more modern, educated and quite frankly, cold as hell.) There seems to be some…

     Isn’t  “spy satellite threatening” redundant? Just because this one is dead, coming fast for oh, somewhere on the globe full of potentially hazardous fuels and and other unknowns, is that the only thing that makes it a threat? Wasn’t this thing a threat, maybe even more of a threat when it was operational? What kind…

    Wow. What an amazing two months. A roller-coaster of emotions, physical experience, mental highs-n-lows.  We closed strong. Good audience, good energy, great time together. Thank you Sherryl, I cannot say that enough. Thank you.  Marla, as always, a clinic, a fantastic learning opportunity. “Johnny” – thanks and goodbye! If you missed it, dang it! You…

    Pride is a bad thing right? Deadly sin an all that. Makes a person unattractive and generally hard to be around. Clouds the perspective of the prideful person as well. So then… …what do you do when someone tells you how well/good/nice you have done something and end this little bit of praise with, “You…
