Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
A few thoughts in my head today: --The Silent Treatment. I get out of my car. I parked in a wooded parking lot. However, I feel like I'm right next to the road. I walk a half mile along the trail. I'm in my thoughts. I'm still making the transition from driving. The trail starts... Continue Reading →
I ran this story in October 2016. My son was 12 years old and complaining about life's demands. It's interesting to look back on our conversation. He's a senior in college now. I doubt he'd want to go back in time. Funny though. I'd go back in a heartbeat -- just to see him at... Continue Reading →
I opened a drawer in my desk the other day and it got stuck. It was jammed. I had been throwing things in it for the past year without much thought. The jam was fate telling me "enough was enough." I needed to start cleaning house. No better time than the present. I pulled out... Continue Reading →

The biker whizzed past me on the trail. I caught up with him about a half mile up trail. He must have had a slow leak in a tire. He stopped at the "Bicycle Fix It Station" and was pumping up his front tire. When the tire was fully inflated, he used an Allen Wrench... Continue Reading →
I'm going to be famous baby! You're going to be seeing me soon on the television news and in the newspapers. I'm hoping for a sit down interview with the networks and the New York Times. Maybe even a guest spot on a late night show. No matter what, I'm definitely counting on the grocery... Continue Reading →
I went for an early morning walk on Monday along a trail near where I live. Four deer pranced in the shadows. A rabbit and squirrel scampered in the dew, foraging for food. Pockets of fog rose up above the river. An idyllic scene. Or so it would seem. But, it suggested to me that... Continue Reading →
The guy in Panera sipped his coffee and went back to typing on his laptop. He looked like he had been there for hours. He had earbuds on and had a stack of folders next to him. Every once in awhile he would look up from his laptop to take a sip from his coffee.... Continue Reading →
