Life, Work and Play
There are stories I tell myself. They keep me inspired, they make me laugh. This one has been entertaining. I've learned lots, seen the sights, walked the streets late at night...Yet, I am unsettled. I've made up my mind. I have so much I want to say. First of all, I don't want to make a... Continue Reading →
I've got to keep adding miles to this road and moderate the amount and intensity with which my buttons get pushed. Occasionally I find myself face to face with another in a metaphorical shouting match each of us yelling incredulously "WTF did you do that for?" and communication descends into noise, and nobody wins.

From April 5th: I should go make dinner. But first...Today was a good day. I am terribly excited for the weekend, having many good things planned. I'm finally warm and mostly dry. I'd really love to grab a few boxes, a frame and a coat rack. Things are coming together. Personality tests are intriguing. Soundtracks, scores... Continue Reading →
