StreetLights On A Saturday Night
The Wisdom Of Downton Abbey Well, here we are, 2020. Look how far we’ve come in the last 100 years! Actually… maybe you are better off not looking. A few months ago, just before I took off for my neck surgery, I gave Andrew and Jennifer a ride home from the airport. They live in…

StreetLights On A Saturday Night
Lost in the woods I took a walk today. The sun was out. Blue sky, pillowy clouds and blossoms on the trees. I love trees. I always find them calming and restorative, like natural anti-anxiety medicine. It was during this walk I found the right perspective again. I have been angry this week. I have…

Crossroads part 2 of 3
As I reviewed the stories from 2019, the one that stood out the most for me, and certainly the most amazing person I met this year while driving Uber/Lyft, is Holly from Green Mountain. Holly inspired with her story and reminded me how important it is to be present, not regret, be appreciative of life.…

crossroads part 1 of 3
2019 is hours away from it’s end. For a great many, that is a welcome event. We look to renew our hopes of a better year. We look to find our footing and balance, pick ourselves up, and dust off the dirt. With another year behind us, we start to wonder if the trail we…

Streetlights on a Saturday night: Entropy and the Pursuit of Happiness
This post was originally written in May of 2019. 14 more hospital stays over the last 5 years along with a body and mind that continues to unravel, and here I am. But don’t see me as struggling to walk. See me as up out of bed and fighting to get my life back. It…
