    StreetLights On A SaturdayNight: Entropy And The Pursuit Of Happiness

    Entropy and the Pursuit of Happiness 1230pm. March 18, 2019 Under the clouds it looks like 830pm. Gray. Storm’s rollin’ in. Behind the wheel again. Feels good. Haven’t driven since before the stent went in. Just a short trip. Just down the road. It’s nice to be on the move again. I can’t recall precisely…

    A Horse With No Name

    A Horse With No Name. On the first part of the journey… We have been sheltering in place, with a few store runs here and there, since March 18th. Like many of you, I was anxious. How would we pay the bills? What will happen with the kids and school? Just how bad will it…

    Slightly updated this memory from 2018 for relevance to our current conditions. April 13, 2020 The pandemic which has changed our world is not nearly done. As we brace for what is next, many of us do so alone. Depression must also be a condition/symptom/consequence of Covid-19. For my own experience, driving Uber and Lyft,…

    StreetLights On A Saturday Night: Love In The Time Of Covid-19

    Love in the time of Covid-19 We have all become familiar with some new terms like shelter-in-place and social distancing. More than that, we are all adjusting to a very different world. There have been moments that feel as if each of us are on our own little space station floating around the earth. My…

    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…

    Streetlights on a Saturday night

    Again, we need more kindness and love. Too much hate. The pressure becomes to great. And then, it is just too late. The darkest place in the universe is deep inside one’s own troubled soul. For all my bipolar and depressive brothers and sisters. Written in October 2018 with love for those we lost. I…

    But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for…

    Even with a profound sense of purpose, I wonder, I ache, I question. Even with this incredible sense of joy and peace, I hurt, I cry. Even with God’s steady hand, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. But I now know, that is an eternal search. And, that is how it is supposed…

    #TBT January 16, 2020

    #TBT January 16, 2020 It’s floodin’ down in Texas. I wish I could send this water to Australia. Truly, I do. As I headed down to the Mitsubishi dealership bright and early this morning (Still trying to make sure everything is roadworthy as I resume my driving today), Bob Dylan popped up in my Spotify…

    Crossroads 3 of 3 for NYE 2020

    This 3rd and last installment for the last day of 2019 is all about the music. Well, it’s mostly about the music. The music is all about the theme. WE ARE ALL CONNECTED! I may have mentioned that one or two times before. It is this message I think we need to focus on the…
