Streets. Cities. Communities. Neighborhoods. What is it that we are “doing” this past year? Glen and I have talked about the appropriate term for what we are doing as we spend extended periods of time in different locations. Glen recently posted that in a conversation with Charles, our Uber driver, they agreed that “staying” workedContinue reading “To Dwell, Or Not to Dwell?”

First, and absolutely most important, thank you Allison for the gift (idea) you gave to Joyce and me. Exciting! JDT has suggested it might be a good notion to slow down on my number of posts. She’s almost always right. AND how do I turn off my brain. I’ll compromise. I’ll write AND leave themContinue reading “Chapter 23: “Staying” at the intersection of Dauphine & Gov Nicholls”

Rage. Don’t tell me that the “leaker” should be prosecuted. Don’t tell me, “Trust in the Supreme Court has been weakened by the leak.” Don’t tell me, “The Supreme Court Justice candidates didn’t lie during their hearings.” Bullshit. It’s not about “Christian” values. It’s not about the life of a child. It’s about control andContinue reading “RAGE”

I have spoken of my love of sports. I have spoken of how sports and my brain and my life intersect. I’ve also spoken of my recently found fondness of Liverpool Football Club (LFC). I have also spoken of my current inability to watch Warrior games in full. There is something that occurs in meContinue reading “We Go Again”

It’s been quite a week. I’ve been out for a walk at least once a day. Some days I’m headed somewhere specific, sometimes I’m just going. For example, today I went out 3 times. The first outing was to take Dug for a walk, plus there’s a bakery nearby that keeps promising that they areContinue reading “All the Reasons for an Out and About”

This post is a rant. Yes, it is that. And I hope a bit more. The photo above was taken at the end our breakfast this AM at Who Dat Coffee Cafe. Two specifics about it form the context of this Rant. Notice the sign board “advertising” their help wanted condition. This is a fundamentalContinue reading “Baby Boomers . . . DAMN!”

JDT loves to be spontaneous. I’m best when I have a plan. Last night (I’m always energy best in the morning and it’s just a question of how empty the tank is at the end of the day) JDT was rattling off things still to do as we neared one week left. Friends Brian andContinue reading “Wandering . . . to Breakfast”

For those of you (and I believe it to be most) that get “it”, you are welcome from the deepest recesses of my heart. And for those others, I can only say, I am sorry and I hope you’ll tolerate me as I continue to emote. I have two older brothers – Mike and Steve.Continue reading “For Me, It Always Seems To Be Two”

I used to call these “things” epiphanies. I don’t any more. I use the term “connecting the dots”. It seems to me that one could have only so many epiphanies in life, certainly no more than a handful. AND there was really no way, in my mind, to language around theIr magnitude. Large epiphany? RelativelyContinue reading “Learning . . . Forever”
