So the dogs got together up on the coast ..

So the dogs got together up on the coast .. Hear No Evil, See No Evil and Say No Evil. Their leader for this has been forever changed, by that sassy pup, from Hopkinton. The 2 of them just cannot get enough of everything. I got my lead on this, from Princes Grace, the border…


Living with one foot in the past and one in the future, and back again.

I like living with the dinosaurs every now and again. I mean that lovingly, with admiration, kindness and honor. I was planning a march Florida run with just 2 goals, see how the new house was progressing and see my 93 year old Aunt. She is my mothers sister. My mother passed away in her…


WSJ: The Way You Tell Your Life Story Matters. Start Now.

The Wall Street Journal’s obituary writer reflects. I have known this since I was 13 or so. It has made everything easy for me. Hopefully easier for anyone who knows me as well. Our lives are stories, some short, some long, some twisted, some boring. But when you realize how short life really is, and…


My Friend Mike –

This can fall under pickleball, this could fall under circumstance, it could fall under surgery chaos theory. but none of those do it justice. I’ll go with divine intervention. The religious kind. I am not all that religious, spiritual as they say, but do like to give space for it, to any and all. It…

” Leaving the stage at the right time demands self-awareness.” “I knew that to continue I would not be worthy of what my audience deserved.” George Will – On age and retirement … “One of the consolations of old age is the realization, …. That one isn’t going to die young…. Not everyone receives the…

Shadows are longer –

definitely have nothing good to say here. Wait – One upside, at least I didn’t have to go to school. Second upside, the new ice cream shop opened – it’s good.


It’s August

I do not have much to say or opine about. This is the month that seems to drag. One should really be at the beach. You know, see, feel the inevitable – shorter days, longer shadows. School was coming… oyy. I think I’ll go swimming, pretend I have errands and go see if the ice…


Poetry

I’ve always wondered how a poem starts, and then finishes in such a way that it gets considered to be a good poem. I’m not sure I even like poetry, it seems full of itself, contrite and arrogant all at once. Occasionally, I listen to poetry, however, it is listening to a good speaker, roll…
