I think I’m at a decision point in my posting, described in the well used quote by Yogi Berra, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it”. I’m very aware that tagging any of my posts with “write” or “writing” garners more attention from the posting and reading public, they are popular …
Month: October 2011
It has been a while since I’ve spent time with Dad, partly just due to our time constraints, some travel, and that I just plain and simple did not have the emotional energy and fortitude to do it. Bad Son, I know. Really though, deep down I know I am not a bad Son, probably …
I can’t say that I thought this up, well on second thought I guess I could say it but it wouldn’t be true. I’m not even really sure who said it, and it’s likely a very loose paraphrasing. “Be true and fair to yourself, say nothing to yourself you wouldn’t say to a respected friend.” …
We just got back from Spokane, a city a few hours south of us, where we went for bit of a weekend getaway and some shopping. Shopping certainly wasn’t at the top of my list, I was more the designated driver, but I did walk through the malls and do a bit of people watching. I also …
I just picked up a book, maybe it picked me up I’m not sure. It’s called “The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life”, written by Julia Cameron.

At the initial writing of this I seem to be at a loss for words, wanting to post, hoping for enlightenment but not achieving it. Perhaps reading some of my book will spark an idea, a thought to build on, and it has. I have an idea, I can write. While I was traveling last …
You know, there are a lot of good people in the world. Let’s get that positive energy out there. Karma works.
Something happened to me this morning that doesn’t happen very often, a co-worker asked me “How are you doing”, and without thinking I answered “Pretty Good”. Man oh man, where did that come from? Does that mean I’m feeling better? One of the books I’m currently reading, in this case an ebook, talked a bit …
It was an eventful day yesterday, running the gamut from dealing with Dad’s care, to full-on socializing, and being on the listening end of a full on bitch session regarding work. By the end I felt beat-up and somewhat overwhelmed. Dads doctor called in the afternoon, the results had come back from his blood work and …
