Gentle on My Mind

February20

Ever since he was on The Grammy’s last week, Glen Campbell‘s Gentle On My Mindhas been on mine. Who would have thought the irony would come to play when he found this song so many years ago and made it his forever?  He has Alzheimer’s and is on a farewell tour. I can’t tell you [...]

My night after The Grammy’s observations

February13

I just got to watch  last night’s Grammy’s, and did it largely on fast forward.  But here are my thoughts: 1) Katie Perry now is a Smurf. That also, at long last, explains her voice. 2) My eldest says no one likes Adele. Not sure that’s accurate, but I think I get where she’s coming [...]

The Ghosts I Never Knew

February13

Tomorrow is Single’s Awareness Day!  At the end of my days of late, as I’m closing up the house and preparing to return to the apartment, it gets hard to walk out and not be sad and angry all at the same time. I’ve come to realize I had no idea who I was married [...]

Super Bowl and Super Service, Genghis Grill is the place to be Super Sunday

February5

(Editor’s Note: The original for this post is on the Genghis Grill site.  Please jump over there and give me a positive vote for it.  We’re in a tough race.) I have to say the icing on the cake about this challenge with Genghis Grill so far has been the people who I have enjoyed [...]

Ready to Start Again

January31

Tomorrow I begin another adventure in the world of weight loss. I went and weighed a little while ago and I’ve gained back about 17 lbs since coming back home from Alabama in September.  That’s not good. In late August, I had that heart attack.  I was supposed to lose weight, not add it back. [...]

Despair = Suffering – Meaning

January30

It’s amazing how much anxiety people feel over change.  They fight it.  Fret about it.  Talk about it.  Blog about it.  Resist it.  Hate it.  Complain about it. And so many of us each and every day seek to keep it from happening. Friday I received Chip Conley‘s new book, Emotional Equations.  WOW. A few [...]

Feeling Like Ugh

January3

It’s day 2 of 2012 and I’m drained at the stressors around me. Work is ever-present and I’m doing my level best to perform. I have three major projects underway and I’m doing everything I can to make them all come to fruition on time and within budget. The house, oMg, the house that has [...]

Welcome to 2012

January2

Goodbye 2011.  I don’t mind seeing you slip into the mystery of the past.  The year was certainly better than 2010, but it still wasn’t where I want to be on my life journey. There are some cool projects under way and I will be sharing more about them soon. In the meantime, I ask [...]

Merry Christmas

December25

Blessings to you and yours from my family.  May you have a wonderful holiday.

Let’s Face It Cowboys, We Are Not Going To Win With Tony Romo

December12

I just wasted another four hours on a Sunday to watch the Dallas Cowboys lose.  Again. For a long time, I’ve been writing here on this site that Tony Romo is NOT the quarterback who is going to take the Dallas Cowboys to anything but a losing season.  Time and again he has shown he [...]
