A Father’s Legacy
The mythological Atlas holding the world on his shoulders https://youtu.be/tHxip2x-PLc Confession: I sometimes fall into the TikTok death scroll, typically for short bursts while sitting on the can. Recently, bursts have evolved. They’ve spilled outside of my white-tiled safe space into others that belong to my family. It’s not ok. Other things have been shifting... Continue Reading →
Lifetime Adventure List – #55 : A Funeral Soundtrack
I want to sing and play guitar at my funeral. It's important to me and a pretty cool goal, in my opinion. A lofty one, too, because A) I am tone deaf and B) I don’t know how to play guitar (yet). This idea originated and is inspired by Keenan Ivory Wayans’ film I’m Gonna... Continue Reading →
Another image grabbed from the interwebs. The words are wise, and I have none to add to them. Make of them what you will.
Through The Looking Glass
This promotional picture from Season 1 captures a moment of self-reflection where, when sitting in the middle of an absolutely nowhere desert, Bourdain chooses to shake the sand from between his butt cheeks and go.

Collecting memes, inspiring quotes, capturing odd and random things on my phone and other random things has been a hobby for a long time. They often bring... Continue Reading →

My Father’s Lightsaber
This picture was taken in April 2020 in advance of my son's first viewing of Star Wars. He and I built the lightsaber together at Disneyworld's new Star Wars theme land a few weeks after he was born. May the Fourth Be With You! (I couldn’t resist the temptation) Star Wars was released in the... Continue Reading →
There be Dragons Here!
I loved this game when I was a kid. The trailer feels appropriate for our discussion and the journey ahead. Enjoy.. Thanks for coming back. Before we head out too far down the road, I want to address a comment I made last week regarding the “tremendous hardships” a hero must overcome. The Hero’s Journey... Continue Reading →
