Rabbit, rabbit. There I said it. An old custom I learned of back in high school that I have held onto. May this month be filled with new beginnings. That is my hope. My goal. My wish. I may need a fairy godmother. The month of August is […]
I’m exhausted. Tired. Sleepy. Yet exhilarated. Even with unfair, uncaring people roaming the streets like zombies, doors may open. There are many possibilities yet we often forget they exist. We get caught up in mini-dramas. But we shouldn’t forget, life is do much more. It’s cliche to say […]
Shiny happy people. The college rock band REM sang about them a few decades ago. Supposedly, there were “Shiny happy people holding handsShiny happy people laughing.” But as Paula Cole once asked where’d all the cowboys go, I ask where’d all the happy people go? Seriously! I like […]
Everyone gossips. Or so some say. I don’t readily believe that. There are some who are vaults and can take a secret to their grave. However, I do believe 99.9% do gossip. But there is a spectrum. Gossip can go from mild and vanilla to spicy and a […]

The problem is many people just want […]
I want to say that today was a day of the blahs. However, I’m rather nonplussed. Unaffected. Maybe perplexed. But most certainly unimpressed. A shrugged shoulder followed me around. A giggle and often intermixed. I was about to remind myself that wednesdays ars really the day of the […]
Have you heard of or ever uttered the phrase “this too shall pass”? I have. I remember the first time I said it to myself. I was in a meeting with a nervous, gruff, chain-something academic who threw an epic temper tantrum whole meeting with community members who […]
As a kid, I loved the cartoon show Scooby-Doo. I was always in to mysteries. And, still am. I could easily sit down watch Scooby-Doo on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I also find myself often quoting the show from “jinkies” to “if it weren’t for those meddling kids…” […]
Boris Johnson resigned as UK Prime Minister. I’m not here to debate whether that was a right or wrong move. I will say that his resignation speech was interesting. To me, at least. Maybe a few others. In his speech, he noted some of his accomplishments. He did […]
