Oh, the good old days. The days I ran through the fire hydrant’s splashing waters with great abandon. The days I put banana slices in my Frosted Flakes. The days where I could love both Duran Duran and Guns N Roses. The days in which I wrote long […]
I’ve had to train myself on many a varied things in life. We all have. Some more than others. Just this past week I taught myself how to make a complicated map that needn’t be complicated other for the fact that it was a silly government requirement. There […]
Easter brings, springs up, fond memories. I don’t recall a rainy Easter day. Although my birthday, which is coming up shortly, is almost always rainy. Easter egg hunts were a delightful time in which my son just ran and ran giggling while he picked up stuff from the […]
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Ad nauseum. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. No. Don’t think. The cycle stops here. No need to repeat. Let things dry as they are. Let things air out as needed. Just stop repeating the same cycle. Out there it is often said “Insanity is doing the same […]

The other day I jokingly tried to bribe my son with $100 to eat something new. It was spicy, hot Korean cauliflower bites. But he was not having it. Literally. Could not convince him in any way. I lamented to him that back in the day (when he […]
As a New Yorker, I am quite cynical. But as I’ve noted before, I’m actually quite sunny as well. I’m a blend of New York and California. Thus, my cynicism is curved and not pointed. Whatever that means to you. One thing in that vein, that I have […]
