That’s it’s currently 1:20pm, not 12:20pm. 4. New York City bagels…..there are no substitutes. 5. Another “no snow” winter….sorry to those who’veContinue reading “10 things for which i’m thankful.”

We’re 28 days into the new year, and for the first time in years, I’ve made it more than a week without giving up my resolution. Fortunately, my resolution wasn’t to go back to the gym! My resolution was based on a piece of advice that I heard prior to the end of last year,Continue reading “resolution.”

It’s easy to come up with a cliched resolution for starting the new year…..losing weight, reading x number of books, taking up a new hobby, etc. As 2022 (one of the toughest years of my life) comes to a close, I’m approaching 2023 with a tremendous opportunity instead of just a resolution goal. My opportunityContinue reading “change vs. growth.”

I’m gonna be a grandfather. My stepdaughter and son-in-law are expecting. As rough a year as this has been, this brings me incredible joy. Instead of being “Grandpa” or any derivatives of that name, I’m keeping it on the cool side….just call me “G”….and yes, this means I’m gonna be a porkpie hat wearing, pipeContinue reading “g. (Not to confused with Kenny in any way whatsoever)”

Talk about the world’s worst band name. I’m developing a love/hate relationship with organized religion. I love the religions that GENUINELY teach the importance of loving one another, regardless of race, gender, creed or preference. I have absolutely no tolerance towards any religious beliefs that preach division, or that one religion is correct or betterContinue reading “kanye and the christoholics.”

“We give the impression that all is well, trying to live all of the lies we tell.“ – Level 42 We all have things from our past that have either changed the course or direction of our lives, or that left a scar (physically and/or emotionally). Prior to losing my court case with my daughter,Continue reading “the approximation of truth.”

Yes, I was listening to The Byrds this morning. Although I haven’t hit the proverbial wall, I’m at a point where if I don’t make changes and step out of my comfort (stagnant) zone, I’ll lose my motivation to learn and to grow, and I’ll miss out on many opportunities for peace and happiness. TheContinue reading “turn, turn, turn….”

Cows have four stomachs…they chew on their cud four times more than needed….as someone who has always held on to negative experiences for far too long, I feel a kindred spirit connection to our bovine friends. This is why I consider myself to be “The Cow Whisperer.” It’s challenging to be so open with feelingsContinue reading “i am the cow whisperer.”

On this my 53rd birthday, I’m thankful for the following: Family – and that’s not just blood relatives. Laughter – there’s been a lot of that this weekend. Self-forgiveness…it’s very powerful and freeing. Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream – self explanatory. Otto’s naps…..he looks so incredibly peaceful. Cloudy days with no rain….I canContinue reading “8 things, based on 5+3.”
