Wildly Dizzy

I started to write something about how windy it’s been here in Albuquerque. I Googled “Winds of March” and ended up on a spiritual path with the band Journey. While I liked that song (though don’t remember hearing it… ever… and thought I knew just about every Journey song) my favorite song is still “Lights”. [...]

Here’s Lookin at You, Kid

Every time I try to write here… I find myself stuck in complaint. I don’t wanna be like that so I just don’t write. *sigh* It’s a vicious circle. I need to get over it.
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid:
Lulu ate an entire plate of banana pancakes off the kitchen counter this morning. Bugger! Only one [...]

Can You Imagine?

Being an eleven year old, fifth grade, boy? Now, imagine being the smallest in your class; short and slight, weighing only 62 pounds and the other kids tower over you by at least 8 inches. You are, at best, the same size as the average third grader.
Imagine your dream of being able to play football and [...]

The Slightest Unintentional Movement

Your feelings are stretched like rubber bands and the slightest unintentional movement now can cause one to snap. Your relationships are likely the primary source of stress, especially if someone is making demands of you that are simply outside the scope of what you can do. Breathing deeply and allowing time for meditation or prayer [...]

Vacation!

Two months and five days… No time to blog and not really feeling inspired to share, continue, carry on… It is a weird time for everyone, considering politics, news, environmental issues, the price of gas and all things financial. I’ve felt inundated with negativity by an onslaught of actions out of my control. Been keepin’ [...]

Belated

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’… Into the Future…
It’s also been slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ right through my fingers. How time flies when you’re havin’ fun, eh? Not so much but it’s been whizzing by at a curious rate. I blame it on Sunday and two things: earlier than ever Daylight Savings and my birthday.
I had [...]

In My ‘Hood…

Mark Lyons was the neighborhood bully when I was growing up. He was one grade higher than the rest of us and was always ordering someone around. He wasn’t exactly a ring leader but he would bully the younger kids until they finally gave up and let him call the shots. He’d grab one of [...]

Black Soul Virulent Injera Politics of Dancing

Oh, it has been far too long…
I just walked into the boys’ bathroom and caught all three of them, Larry, Mo, and Curly, slapping each other in the face. It was literally a Three Stooges Moment. I scared the hell out of them just by walking across the threshold; the teeny, tiny room went deadly [...]

Touchin’ Up My Roots

Lord A’ Mighty, it’s been a while and that’s mostly because I’ve been sicker than a dawg for the last week. I’ve had a hunk-a-hunk-a-somethin’-er-other and it’s been such a humdinger that I’m regressing into my hillbilly roots. I sound nasal and rough-necked.
Pretty.
Last Sunday I had such a fever…I found myself listening to the cat [...]

BoobTube and YouTube Lacteal Goodness

Oh!  The Google hits I’m gonna get for this one…
Where am I? Well, I’m here and I’ve been working. I’ve been working a lot. ‘Tis the season and I finally have several days off in a row, starting tomorrow. I finished my day at 5:00 today and logged almost about 50 hours in just the [...]
