Colorful Moments

I just read something somewhere that reminded me of a particular time in my life that always makes me feel good.  The timing was perfect because I’ve been feeling inspired by little things like, the weather, a song, the light of the day, colors on the ground and in the sky, the turn of a [...]

My Horse Penny

Several years ago I started writing about, Penny, my first horse.  These are the rough drafts and I’m not, by any measure, done.  I just found them (got an external hard drive and have been moving stuff), read through them, made a few edits, and have begun working on them again.  Yeah, yeah, they are [...]

Finding Inspiration

It’s been difficult and time consuming but I’m finally finding inspiration for a return to the old blog in a most curious manner. I’ve been facebooking and tweetering (whatever it’s called and it ain’t my cuppa) because that’s all the time I’ve allowed myself to expose and record my thoughts. I realize that I have [...]

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 [...]

2008 In a Word

From The Daily Humorscope for January 1, 2009:
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
You will become fascinated by the unlikely use of the same word to mean very different things. For example, what is the link between “seasons” as changes in the weather and “seasons” as in what you do to food? Or for that matter, why [...]

A Knight’s Tale

“The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn’t the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.”
John Lennon.
I find it interesting, or at the very least, serendipitous, how things find their way into my psyche. Is it coincidence that paths the [...]

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 [...]

Giving Thanks

This is a redux from a previous blog post. Lots of things have happened since I left Arizona five years ago. This is part of the story of my journey to Chicago; there is much more to it but this part is significant. It’s about friendship and relationships and gratitude. I’ve decided to make it [...]
