I fired up my old computer for the first time in months. I’ve been using my work computer at home most of the time – a practice I usually avoid. Since I’d be turning my work computer in at the end of the week, I needed to test the old laptop to see if it…

GUILT
Lately, I’ve been feeling bad about a few things. It doesn’t take much. I typically feel like I’m always in someone else’s way and I’m usually looking at what I’ve done wrong in any given situation. Add to this my tendency to try to feel how someone else might be feeling (walk in their shoes)…
HOME (9/29/19)
I think a lot about the word home. I mean a lot. It’s probably my favorite word in the English language. For me, it evokes such a sense of comfort, but also longing. I love songs that tackle the issue of home, poems and quotes too. I think if you’ve ever felt a strong sense…
CLEAN UP IN AISLE 4
I didn’t write last night. I feel bad about that. I didn’t have anything to write about, or perhaps the words just weren’t there…. I’m having a similar challenge tonight. Lack of material, lack of focus, and think I might want to go out to listen to music. But I’m trying to establish a habit….
DISTRACTION
The Phone, the phone, the phone. One thing I would like to cultivate is a better attention span. Years ago when I was in grad school I read a few books (which of course made me an expert) on how technology changes our brain. The evidence is alarming, if not scary. I’ve felt the change….
SO IT GOES.
“When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead…
DAILY ENSŌ
About two years ago I met a woman from North Jersey. Her name is Tamara, the accent is on the first syllable (Tam-ara). We met online, and then in person. We went to Freehold, NJ for drinks and dinner. She’s pretty, and chill, and also on the spiritual side. We had a great conversation –…
DINNER FOR TWO
Tonight I went to an old haunt for dinner. Along the river just across the bridge in New Jersey, there’s a small Italian restaurant, Revere. It’s tucked in next to an auto repair shop and just around the corner from some condos where an ex-girlfriend used to live. It was the girlfriend who turned me…
TRANSITIONS
Right off the bat, I think I’ve messed up. I should have called it transitions pt. 1, except it’s not a series, this certainly isn’t the first…. I start a new job in a little over a month. I gave notice at my current job last week. It feels like it will be a long…
