In life we tend to live day to day and not give a whole lot of thought to things that once brought us real joy. I'm not talking about the big things mind you. Sure it's easy to gloss over the occasional the best friend's birthday, your last promotion at work but, it's the smallest … Continue reading To Borrow A Book
Take The Compass Off The Shelf
Motivation, while its safe to say it can be just as elusive a Christmas tree in July, it's not an impossible find(Christmas Shops can be found in every lil tourist trap town ever built). So where does one find their mojo? their gumption if you will? Some of us can be moved to action with a small … Continue reading Take The Compass Off The Shelf
Trust The Chip?
So despite our collective penchant for all things technological (luddites not withstanding) could we really be this close to implanting a "chip" in our bodies? The news from Neuralink today would seem to suggest so. Those of you suffering from Technophobia may not be too familiar with Elon Musks venture. Yes the man who seems … Continue reading Trust The Chip?
Pack Up & Fly Away
Summertime, we often like to think of it as some sort of escape. We picture ourselves basking in the glory of all things bright & cheery. We pine for that one or two week getaway for the majority of the year prior AS IF it comes with some elixir that shall utterly free us for … Continue reading Pack Up & Fly Away
It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over
It is often said that "there is beauty in abundance". The armchair cynic will tell you (yell at you?) that too much of a good thing is anything but. This leaves a significant portion of people striving to walk/run/tepidly jog down a path of somewhere in between it all. Far be it from me to … Continue reading It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over
Season of Change
The Official Start of fall being less than two weeks away (#pumpkinspice white women & all things retail would argue differently I know, I know) has brought my favorite time of the year for reflection with trepidation. Yes, it's customary to wait til the end of the year to somehow reflect & project, I typically … Continue reading Season of Change
In Space, “No One Can Hear You Hate”
Someone once said it was THE final frontier... I say its the only frontier anyone actually cares about! Did you know that NASA as of the year 2020 has in its employ 17,373 individuals? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA) I repeat "17,373" individuals, & yet our #spacerace is down to three brilliant billionaires! Three!!! These three men have done … Continue reading In Space, “No One Can Hear You Hate”
A Return to Normal
They say this is it; they say we are on that bumpy road to recovery. The return of concerts, movies, and that lust for tourism! It's easy to say life has thrown us the curveball we never saw coming. Despite ALL the changes, despite ALL the chaos, supply disruptions, and angst, rest assured some peoples' "normal" … Continue reading A Return to Normal
Turning The Corner
Tis' the season! No I'm not referring to you whitetail deer hunting types. Nor am I hinting at you last minute shopping professional procrastinators! Why it's that time of year where one should take stock of their accomplishments! (or lack thereof; thank you #covid19) As I sit here sipping on some #TennesseCider courtesy of ole … Continue reading Turning The Corner
Silly Humans…
Debates are with regards to politics on a "national level" an utter waste of time. Lets face it did anyone & I mean ANYONE actually think that somehow someway in an age of instant information, & viral tweeting that something worthwhile would be conveyed this past Tuesday? Debates are an antiquated and truly boring way … Continue reading Silly Humans…
What’s The Move?
The official start of spring is just over one month old & with it has come changes like we have never seen. Typically the race to selling and buying of homes coincides with the bloom of everything from tulips to azaleas. A prediction of a sales drop of up to 35% From CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/19/coronavirus-update-home-sales-could-fall-by-35percent-as-spring-market-stalls.html ) … Continue reading What’s The Move?
The Fragile Fabric of Life
"Death & Taxes" is often a refrain heard this time of year that either brings a shrug or a chuckle depending on your particular point of view. People from every walk of life find themselves contemplating this refrain with perhaps a touch more anxiety here in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Sadly there just … Continue reading The Fragile Fabric of Life
Vote…or Don’t
There are some of you roaming this planet carefree and happy and on any given day there are some of you whom give it your all with reckless abandon. In case you find yourself here in the good ole U.S. of A. & just happen to reside in any one of the states slated to … Continue reading Vote…or Don’t
A Decade of Dreams
"The End Is Nigh" is often what one hears when the calendar reaches the inevitable moment of one decade rolling over in to the next. The naysayers rejoice, the optimists opine and the apathetic somehow manage to avoid. This particular looming decade feels different for many many reasons. Lets face it we are on the … Continue reading A Decade of Dreams
So Many Cups!
If I may, I shall whole heartedly side with one of my faves #HughGrant when he says "I hate water bottles" though not for the reasons Greta and Al Gore might. I find the insistence of the travel mug, & the water bottle as some sort of mandatory unisex accessory to be quite frankly appalling. … Continue reading So Many Cups!
Clear Your Cookies!
Every four years we hear about the inevitable "October Surprise" in and around just about any national political discussion. This is generally fraught with one or more crackpot conspiracy theories, and a plausible scenario thrown in for good measure. Well for somewhere around fifty percent of the populace that "surprise" was a lil late but … Continue reading Clear Your Cookies!
