Super Focused

I drove to Texas last week and I’m still here. I’ve spent the last week in strategy meetings and catching up with old friends. Someone asked - how do you run on 3 hours of sleep and act like it ...

Makes you wonder

Today, I was having a meal and overheard what sounded like a pretty heated discussion from a couple at the other table. They looked to be in their late 40s or early 50s. He was sitting there qui...

Reality bites!!

I’ve spent several years working in music as my profession. If you measure success, the people who win all the awards and play the big arenas then by no means am I successful. If you measure suc...

The Pattern

Ahem....

I don’t have an entry. I don’t have much to say at all - I’m enjoying the silence. I just wanted to post this to let you know that I think about all of you that follow me and whom I follow. ...

Living the Dream!

Not complaining - except for the person in charge of pushing me.. I will complain about them. Not in an angry way - in a sarcastic playful way. Tonight I had a local show with 3 other bands. I...

Eyes Wide Awake

Something has caused me the worst insomnia I’ve had in quite a while. At the moment, I’m going on 28 hours. I’m not tired and I’m not sure why. I sat and worked at my computer off and on for 18 ...

Hide and Go Seek

One of my favorite games as a kid because I was so good at it - hide and go seek. I’ve hidden so well before the other kids forgot I was playing and left. It’s true! I was so good at becoming p...

Blood Moon and AI

I guess I got in bed last night around midnight. I was trying to get to bed earlier than I normally do so I could wake up at 5 am and see the Blood Moon - Lunar Eclipse. I failed to factor in on...


Pretty much my entire life I knew, as a kid, that I grew up in the wrong time. I should have either been a teenager in the 50s (wouldn’t that have been the coolest?) Or I should be a teena...

Ever have those nights?

I remembered I had purchased a frozen cauliflower pizza crust so I took it out and let it thaw. I had this bright idea to make my own pizza. I was pretty sure that if I went overboard on trying ...

Crossroads pt 3

I explained to the attorney who called, I just don’t think I can give 3 years of my life and 250k dollars in student loan debt to go back to law school and become an attorney. Like I told a ju...

A Crossroads

I was contacted by a gentleman that has taken an interest in my advocacy work for the disabled. I learned a long time ago that the only way to pursue my dreams was to help someone else. All I’ve...

Let's be honest

How much did Valentine’s cost you? I’m embarrassed about it - but a memory was made and the smile has been non stop. Win-win

How I would do it

If I ever found myself having won the lottery - like the big one… The Billion Dollar One… Here’s one of the things I would love to do. You ever see the show Undercover Boss? I would want to do...

Ever hit an Emotional Wall?

That’s what happened. Someone I am very close to pushed me to my emotional limit. It was so bad that we almost ended a long relationship over it. I reached my limit for being the one that carr...

The Cruise

I managed to leave for Florida a whole day prior to the beginning of the ice age. I drove to Gainesville FL and stayed for 2 days. I think I would assimilate well into a college town. There’s a ...

It's most definitely me

It’s probably exhausting for someone who is extremely serious about everything to be around me. I don’t subscribe that everything that happens is a 5 alarm fire. I know some folks like that. If ...
