Journal Entry – More thoughts at 38
It is only recently that I’ve noticed that I am indeed “older,” in comparison with “young people.” This sounds strange to say but I never considered myself “older,” my mindset always had me categorized with the younger. It is only within the past year or so, with all the talk about the Millennial Generation, meeting…… Continue reading Journal Entry – More thoughts at 38
Journal Entry – Tuesday 7.21.2015
I prefer to write in the morning. As the day goes on my mind fills with the minutia of work, bills, life and it seems to make the mind somewhat numb. The best time to write is when I awake in the middle of the night, around 2-3 AM. There is an energy in the…… Continue reading Journal Entry – Tuesday 7.21.2015

Melancholy Tuesday – 7.14.2015
A gray melancholy ocean. I went out beyond the gate and stared from the beach to the horizon as a strong wind made my eyes water. After being inside staring at computer screens all day I was feeling a bit numb and needed to feel alive, any type of feeling at all would do. I…… Continue reading Melancholy Tuesday – 7.14.2015
Thinking of the 1980s
This past weekend I had the urge to listen to my 80’s playlist during my workout. When I’m on the elliptical I like to zone out and really exercise not only my body but also my memory. I find that nothing helps bring back the memories better than music and if I focus I’m sometimes…… Continue reading Thinking of the 1980s
Saturday 7.11.2015
Today is my wife’s birthday. I woke up early, put the dried dishes away, made the coffee and picked a bouquet from the garden. I never know what a good gift would be so I went the safe route with a Nordstrom’s gift card. I’ll also make breakfast and dinner. Lunch? Well, she also has…… Continue reading Saturday 7.11.2015
