Ink & Dreams

I’m writing thisfrom the remaining embersof my subconscious.Where we just spend the better halftrying to find one another. I wrote the directions down, butthe letters didn’t line up – the numbers ran like water.Ink never dries on paper in a dream. Finally, we bumped into each other.Frantic on a stairwell.A collision of flannel.A hug in chaos.AContinue reading “Ink & Dreams”

Haiku For Those Who Know

Here is my homage to those folks who never take their racks off their roofs. They probably never check to see if the hardware is tight either, but I digress.. Kayak racks in JanLike ski racks in the summerAre just for show, man January 22nd 2023

For the love of Edie

Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians were part of some wild wave of hippy music that took off in the late 1980’s that also included bands like The Black Crowes, The Spin Doctors, and Blind Melon. Mother Love Bone could be considered part of the same movement, but they were on another wavelength because AndrewContinue reading “For the love of Edie”

It’s Never Enough

The outdoors is my area of refuge. It doesn’t matter where I’m at, what I’m doing, or what’s going on around me – the outdoors fills my sails and keeps me going. And this time of year is actually one of my favorites. There’s not a lot going on out there in the winter. ThereContinue reading “It’s Never Enough”

December | Playlist

Music has the wonderful ability to guide you, enable you, inspire you, and help you understand yourself better than anything else on the planet. I don’t know if it’s the rhythm and the words, I don’t know if it’s the tempo and the tone – but whatever all of it is, it’s a powerful thing.Continue reading “December | Playlist”

Squirrels | 12.15.2022

I don’t mind telling anyone that the girls started sleeping in their own beds in the loft last night. They argued over who was going to sleep in what bunk and who was getting what stuffed animals, but in the end – they made the call and made it happen. Sure you can say theyContinue reading “Squirrels | 12.15.2022”

Weird Neil Rides Again

Growing up, I took it upon myself to absorb as much Neil Young as humanly possible. He was big medicine to me – his sound, his words, his politics. He found a place in me that I relied on to help me figure out who I was – and once I did, I kind ofContinue reading “Weird Neil Rides Again”

The Big Banter

I’ve been freelancing on the weekends for Gear Junkie since the beginning of the Fall. It’s been an exciting outlet for me to share my technical writing through – but let’s be honest, as technical as it can be, my soul and spirit hang from the pointing edges of each letter, and rest on theContinue reading “The Big Banter”

Proximity | 11.13.22

You movedAnd I almost didn’t find you.In dreamsI don’t know how to read.We touchedAnd didn’t recoil.Now I movedAnd you’re moving with me.

River Sisters Homestead

I live in a valley where the Connecticut River has a major influence on the weather we get down at the house. I’m half a mile from the main road, the other side of which lives the river. In the warmer months, you can hear the powerboats ripping down the multi-state waterway. Due to theContinue reading “River Sisters Homestead”
