Familiar feelingsabout something and not someone… The thrill of diving deeper…The fear of not finding the bottom.The fact that there is no bottom… The sudden change of pace.An extra ingredient in the game of life. I’m getting distracted on purpose. It comes in waves.I may be a strong swimmer,but what am I missing on theContinue reading “John Mayer | 8.25.23”

The Nevermore
I used to have this friend named Tyler. Hell, he’s still my friend – I just haven’t talked to him in years. Life gets weird. It got a little weird. But – at this point – I can’t remember why. Water under the bridge…Anyway… This guy drank more coffee, per capita, than anyone I’ve everContinue reading “The Nevermore”
David Gilmour | 8.15.23
A plateau can happen with anything… A period where nothing’s coming inand nothing’s going out. We are creatures who thrive on input.So these brief moments can make or break any situation. I find that it’s best to hold on –Stay the course..Don’t look backAnd don’t think forward… Don’t speculate.Especially when you don’t know.. You putContinue reading “David Gilmour | 8.15.23”
Gordon Lightfoot | 7.26.23
Soft featuresthat come with hard lines. I cross lines all the time… Deadpan deliverythat breaks the ice.Legions of laughterthat drew me out of hiding.. You get to know peopleand people get to know you.But I feel so disconnectedwhen I head out on my own. Laser-focused and drowning – but somehow I’m breathing.So there’s no needContinue reading “Gordon Lightfoot | 7.26.23”
Blueberries and Rain
Growing up on my grandparent’s farm, I had the benefit of walking out into the orchard with my cereal bowl and picking some fresh blueberries to go along with my morning cornflakes. Somewhere in late May, maybe early June, my aunt and cousins would come over and we would drag out the massive nets toContinue reading “Blueberries and Rain”
Dead & Company, Fenway 6.25.2023
I wrote this right as I woke up the morning after the show. It was still thick in the magic of it all and I’m still feeling traces of it now, a week later. There’s nothing like a Dead show, but there’s nothing like spending it with the people you love. There’s also something toContinue reading “Dead & Company, Fenway 6.25.2023”
So Many Roads…
I haven’t been getting out to hike nearly as much as I’d like to. It’s not for lack of want, but lack of time. Either way, being that this is my last week off before I start my new 9-to-5, I’m going to make an effort to get out there and get my head right.Continue reading “So Many Roads…”
Lash The Mast | 4.22.23
… 5:08am Cat claws on sunburnt skin are easier to ignore than you might think when you’re trying to get another hour of sleep… Tori Amos plays on in the other room. I’m trying not to listen. But decided to let her sounds take me into another round of dreaming. All attempts are unsuccessful andContinue reading “Lash The Mast | 4.22.23”
Just a minute…
Writing a new blog post while I’m working probably isn’t the best use of my time – but as this is only going to take 5 minutes, and I need to shift my step to pivot to a new project, this is a nice way of doing it. I’m going to be 42 next monthContinue reading “Just a minute…”
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”
