Thinking today about all of the losses that occur as we age, retire, and slide into our final stages of life. Transitioning from childhood into adulthood is traumatic enough. We find new friends, but we lose old ones. We might go to college, in which case we leave still more school friends and family behind, […]

You wanna know what serenity is like? Drive home and sit with your cat quietly on the couch after watching two grandsons for four hours while they fight over toys, squirt you with squirt guns, scream because I wouldn’t let them eat an entire bottle of gummy vitamins, continuously spew toy cars throughout the house,
In the interest of the advancement of human knowledge, I give you some further recommendations from the land of psychedelic memory aids, Grass and Goodness. First on the hit parade is a vape cartridge from Fenway. Very nice packaging and the recyclable pen itself is awesome. The oil’s taste is excellent. It does not taste

After a nice Easter dinner at my daughter’s house surrounded by screaming grandkids and opinionated in-laws, Gail and I decided to head off for a short hike at Moccasin Kill. The trail started out with a crooked sideways bridge across a sketchy looking creek, through some mud filled squishy stream crossings. What was thought to

As my 66th birthday rapidly approaches like the hot kiss at the end of a cold fist, my mind drifts back to my younger days. Aches and pains were minimal, friends and relatives were not passing faster than the bean soup I had last night, and each meeting with friends was not filled with tales

In the past few years, mainly since I have retired, I’ve felt myself sucked into the world of jazz. Oh, I’ve always been mildly attracted to it, mainly from the more jazzy side of rock music. Bands like Steely Dan have a pseudo jazzy feel, but I have since found out that the band is

As I enter my sixth decade of life, I begin to wonder about my legacy. We probably all do a bit of this as we see our friends and classmates pass into the great beyond. Some even write their own obituary in hopes that they will be remembered in a positive light. Just today I
