Productive or Destructive?
I feel creative and most productive when I’m on the way to a movie I want to see. Recently, it was on the way to the Dune 2 movie. Better go see it now ’cause it’s leaving the silver screen after this weekend! Don’t worry, it’s available in DVD already! As for time of day, …
The Mountain
The photo above of Mount Rainer is from Pier 64, miles away from the beautiful spring flowers that bloom in fiery colors all over the scenic drive around the side of the mountain. My mom asked me if I wanted to go on a scenic drive around the mountain when I was visiting them in …
A Man of Masks No More
I left my job in San Francisco as well as my Heart during COVID. I’m still trying to recover my nesting instinct and pushing Newton’s Law, “A Body at Rest Tends to Stay at Rest.” and the laws of the conservation of energy! Thank God for Zoom and the upsides to WFH, Work From Home!
Rainbow Warriors

Dear Doug
Looks like you made it to 100. Good thing you stopped eating everything at the grocery store that are in the center of the store–and kept to shopping only on the edge of the store: the produce, the meats, the dairy and the deli–and not all the crap with ingredient lists designed to put you …
Return Receipt Requested
A Stitch in Time Saves Nine Dear Douglas, -or- Dear Not Enough Time, Hurry and Worry rhyme–and it’s no accident. Actually, it usually results in one! Almost every short cut you take may mean you never get the solution or the answer you would need in the future, such that you won’t have a do-over …
The Trail of Pairs . . .
. . . of my Sneakers, Converse, Basketball hightop, Vans, Skechers—and Running Shoes! J’you know ‘oh hoe. Tonight I’m running you! J’you know ‘oh hoe / that in the book of life, when we die / and review our biggest lie / of what we came here to do / and be and set debt …
