I’m coming back to this question because it keeps revealing itself to me. My mortality is all too obvious today it seems.
Previous life reflections have almost always been centered on the idea of what I should be doing and if my path is going where I’d like to be. Those thought processes and [...]
This morning, I woke up and saw that a city North of where I live, North Branch, had instilled a four day school week. This is actually old news, but it had been past me for some time. I quickly went on a rant on Twitter about how messed up our system is when cost [...]
I’m far from an old man, but for the first time in my life today, I wondered how I could stay young.
I was thinking about technology more than anything, and how difficult it will be to stay up with the new technology coming through. Recently, I’ve gotten a lot of guff about not being on [...]
Do you want either? There are many, many people who don’t really want anything to do with either. That’s just fine, although it’s probably not an easy thing, to find roles today where you are told what to do constantly. Most people don’t have time for workers who just do what they’re told, it’s too [...]
Homework has been the toughest part of class. This week the homework is to describe two vacations I’ve taken in Spanish.

Something called out here is something I learned a little after high school, that it’s harder to be [...]
Despite technology allowing for easier and easier transmission of information, it seems tougher and tougher to stay up on things.
By things, I mean a lot of the things I used to spend so much time following closely. Technology, social networking, mobile marketing, sports, indie music, local artistry and many other things used to take up [...]
In my last post, I referenced “endgame” thinking. It occurred to me that the way I think of that word is not actually a traditional sense.
Normally speaking, when you reference the endgame it is a chess term that covers off on the conclusion of a game. I am actually using it to discuss prescient thinking [...]
Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat
An’ covrin’ the crossroads I’m standing at
Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind
I don’t mean trouble, please don’t put me down or get upset
I am not pleadin’ or sayin’, “I can’t forget”
I do not walk the floor bowed down [...]
