Old Suit
If I could change something about myself, I might change the way I hold on to regret. I look back at my career and I wish I started at the age twenty what I’m doing now in semi-retirement. And because I can’t, I have many regrets about my youthful decisions and I hold on to… Continue reading

Age Shifts
When I was young I was definitely a night person. I would either get caught up in late night movie watching or my own creative endeavors. Then, when I could, I would sleep in, often to pre-noon. I could not imagine the life of farmers who were said to wake just before dawn and retire… Continue reading

Thanksgiving
It’s going to be just three of us for Thanksgiving this year. My family is scattered all over or has other in-laws to visit. When I was a kid, we had 9 to 12 people, which made the day seem like a big deal. In the early days, when I visited my wife’s family, there… Continue reading

Holes Are Not Fatal
My favorite clothes are cotton T-shirts and loose fitting pants, but not jeans. I haven’t worn jeans in forty years. As a kid jeans were my favorite, especially the ones with bell bottoms. I thought I was so cool, with my “hippie” jeans. My parents didn’t get it. Back then new jeans were stiff and… Continue reading

Television
I would get more done if there was no television. I would read more, write more and probably socialize more. I work from home. For awhile the television was on as much as 18 hours of the day, often as background to fill out the house. Lately, I developed that habit of turning it off… Continue reading

Owning My Decision
The hardest decision I made was whether to stay with my career in the food industry or finish law school. I had tried doing both at the same time, I was mediocre at both, and didn’t like under performing, so I decided I had to choose. I loved my job in a big food company,… Continue reading

Less Fat
My traditional turkey dinner that I grew up on, had plenty of fatty sausages and sausage dressing. Every Thanksgiving we had the exact same menu. There was comfort in predictability and consistency. When my sisters and I were adults, my sister introduced corn pudding. It caused quite a stir with the elders who abhorred change.… Continue reading

Paint, Write, Sculpt
My challenge as an artist is having too many interests and not enough time. Although, I know I don’t use my time wisely. I am easily distracted. Everything has to be in order before I can feel free to create. When I worked outside the home, the workweek was my excuse. Working from home, I… Continue reading

Silly
The daily prompt asks about my three pet peeves. I could be serious, but I prefer to walk on the silly side today. Here I go. My first pet peeve, McDonalds super sizing everything. It was a bigger thing a while ago, but come on, I struggle with my weight and I don’t need someone… Continue reading

Fantasy
I’m reading a Fantasy book based on Slavic folklore, by a young indie author who I met at a Comic Con recently. Fantasy is not my thing, but I was curious about his work. I appreciate his enthusiasm for his story; it rings through the pages. That’s the key to writing, liking what your doing… Continue reading
