My Book
Ironically, in my book, I create a futuristic city, albeit an alien one. That city has a symmetrical design and a rail system that gets people anywhere they want to go. City affairs are managed by a board of regents, that are appointed by their region, not elected. There are no politics in my city.… Continue reading

Legacy
My father left me a legacy, that of a cave dweller. When he was forty, he dropped out of society and brooded. I was a kid. I was sucked into his dark world. I’ve worked hard to overcome his legacy. I don’t want to be a cave dweller. Covid opened the way to return to… Continue reading

Meaning
I have always been an idealist. When I was a kid, my father (who was extremely well read) often got mad at me because my interest in our discussions centered around ideas and all their nuance, where he wanted to get to a definitive point. He wanted answers and I wanted questions. The search for… Continue reading

Heart and Vision
I like movies that have ideas. I am swooned by film with heart and vision. This is my top ten list, not listed in order (It was hard enough to come up with ten): The Four Seasons (1981), for its heart and humor; The Blind Side (2009) for its heart; Forbidden Planet (1956), for its… Continue reading

Expanse
Writing opens me to an expanse, a timeless and vast landscape. I travel in time, writing about my own past or venturing into realms of long ago. I can also go into the future. It’s being like Sponge Bob and Patrick in the box where from the outside, their imaginations came true. The first draft… Continue reading

Boring
The good thing where I live is: no hurricanes, rarely threat of tornado, no forest fires, no floods (I live on a hill), no street protests, no traffic and we live high enough above the sea level that the melting of the ice caps probably won’t reach us. But I do worry about the zombie… Continue reading

Content
Generally, I am content and at peace, most of the time. I got here because I looked inward to figure out my passions and sense of purpose. I’ve been content especially since I published a book, but I wouldn’t say I’m happy. I struggle with depression and get easily discouraged. My book is not a… Continue reading

Wing It
I have goals, things I want to accomplish, but making a plan is the hard part. It seems rote and dry. It’s my artistic side that can’t sit down and write out a plan. When I get the inspiration, I just start creating. The act of creating is all the fun. This approach spills into… Continue reading

First Responder
The first responder puts themselves in harms way without hesitation to save or help others. Those in trouble are stuck and the first responder is their only hope. Without them many people would die. It’s a grave responsibility and first responders do it repeatedly. I never take them for granted. Continue reading

Chewing Gum
It’s nice to know that politicians can walk and chew gum at the same time, but I cringe when I hear this phrase. Multi-tasking used to be the way to describe the ability to work on more than one thing at once, but I guess the gum cartel wanted to get their two cents in.… Continue reading
