So this weekend on my 42nd birthday I indulged in a lifelong dream (definitely not a midlife crisis) and bought a RV. Specifically: an Airstream Caravel 22FB. The situation with Covid has taught me many things, but the main one is that life is too short to not get the most out of it we […]
Sheryl Crow was before her time. That is all.
It’s always funny looking back at the last time I posted, to try and read the mood. I can honestly say I had no clue back in January that anything like what we’ve seen would or could happen. But today I don’t want to look back on pandemic and race riots and murder hornets and […]
Our poor tree barely survived the holidays. It’s unbelievably dry in Colorado, and despite near daily watering, he finally just gave up. I always seem to start a post complaining about how busy I’ve been- so let’s not do that this time. Sure, the holidays and travel and birthdays and buying a house really just.. […]

All of these are fair, they’re all subjective, and it all boils down to one thing: Do […]
Perspective is a tricky thing at the best of times; it’s hard to gain, hard to use, and easy to lose. Even harder is to know when you’ve lost it until after the fact. We have a Sunday morning tradition of breakfast burritos and walking on the beach to talk about our week. It’s an […]
This is a hard topic to write about for me. I’ve written something like 9 drafts of this post and erased them all as they wander off topic faster than I can type. For the sake of this writing I’m going to talk about just one aspect of being in the moment, and if I’m […]
