It’s Easter here today in the Northern Hemisphere, so Happy Easter to all who celebrate, in whichever ways you choose to celebrate it, either as a Christian holiday, an Easter Bunny event, or in some other pagan/indigenous manner. (Easter was yesterday Down Under, so I wish a belated Happy to my friends there.) I’m […]

OK, I have a passport application appointment scheduled for the first week in May (the first date available at a local post office). The processing time for applications right now is 11 to 14 weeks, so I’ll get it sometime in September or a bit sooner. That’s still plenty of time before I plan to

I am sickened and saddened, hearing Republican operatives engaging in “defensive projection”: accusing DEMS of doing what they’ve been criminally accused and/or convicted of doing themselves, and worse. The goal: to take the heat off themselves when they’re accused of political and sexual crimes by saying, “The DEMS do it, too!” Except that

I had the most intriguing dream last night. Have NO idea where it came from, but it was a “page-turner,” for sure! At the start, Mom and Dad had dropped me off in New York City with all of $120 to spend over the next three days “just staying alive.” I thought (because

I’m back from a joyous visit to Cle Elum where ten people came (some from a long way away!) to share a few hours laughing and reminiscing. The winners for the longest distance traveled to attend the gathering were Patty Walsh (sorry, I don’t know Patty’s married last name: I’m going by her maiden

This is Part two of my week-long Cle Elum Memories series. (I had no idea it would become a series. So many memories have been flooding my mind that it’s hard to keep track of them all!) But first, a little history. Cle Elum means “swift water” in the Yakama language. That’s because (duh!)

Navel Gazing defined: “Engaging in or characterized by self-indulgent or excessive contemplation of oneself or a single issue, at the expense of a wider view.” I see persistent and excessive navel gazing on Facebook, especially from Creatives. I think most of us suffer from more than our fair share of Impostor Syndrome, defined as

I just read this article at Inc.com. Take a couple minutes to read it and then come back here to get my critique of it… https://www.inc.com/bharat-kanodia/use-law-of-reciprocity-to-boost-your-brand.html? This no-brainer kind of advice obviously works wonders for most success-bound men. And men are the segment of the population that probably most needs to hear it,

Happy Valentine’s Day. I hope you have someone to share it with, but if you don’t (like me), take yourself somewhere fun today. Love on yourself! I always wonder about those millions of couples who married on some past Valentine’s Day whose marriages didn’t survive. This must be a melancholy day for them,
