Lessons learned about life; pearls of wisdom I’ve gleaned through pain, failure and honest reflection
First, welcome to the middle of the week! And, for that matter, the middle of the month.
If you’ve read enough here, you’ll know that I served in the US Navy aboard submarines. As such, I have a penchant for sub things. Thus, this Far Side delighted me more than (I’m sure) most folks.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one. And that your week is going well.
a gentle rainfall
cooling the summer air
calmness fills my soul
the prison of “should”
fear and insecurities
keep holding me back
Just a quick little one before I head off to sleep.
on the edge of dreams
garrulous crows chattering
as dawn progresses
I hope your week brings you closer to joy.

It’s a rainy morning in greater Seattle, which I have a certain fondness for. Memories of dark, calm coffee shops with a book, or a new magazine, and time. It sometimes didn’t feel as beautiful as I can now see. Time brings wisdom, I guess.
Happy Friday, everyone! And it’s a long weekend…Monday being Memorial Day and all.
I find this old bit from Ren and Stimpy to be joyfully nerdy and, thus, delightfully obnoxious, in a dad joke sort of way.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful, refreshing, and joy-inducing weekend.
The writer of the piece below is someone I’ve known a LONG time. I’ve always delighted in Addy’s creativity and thoughtfulness. She wrote this post last year, but I just found out it was published in a print version of Flaunt magazine. I’m quite proud of her!
I don’t want to give too much away, but this post is a personal look at trauma and recovery with a poetic bent.
So, without further ado, please follow my recommendation and give her a read.
Justice for late summer, using fish to tell the future, and giving yourself permission to move on. Read on Substack

Today, May 6th, is Sigmund Freud’s birthday. So, call your Mother!
Yeah, I know how wrong this is….
