Inner Thought Radio
Early Saturday morning Sandra and I were Inner Thought Radio DJs. You know, you wake up with a song in your head and you just can’t get it out. Yeah, that was us. And for the life of me right now I can’t even think of what song I had in my head. And that’s… Continue reading Inner Thought Radio

Are You Off the Wall?
Yesterday was a bit of a nostalgic day in our house. Especially for Sandra. After months of putting it off, she finally decided she was ready to treat herself to a brand new pair of Vans shoes. Not that it was a momentous occasion mind you, but Sandra doesn’t often splurge on fun things for… Continue reading Are You Off the Wall?
When a Missed Opportunity Isn’t
The sand was cold. Like make your toes numb kind of cold. The air was chilly too. You could tell it was fall or that summer’s run of warm nights had at least come to an end. That’s kind of how the day started. We were walking toward the ocean. Mother Ocean. It was quiet,… Continue reading When a Missed Opportunity Isn’t
“It’s About More Than the Coffee”
I read a lot online. Some of it good, most of it bad. I see a lot of stories online with great messages, but many seem too far fetched to be real.

The Quandry of Writing a Query Letter
Anyone who knows me well knows two things; I’m very sentimental about tradition. I absolutely hate the phrase “That’s the way we’ve always done it” (a.k.a. Sometimes I really hate tradition.) It’s kind of a paradox or an oxymoron or something. Whatever. The point is tradition has its place. Until it doesn’t anymore. I’ve realized… Continue reading The Quandry of Writing a Query Letter
AT&T Park, San Francisco, CA. | A Micro-Adventure
Eight Hundred and Fifty Five Miles. Forty Six Hours. One City. Our goal was clear. AT&T Park, San Francisco, California. Boston Red Sox versus San Francisco Giants. Monday, August 19. Sandra and I had talked about driving up to see a game for some time, but had just never done it. You know how life… Continue reading AT&T Park, San Francisco, CA. | A Micro-Adventure
Being a Bystander Will Only Accomplish Watching Other People Achieve Their Goals
In 2008 I set out to write a book. I’d been living with the characters and portions of the story for some time. But for years I just didn’t have the discipline to sit down and write a novel. Thousands and thousands of words. The task seemed daunting. Of course, looking back I wish that… Continue reading Being a Bystander Will Only Accomplish Watching Other People Achieve Their Goals
