My twenty year high school reunion was last year. Okay I just dated myself but honestly, I don’t care. I’m not that old. That’s what I keep telling myself, and it seems to be working. I still ride my skateboard, play in the surf and sand and this past Saturday I was even watching cartoons. … Continue reading What Matters Most

Today is the Day We Remember…
History is generational. Each generation has their view, their perspective. Some of that perspective translates. Often, it doesn’t. We have no idea the real perception of the people who lived their lives 2000 years ago. We struggle to understand the perception even 200 years ago. In the early morning hours of December 7th, 1941 our… Continue reading Today is the Day We Remember…
Children are Made Readers on the Laps of Their Parents
One of my fondest memories of childhood is the tradition we had in our house Christmas Eve, when my dad would put my brother and me on his lap and read the classic “A Visit from St. Nicholas”. The story is a favorite for many children and adults alike. It weaves itself in our minds… Continue reading Children are Made Readers on the Laps of Their Parents
There is Nothing to Writing…
For me, there are no other truths in the creative process than the above quote by Hemingway. The act of writing transforms the writer into a mere messenger, baring his or her soul onto the page one keystroke at a time. The process becomes both sin and salvation. It becomes the land between our dreams… Continue reading There is Nothing to Writing…
If This is Your First Night at Fight Club…

But those things have been slow in coming. But that hasn’t deterred me from my goal. … Continue reading If This is Your First Night at Fight Club…
The Ripples are Getting Bigger…
“The best surfer in the world is the one having the most fun.” – Unknown I find the above quote to be true, being a surfer myself, and not the best I might add. When I’m in the water, nothing else matters. I’m not thinking of what others think of me. I’m not thinking about… Continue reading The Ripples are Getting Bigger…
I Begin with an Idea, and Then It Becomes Something Else
It starts with an idea… Anything. Everything. It is where the beginning begins. Where dreams are dreamt, lives are lived, love is loved. An idea. Spawned from the æther of our minds, our hearts, our souls. But what does it mean to have an idea? What is an idea? We are living in an age… Continue reading I Begin with an Idea, and Then It Becomes Something Else
Around the World in Eight Ways
Country Country invokes images of big belt buckles and even bigger hats. Country is that place “over yonder”. City folk sometimes don’t spend too much time in the country. They have cows. Country I’ve been to Vancouver, Canada. Very metropolitan. Very modern. A unique blend of big city against the wilds of Mother Ocean and… Continue reading Around the World in Eight Ways
