I have friends who run for fitness. Quite a few, actually. I think they’re crazy. But maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me begin at the beginning… I’ve always hated running for fitness.

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Sometimes we can’t get out of our own way, and that has me a little bummed. But I want to share a story with you, and maybe we can realize it doesn’t have to be this way.

He’s funny and talented, has doting parents, a beautiful girlfriend and a loyal best friend. And then there’s Chicago. Ahhh….Chicago. And there you have it. I’m a fan of all seasons… Continue reading Life Moves Pretty Fast. If You Don’t Stop and Look Around Once In a While, You Could Miss It

A Momentary Lapse of Reason
It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to write in this journal. Forgive me if I ramble a little, though if you’ve read anything I’ve ever written here you’ll know I’m likely to do just that. Ramble.

Drop Some Love, Some Laughter or Some Kindness into the Water
