The first draft of this post was massive. Now if you’ve ever seen the early drafts of my work – “Short” stories included – this shouldn’t come as a surprise, but I’d raised the bar even for me. I found myself talking about *Everything* including deeply personal stuff, better set down in a personal journal- …
From the title of this post, I can tell that there are some of you who are going to reel back in surprise saying, “That sounds suspiciously like math is going to happen. Who are you, and what have you done with Ken??” Trust me, nothing’s happened – and there won’t be any math involved. …
Today, Reader, I’d like to talk about something that I thought I’d try doing and how it led me to write the three most awkward words I’ve written in a long time. In the ongoing work to improve my overall Happiness, I started writing little “Thank You” notes to my Past Self. It started out …
I don’t know if it’s just me that needs to hear this today, or if you – Reader – need to hear it today too. You are the Author of your own story and, as such, you can – at any time – turn to a new page and write something new. I know. That …

Happy Sunday, Readers. Today I’d like to talk about something fun. Or, more precisely, about fun itself. Its a funny little word, fun (See what I did there?). We use it a lot, for a variety of things and, for myself at least, I hadn’t really thought about what “Fun” is. What does it mean …
So my internet connection has been kind of wonky for the past few days to the point where I’m not sure I’d stay connected for the duration of a longer post. On the up side, though, today is a perfect day to get outside and go for a walk – which is what I’m about …
