Heaven help me, I may be a morning writer. That’s not to say that I *Can’t* write at other times, it’s just that it’s easier for me to get words down first thing in the morning. Sidebar: It technically isn’t the first thing in the morning. I wouldn’t get very far without my coffee. I …
Earlier this week I was listening to the “Off Camera with Sam Jones” podcast. Actually, I’ve been binge listening to every episode available in I-Tunes for the last few weeks. Sidebar: If you haven’t given it a listen, check it out. It’s got a real Inside the Actor’s Studio vibe that I love. The episode …
Last week, I talked about how I often tend to get introspective around my birthday (and New Years, but that’s a way off yet) and how I had a hard time focusing on the positive. part of that post was a sampling of the things that I came up with that I wanted to see …

Last week, I had been trying to get myself back on a kind of writing schedule. I kicked it off on Monday. I got up early, and got some writing done before reporting in (Figuratively speaking) for the day job. It felt pretty good and I was glad that I’d done it and was looking …
I haven’t written in a week. A good part of that has to do with the state of *waves hands at the world* everything. More times than I like ot admint, I find myself mindlessly (or semi-mindlessly) doomscrolling (which is an awesome word for it) through twitter, bouncing from one garbage fire to another. It …
I can’t remember where I first heard this term, although I suspect that I originally came across it during a dimly-remembered chemistry class. Basically, as far as I remember it, the term refers to the minimum amount of energy required to kick off a reaction. If you want to start a ball rolling down a …
Here in my neck-o-the-woods, Monday (June 15th) marks the end of a bunch of stay-at-home orders and I’m hearing folks around me starting to talk about things getting back to “Normal.” This kinda scares me. Primarily, it scares me because there’s still no cure or Vaccine for the Coronavirus. We are still logging upwards of …
