I've written about this before, but if words are put in the right order they can build, destroy, invent, kill, praise or humble the reader. I don't claim to put the words in the right order too often but when I get close, I love sharing them with you. To be honest, I've spent a … Continue reading IN THE RIGHT ORDER
CAN YOU BLINK?
California artists Blink 182 burst on to the rock music scene in 1999 with their smash hit 'All the Small Things'. Trust me when I say that you've heard it. Twenty years later and the band has had more hits and success around the world. They are on tour right now, and just played my … Continue reading CAN YOU BLINK?
PRAISE AND DOOM
Well THAT title sure sounds deep right? Hold on, hold on, it's July and the sun is shining, birds are singing and I am writing this while sitting on the porch of my lake house in northwestern New Hampshire. It's quite different than my writings of six months ago while laying around watching the NFL … Continue reading PRAISE AND DOOM
SUMMER 1984
I was 11, getting very deep into music and although I had only been playing for a year, I was hooked on drums as well. Around this time I also have clear memories of warm weather, being up at the lake enjoying time with my cousins, fishing, rowing around, and camping out in a tent … Continue reading SUMMER 1984
INDEPENDENCE DAYS
My friends....it ain't just about July 4. When you live with chronic illness, you take the independent days whenever and however they come. It always amazes me that so many of you "ableds" that can get up, move freely and do whatever you want, still choose to sit around looking at your phone. Hell, look … Continue reading INDEPENDENCE DAYS

WHY SO MUCH WORK?
All of us have hills that we are willing to die on. All of us have differing definitions for the level of work we put in on a daily basis to exist, survive and thrive. I'm not talking about career, job, or any other legal way that we make money. Today I am going to … Continue reading WHY SO MUCH WORK?
DIG FOR THE STORY II
Here I go with a few more famous encounters: Name: Steven Tyler, lead singer, Aerosmith. 2006 Logan International Airport, Boston, 1AM Me: "Steve? Sorry to bother you. I'm a fan and thank you for all of the music." Tyler: "Right on brother!" (Hugs me) "What is everyone doing here in the middle of the night?" … Continue reading DIG FOR THE STORY II
DIG FOR THE STORY
From time to time, I have met "famous" people. This has happened both by purpose and/or being in the right place at the right time. These people have included musicians and professional athletes. If the situation permits, I have always asked them to tell me a story or tidbit that I won't read about in … Continue reading DIG FOR THE STORY
TICK TICK TICK
“I counted my years and realised that I have less time to live by, than I have lived so far. I feel like a child who won a pack of candies: at first, he ate them with pleasure but when he realized that there was little left, he began to taste them intensely. I have … Continue reading TICK TICK TICK
