Made turkey soup today. Wrote– and just really enjoy what I’m learning from the process. I walk, have conversations with myself, pray, move some more, then write some more. The volume of writing over the last 4 years is vast across the genres of fiction, blogs and journals. But the show script is the one …
Whine Day
Just a day of waking up too early. Reading too much. Writing too much. Just in the head too much. So you call somebody who needs more help than you do, and you hear them out. And suddenly you feel better– knowing how blessed you really are, if you can get out of your own …
Direction
At the store, getting snacks with my brother-in-law. I couldn’t believe the choices. 7 varieties of Doritos alone. Midnight Snack Doritos–which taste like cheese burgers –was one of them. One stoner designed it for another– and the rest of us benefitted, because we all love novelty , we all love death by novelty, yet we’re …
Pasta
She asks for pasta. It’s 95 degrees in June, and my daughter wants baked ziti, and so I make it– with garlic bread– and a vodka sauce with some sausage in it. And I made the wings I thawed as well. I guess those are for dessert– buffalo wings and bleu cheese ice cream– could …
Foraging
With my wife and daughters traveling, I’ve decided not to go grocery shopping this week– instead focusing on eating only food and ingredients we have in the pantry, fridge, or freezer. Everyday, I get to surprise myself. Thawing chicken wings for tomorrow. Dumplings for lunch. Steak , soba and salad for a few days. It …

“What’s wrong with you?” “Nothing. I snapped at my daughter before she went to work.” “So what’s the problem?” “What do you mean what’s the problem?” “What’s the problem? “Don’t you have a daughter and get scared she won’t come home after work?” “Well, I got a daughter.” “And?” “You know. I got a daughter. …
No White Knuckles
Just back from the Smoky Mountains , visiting an old friend who’s staying there. On the way back to Franklin, I spotted an old ambulance converted into the old Ghostbusters vehicle. Loved it. A couple of adults either watched the movie and thought it was cool, or their kids begged them for the conversion, or …
Saturday
Excited for Saturday evening. Quick speaking jam in the morning, then a tire repair, shopping, an event at the library, then home to mow, then steaks at the end of the day. Prior to starting the grill, I thought to myself– it was a good day, why not have a beer while you grill? So …
Magical, AF
Viewing a Japanese art show, in Seoul, from my living room in Franklin, TN. My wife, daughter and niece visit a packed gallery where the artist has created sets of miniatures, then photographed the scenes and printed them in a large format. Very Lilliputian, somewhat unique, curious and absolutely charming. A bed of dry ramen. …
