My new status will take some getting used to. It’s in a good way, of course, but it’s just not something I’ve been accustomed to for the past few years. Maybe the past 10 years. The note was the start of the badness, I think. It prompted me, in a way, to seek another path. …

Election Season
Well, this election season, it seems like every candidate is evil or has done something wrong. Every one of their opponents have told us this, so it must be true, right? How did we get here? Wasn’t it “I Like Ike” and such in the early days of advertised elections? I don’t remember hearing so …
One Step Back to Move Ahead
This is the day that I have been dreaming about for years, really. The day that I take hold of my future and grab it, pulling for all its worth. This is the day that I decide to pursue a long-standing dream, ditch the golden handcuffs I’ve been wearing for a long time, and move …
Page 4, Year 1, 4:04pm
Today is the anniversary of the second-best day of my entire life. Last year at this very moment, I was crying my eyes out. I cried for 2 solid hours, just about. The dream, realized, yet unreal, had come true.Today, I set my alarm for 4pm. I worked this morning, being a lawyer, for a …
Dealing with Grief
Grief. It’s a bad bed fellow. Not for the faint of heart. Not for the weak. It strikes at the most inopportune times and comes like a thief in the night. I sometimes find myself, even now, grieving. Someone close to me told me that, if I didn’t take time to grieve back then, that …
Confessions of a Catalog Shopper
We just moved into a new house about two months ago. It’s taken some getting used to. New sounds and smells, a new drive to work, and new places to put skillets and bowls. The latter is the hardest to remember, of course. Another thing that has taken some getting used to is the amount …
An End in the Making?
A week or so ago, I freaked some people at work out completely. Although I didn’t have as many personal items at my day job as some folks do, I did have enough to fill up two small boxes. It probably would have all fit inside one copy paper-sized box, I think. It was little …
Macbook to the Stars
I finally broke down last week and bought a new laptop. I say finally, like my old one was ancient, but actually my old one was only about a year old. It was my daughter’s that was ancient - like about 12 years old. So, it was the lesser of two evils to buy myself …
Breaking
For some people the breaking point comes at a good time in their lives. Sometimes it is at the worst possible time. Sometimes the time is just a blasé in between time that is neither good not bad. I think I'm probably in the latter time period, personally. I have nothing big going on, we …
Been There, Unfortunately
I heard the news today. I was very sad. One of my childhood heroes, the funniest person on the planet, and a hell of a good actor, died of an apparent suicide, due to his ongoing issues with depression. A nasty little beast, depression. It takes your mind and makes it into something you don’t …
