Blank Walls, Cleaning, and Cleansing


Beers for the buds. 

Towels and blankets. 

Goodwill trips. 

When was the last time you used that Openfly vegetable corer tool anyway? 

Yup...it's time to move again. 

The stroll down memory lane is part nostalgic, part closure, and part life-loofah. 

We've all been there.  What was familiar, isn't anymore.  What was home, is just an address. Even your Google Maps are confused. 

Exhilarating, exhausting, exhaling. 

Door closing...door opening kind of stuff. 

It's change, baby.  Roll with it. Onto the next step. 

As Alan Watts once said...

 "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance."

May I have this dance? 


PS; It sure does help coaching football.  Players and coaches usually know how to move!

What'll You Have?


One part therapist. 

One part advisor. 

One part chemist. 

One part best friend. 

All the parts add up to constitute your local barkeep. 

Truth be told, a good bartender makes the bar.  

I've spent time on both sides of the bar in my life and I've come up with the perfect concoction for what makes the best mixologist. 

  • Good listener
  • Smart 
  • Attentive
And for F-sake...read the room.  

There are times when one needs to be alone to read, work, or contemplate life while peering into the depths of his whisky.  And, then there are times when companionship, advice, and fellowship are required.  

Here's a tip...hone that Spidey sense of what is needed and when.  More tips will follow. 

What'll you have?
