Long Hops and short stops

In the early 70’s as the counter cultural movement took to the streets the first wave of artists built shows from scratch. We had no templates to work from. By the early 80’s that was over. Acts arrived at venues derived from the first wave shows of the late 60’s to early 70’s. We felt […]

Total Displacement of Your Fate

I sailed into an unexpected robust 29 knot steady wind Saturday in San Francisco. By October the autumn pattern has taken hold and with it lighter winds. My wife and I sailed with another couple departing from the Sausalito Yacht Club. The gentleman owns a Hinkley 43. It displaces 25,000 lbs according to the numbers […]

Water Wonder Dog World

Lacey is a good dog. I tell her that. I say, “Lacey you are a good dog.” She’s deaf now. Can’t hear me, didn’t listen when she could unless I said, “Where’s the ball?” Then she heard me! She’s 14 years old now and sinks like a stone. She doesn’t have the energy to […]

The Way an Oak Tree Changes What I Know

Bound to Change

You’ll find the world is set up to be unpredictable even if you are adamant about insisting things remain the same. Keep the old cell phone, buy season tickets to the favorite team, don’t trade in the old car, you’re playing the way you like, close, keeping things just the way things ought to be. […]

The More Things of Change…

I loved long playing albums. My first purchase was Highway 61 Revisited. I loved my 8 track stereo player in my 1939 Chevrolet Businessman’s Coupe. I enjoyed my cassette player in my 1967 Ford pickup. I dig my CD player in my Toyota. I dig my stereo aboard my sailboat where it allows me to […]

The Quite Changable Hidden Love Life

Married and monogamous is one status. Single, sexually active, dating more than one person a second possible circumstance you face in life. You are young and inexperienced, you are older experienced but perhaps due to age lack the opportunities you once enjoyed.
