I am grateful for a wonderful evening, family gathered together to celebrate Bodhi’s seventeenth birthday. Wonderful people. Wonderful food. Wonder full birthday…

I am grateful for the guest Marc and I recorded with this morning for Moped Outlaws episode #80. No! I ain’t telling you who it is… it goes live next Monday. And I am grateful for the Netflix series: Half Bad: The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself. It is hitting just right right now……

Today I drove with Grace down to San Diego to the Training Resources Maritime Institute.  The purpose of this trip was to spend half of a day training how to put fires out on a ship, in tight spaces.  Decked out in Fire Turnout Suits with breathing apparatus’ strapped to my back, I followed my…

Tonight I am grateful for the conversation I had with my daughter. I appreciate greatly her openness; her trust. …and – I ask for strength. Because sometimes, I sleep where the sun don’t ever shine.

With all of the World Cup Hype that is going on, I almost forgot that I needed to reregister with the United States Soccer Federation as a referee.  This is something that has to be done every year; a background check and completing a series of written/online tests and depending on your level of officiating,…

I may wait just to mess with my brother.  If I don’t get this posted by mid-night tonight, I will owe him five dollars; so if this was April Fools Day rather than Thanksgiving Day, I may wait until 23:58 tonight to post this blog. Today is Thanksgiving Day, here in the United States.  I…

Well… things change. I checked last week, and I’m sooo sure that EO was playing tonight in San Rafael. I was wrong; obviously — because it’s not. So, I am grateful for the person able to pivot that I had planned to see EO with. I am grateful for the friends and family I will…

I am grateful for all the deep relationships I have in my life. I am grateful for the opportunities to let people know how important they are to me. I am grateful I have some more time left to right some wrongs, sing some songs, and tag along with all you beautiful people.
