Tonight, over dinner, a friend and I were discussing the lure of the ocean; the itch to sail on the waters. In his case he wants to be a Master Engineer working in the engine room on the big ships. I just want to be on any vessel out on the water. We are both…

I am grateful to be with Bodhi on a blue moon night at Berkeley’s Greek Theater watching Sylvan Esso perform…

Yesterday, Grace and I, had dinner with my Zia K. and her husband. The last time we saw them was through a screen door, during the Covid pandemic. It was great to sit down and catch up with both her and her husband. She is my aunt by marriage; meaning that she was married to…

I am grateful for the day The song, the dance, the sway It doesn’t take a lot For me to find my way Simple and easy From the moon to the ray.

Today I had the privilege of driving across two-thirds of our state.  I used Highway 99 and eventually cut over to Highway 5 in Stockton.  I stopped in Visalia, Woodland and have ended up at my sister’s house just outside of Davis.  This is a business trip and I will probably be driving back on…

I am grateful for all the touchstones in life where my siblings and I converge in perfect harmony. There are quite a few; gratefully. Crystal Cove. A consistent desire to grow. Prince. All four of us are deeply appreciative of the artist known as Prince. Yeah… I’m grateful for my siblings.

This week I have been working with a client, on a project that is going on year number six. As my partner and I sit with individuals discussing what it is that they do and how they need the “system” to work for them, I realize that I actually do know the Distribution/ Warehousing business…

When she passed, there was a gathering… all her grandchildren gathered together. And slowly, it started to come out, that each of us felt like we were her favorite. And as we spoke with each other more, it became very apparent. Her gift was just that: any individual in her presence was loved as though…

There is so much beauty all around us; and even during the uncertainty of natural and man-made disasters, like the ones in Hawaii and Ukraine, I am grateful for my belief in god. The creator has a plan, of this I am certain. I ask for guidance from him so that I may work to…
