Today, besides seeing some of the best Shakespeare this side of the salts in the best environment one can live in with one of the best people I know… I also partook in receiving some money for the podcast I do with my partner, Marc. I am grateful that, true to our word, we donated…

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 land on my knees While you do as you please Laughing with friends About how friendship never ends And I feel the squeeze Some fires burn From others we learn Leaving ash and soot To be stamped underfoot Shhh; my soul shouldn’t yearn Ships go sailing High seas and winds wailing There’s trouble abroad…

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…
