The Transpac Race, 2023, is over. Out of five boats starting, in our class, only two of us finished the race. We were a crew of unexperienced people, none of us had ever sailed in the Transpac or to Hawaii from California. We made it there in Sixteen days, twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes and thirty-four…
In A Perfect World
I have so much to be grateful for… My brother made it into port seconds before their goal would have been missed. I’ve got another step closer to launching The Curtain Theatre podcast. My Wrinkled Mess Club shirt arrived today. But what am I really grateful for? That GWAR is on Tiny Desk Concerts!! Pa-Lease!!…
I have arrived!!!
I hope that the title is correct and I am sitting in Honolulu drinking a Mai Tai. I hope that the hotel room that I booked several weeks ago is still available, I told them I may be a day or two late. Today I am grateful for the wonderful opportunity and learning experience of…
A Perfect Day
I am grateful for the time I spent with Habibi today. I am grateful Imagine Too, the boat my brother is crewing on, is close to Hawaii. I am grateful for the food I have to eat, the bed I sleep in, and the communication I share with Jonah. I am grateful for the great…
Must be close, now.
I don’t know where I currently am, some where in the Pacific, that I know. Some beautiful sunrises and sunsets, I am sure. I am very grateful for all of God’s great gifts and blessings.
Not Your Normal Post
I could write about the men’s group I was encouraged to attend this evening. I came in to it thinking I was wasting my time; “what a joke”. I finished it a batter man. I could write about the awesome show I saw yesterday with my brother-in-law at Stern Grove. I could write about the…
Not Happening
This evening I am supposed to be in a board of directors meeting, but since I am still out on the Pacific Ocean, sailing a forty-five foot sailboat to Hawaii, that is not going to happen today. I am very grateful for my opportunities, my health and my freedom of choice. I chose to be…
All the World’s a Stage
It is a lot of work from everybody involved. I am grateful to be one of those people. See Romeo + Juliet this summer in Mill Valley… always free. But I’d pay to see it.
Let Freedom Ring!
Today we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence here in the United States of America. Even though I believe that some of our fore-fathers would be rolling in their graves if the saw our government now, they way our politicians act, I am still very grateful to be living in the United States…
One Day. At A Time.
My head hurts a bit. A festering has been opened and the airing out and cleaning up has begun. I am grateful for that. It is healthy. Hard as it is — it is something that will need to be faced eventually. I choose to lean in to the hard stuff; at least I think…
Post Haste
The title just reminded me of my mother; she used to tell us children to do something, that she wanted done, “post hast”. I miss both of my parents very much. On with the post. Today I am somewhere out on the Pacific Ocean between California and the Hawaiian Islands. I do not have access…
