Introduction: Yes, I’ve been gone for a long time. I’ve been busy starting a new business so some things had to go on the back burner, like The Coffee Chronicles. It actually feels good to be writing a column again. I’ll be trying to do more of it...

From posts I am seeing, I imagine that many people were disappointed by other people in 2022. I am reading a knee jerk reaction, about how if we don’t have expectations, we will never be disappointed. Umm, no. It is all about a bar fight in SW Philly. A very long time...

2022 was one of the toughest years of my life. It got downright ugly. I’ll make the jokes and share the memes on Facebook because they are funny, but I’ll also look back on 2022 fondly. It was the year I was fired—twice. Completely ran out money—a few...

Or this might be a part of Let’s Get Naked About Mental Health! Anyway… I firmly decided not to have a Christmas. It was not a choice to be miserable, but just make it another day. There’s a podcast about it. In the podcast, I talk about my aversion to Christmas and...

Hello from Tijuana! Where I am literally still here. Trapped. Stranded. But really enjoying the beautiful weather. You really don’t want to know what the weather is like here. I was supposed in be in Minnesota by now, in my home, but, well, it’s a long...

No, I haven’t stopped. I have just been concentrating on other areas. So, I thought I would catch you up in case you don’t do the social media thing. First, a recent post I made on Facebook. A friend just posted this about the Phillies but I’m saving it...

Special introduction: I couldn’t sleep tonight but know exactly why. What’s the saying? “Things happen for a reason. Sometimes, the reason is because you are stupid.” I knew I shouldn’t have had that late night cup of coffee! But I did, can’t sleep, so finished up the...

Tales of the Great Water Bringer Without exception, the homeless people I met in Austin were the kindest anywhere I traveled in the US during my odyssey through Covid America. I encountered a lot of desperation, especially among the homeless people as I traveled. They...

This is the second time this has happened. It is the oddest thing. It’s a good thing, but I am not understanding it. I really couldn’t have broken my ankle at the worst time. I’ve been here since April but it was time to get moving. I like it here,...

This is difficult for me. Very difficult. I can offer help anywhere and anytime, even when I don’t have it. Asking? It makes me…ugh. I’m in a bad spot. My spirits are up, but my butt and bank account are down and I am stranded in Tijuana with a...

Episode 6 is a wrap! I think I am finally starting to get the hang of this? I remembered to plug everything in and managed it in one take. Uploading has gotten easier as well as I get my system down. There is even an “All Episodes” Page and “Support...

Five episodes in the books. I think I’m getting better at this: I didn’t like I was going to puke when I hit the “record” button. I was able to settle in quickly and not be so monotone. But it is published, uploaded and now I am trying to...

If you don’t have Facebook, you’re missing out. I know some people who get these updates, though, aren’t on Facebook so I thought I would add a few things. I’ve been hard at work on my book and podcast and they lend themselves to darker posts....

Deeper into Aloha Episode Four is a wrap! I think I am getting better at this? The only technical difficulty I ran into this time was…I forgot to plug in my headphones so had to wait an hour before for them to recharge before I could record. I even managed to...

Now had did this happen? Instead of a normal blog post, I’m seeing a podcast post thingie. Me vs my website: still a work in progress. I’m STILL searching for a title for the podcast. “Let’s Get Named About Mental Health!” ???? But this...
