I don’t know how to do this.
My father passed away this morning, in his sleep. My brother gave me the news by phone call around midday. The news somehow managed to be both surprising and expected, simultaneously. My father was not in the best of health. He’d had numerous medical issues over the past 20+ years after his retirement: hairy-cell leukemia, … Read more
The 180
I will grant you from the get-go the overdue nature of this post. But lemme explain…. First, I dropped my laptop about 2 weeks ago. When it happened, it was as if the world froze for me and I could do nothing but standby and wait while people with expertise looked at my machine and … Read more
On the women who stopped giving me the time of day
This one is for the ladies out there. You know who you are. You’re the ones I encounter on those internet dating sites, the ones who write in their profiles how much they’re looking for that “guy”, that man who is funny, intelligent, warm, passionate, compassionate, takes good care of himself, has goals in life … Read more
The Story of Us
It wasn’t until I dropped out of astronomy graduate school in 1992 that it began to dawn on me that I was an information pack-rat. Surely I had been one for many years before that, but I was blind to it because all the information I was hoarding seemed like a professional necessity and therefore … Read more
Things I’ve yet to get out of my system.
How many times now have I prefaced a post by saying, “This is something I don’t really want to write”? Probably not all that many, but it feels like a lot. If there’s any single reason I can point to as being the reason why I don’t write more here, that is it. It’s that … Read more
Jamming a stick in the spokes
Another angsty posting. But that’s just where I am right now. Have to get it out of my system I guess. I was having a good day yesterday. I had an aggro gym workout in the morning, lifting weights and cranking on the stairmaster for over 2 hours. I cleaned up, ate a light lunch, … Read more
Depression confession
This is not a blog post I wanted to write. But seeing as how I have gone another several weeks since my last posting, I think I need to address just what the hell is going on in my head. As always there is so much to summarize and seemingly so little time or space … Read more
Quiet desperation
It took nearly 2 months after I returned from South America, but I finally moved the last bit of stuff from my storage unit to my apartment. I think that means I am truly “moved-in”, so for simplicity’s sake I’ll just call it that now and move on. I had a house-warming last weekend, and … Read more
A Late Valentine’s Day Pondering
Watch this video. It will remind you of something that we forget all too easily, especially as we are absorbed in the minutia of our daily lives. It will remind you that all of us, ALL of us, are space travelers. Yeah, I know, that probably sounds goofy or new agey or something, but it … Read more
