The Christmas Card

Today, I’m jumping in the way back machine and taking you back to the original purpose of this Blog. Starting with my very first job. When I turned 16, my parents told me that summer break was not going to be spent lounging, it was time to get a job. My Mom took me toContinue reading “The Christmas Card”

There is always HOPE

This blog started as a reflection of events during my career. It was a great way to look at events and decisions that shaped my and direct me though the challenges of my career path and life. That is how it stared anyway. As 2020 pushed us in ways we never expected, this blog paused,Continue reading “There is always HOPE”

Red flags, sometimes create opportunities

It’s unfortunate, that everyday we are faced with people trying to steal from us. Scammers make us doubt everything and everyone as they chip away at our identities and trust. So when I get an email asking if I would consent to being interviewed by the New York Times every red flag popped up. ThereContinue reading “Red flags, sometimes create opportunities”

The weirdest things happen during a pandemic

Each of us are probably dealing/struggling with our own mental heath right now. I know that during the lockdown I felt a sense of sadness. I wouldn’t say it was depression, but I would say its was not my normal state. I dont think Im alone in this new struggle. I think the lockdown revealedContinue reading “The weirdest things happen during a pandemic”

My gym reopened!

I joined a gym several years ago. It was my first serious attempt at a gym and I embraced the experience. I went for a tour of @PlanetFitness. I had recently lost weight and was hoping to consult with a personal trainer. Planet Fitness was great, a diverse group as far as age, race andContinue reading “My gym reopened!”

The Covid Connection – Getting my new truck inspected.

After the rally two weeks ago and my self imposed isolation. I was time to come back to the real world. I completed a lot of task at home while staying socially distanced. In my area, businesses that have been shut down for months are slowly starting to open. If you read previous blogs, youContinue reading “The Covid Connection – Getting my new truck inspected.”

Rally in Washington, DC – In the middle of a pandemic…you went where?

Anyone that knows me knows that I took the pandemic and the recommendations of Dr Faucci and his guidance’s pretty seriously. So how did I jump from self-isolation, to publically protesting with thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people during a pandemic? I know some of my friends are not readers, so if you wouldContinue reading “Rally in Washington, DC – In the middle of a pandemic…you went where?”

I didn’t know we were going THERE…

My blog started as a way to highlight my career as a designer and my memories along the journey. When the Coronavirus hit, my blog seemed somehow less important. I still want to get back to it, but I had so many emotions and felt so isolated that changing the path of the blog seemedContinue reading “I didn’t know we were going THERE…”

Day 100…

It’s actually only day 42, but certainly feel like day 100. I’m just going to say it, sometimes I think Americans are stupid. Not all Americans, but more then I would care to admit. Watching TV, I see large groups of protesters, probably 80% didn’t have masks and did not practice social distancing. What injusticeContinue reading “Day 100…”

Day 25…

Day 25 of self isolation. Wilson (aka my dog Bode) and I have settled on to our new normal. He seems to be handing isolation much better than I am. As long as his food bowl is full, and his nap schedule is not interrupted, he has accepted isolation with very little complaining. I struggleContinue reading “Day 25…”
