Day 494: Ritual
I went to a funeral today for someone who was quite an influential figure in my life, albeit in an indirect way. Don H. Clausen sold my parents their house, the one of everlasting remodel fame, and he was also a solid parental figure to both my parents. He passed away...
Day 493: Whirlwind
So, I sit writing this from the Rose Room in my parents' house up in Humboldt. Flew up tonight, landing at 11:30, and I'm here for the morning and afternoon tomorrow before driving my mom's car down to their place in Mountain View and taking a flight the next morning...
Day 492: The good fight
I fought the good fight today, I can hang my hat on that. I was focused as a motherfucker all day, and I did good work. Unfortunately, none of the lessons that I checked out managed to be easy enough to get me ahead of the curve...but I rode the curve itself, and I'm...
Day 491: Keep Reachin
Artwork tonight by Darrel K. Sweet Another grind of a work day, and another one that just seemed to fly out the window somehow without nearly as much work accomplished as was necessary. Ugh. So, tomorrow just has to be a kick ass day, that's what's up. I have a few...
Day 490: The grind
Ugh. I'm behind again. I really thought I was going to be able to pull it out last minute and late today, but it didn't happen. Things beyond my control; it was just a busy day overall. It's frustrating, but what can I do? Finally caught up, and behind again. I just...
Day 489: Clash of the Know-it-alls
Tonight's artwork is by TD-Vice Joe and I met tonight to record the first of what is hopefully a regular weekly thing for the two of us, the "Green Collar Podcast." Green Collar is the name because last season I batted around doing a regular written blog about the A's...
Day 488: Moving on
I was pretty mopey today. I even knew I was, I just couldn't really do anything about it. I was tired, a bit sad, ...and mopey. Yesterday genuinely gutted me pretty good. I have to admit I feel weird about it, getting this upset about someone I've never met. That has...
Day 487: Rest in peace Leonard Nimoy
I woke up today to Liz telling me that Leonard Nimoy had died. Literally, I was asleep, and she woke me up to tell me 🙁 It was a rough day, to be honest. I knew from how emotional I felt a few days ago when it was announced that he'd been rushed to the hospital that...
Day 486: Man Time
Tonight's artwork is from Jonh Schoenherr. I just got back from having a man hangout with a "new" friend. We went to a bar down the street, had some whiskey, put some hair on our chests, and just shot the shit. Got to know each other. Shared, and debated, and asked...
Day 485: You do you
Everything is dying right now, my iPad is actually dead so I'm thumbing this on my phone...which is also dying. The pups are curled up tight little balls right now on the bed because it's decently cold outside... Apparently we're due for some rain this weekend, which...
