Day 4,088: Shelves!

Day 4,088: Shelves!

I. Am. Wiped. But the shed shelves are up 😎 woohoo! They look great. It’s so much more organized in there and so much easier to get to stuff, since anything on the bottom you can just grab now rather than needing to take apart the entire pile of stuff. Oh,...

Day 4,087: Golf!

Day 4,087: Golf!

What is the greatest gift someone could give me? Time. Which isn’t practical, but that’s the first thing I thought of: more time. I feel like that’s the one thing that actually isn’t possible, so therefore it would be the greatest gift. Practically speaking?...

Day 4,086: Squawking Continues

Day 4,086: Squawking Continues

We’re five movies away from finishing Hitchcock. Wild. Tonight it was The Birds. It holds up in some ways, mostly in how influential it was on movies that followed. He did that back to back, in fact, with this one and Psycho. Pretty cool. But, yeah…home stretch, which...

Day 4,085: Time For Math

Day 4,085: Time For Math

Do I “play” in my daily life? What says “play” to me? I play constantly. Genuinely—Liz and I play games all the time. They mostly revolve around word/music games, where we make up songs or lyrics to existing songs. I guess it’s one, long improv game of yes-and. I also...

Day 4,084: White Streaks

Day 4,084: White Streaks

What are my biggest challenges? Getting up in the morning is one of them. I’m decent at it, to be clear…but it is a CHALLENGE every. Single. Day. I’m not joking about that. It’s truly a challenge. That’s a weak point for me when it comes to resistance—if I don’t get...

Day 4,083: E.R.

Day 4,083: E.R.

Happy New Year! It’s not midnight yet here on the west coast, but I’m going to bed, lol, so it’s an early well-wishes from me. I’m getting up on time tomorrow—a harbinger of the year I want, if you will. Kinda. Mostly, I just want the routine as quickly as I can get...

Day 4,082: Library Card

Day 4,082: Library Card

What relationships have a positive impact on me? Certainly my wife, my partner in all things: Liz. We are unquestionably stronger together than we are apart. My dogs are what I think of next—my constant companions, the structure to every day, even those that don’t...

Day 4,081: Sweater Weather

Day 4,081: Sweater Weather

The thing about writing over four thousand of these daily entries is that certain titles will end up being repeated. I’m sure this is one of them. It got coooolll tonight. Chilly out there. Coops is in his winter sweater, the blue and white one with the snowflakes on...

Day 4,080: Happy Pasta Day!

Day 4,080: Happy Pasta Day!

Happy Pasta Day to all who celebrate! Liz and I celebrate, that’s for damn sure…and boy did we celebrate. So, there’s this restaurant in LA now called Uovo—pretty sure they’ve been here for a while—and they have several locations. Well, I had a return to do for a pair...

Day 4,079: Sax

Day 4,079: Sax

Maaaannn…we started watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy tonight, as we are wont to do around this time of year, and…it’s so freaking good. SO good. One of those rare, once in a lifetime classics that comes along and just blows you away. That good. Now, the extended...
