I want to tell you about Max. Max is my dog. He is 7 years old, a chihuahua and dachshund mix (more commonly referred to as a chiweenie). And he is my best friend. I have been fairly open about my Depression and anxiety. Max has helped me through all of it for the last … Continue reading My Best Friend
Update From The Road
I am traveling this week, but I wanted to share a little with you. Enjoy these images from a wonderful trip. I will be back next Wednesday with a regular post. Fire escapes are plentiful in the Alphabet District. This one particularly grabbed my attention. One of our favorite buildings in the Alphabet District. Mixed … Continue reading Update From The Road
On The Road…Part 1
The countdown has started. I am currently five days away from my second big trip this year. We are headed back to Portland for a few days, and then up to Washington State, for a friend's wedding. Excitement doesn't even begin to describe it. Just about the only part I'm not excited for is the … Continue reading On The Road…Part 1
I’m not sure there’s a way to spell, “Arghngh!”
“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.” ― Allen Saunders I was thinking about the people I know today. All of us have these silly little plans and ideas about how to make life go. We decide on a route for our lives, and then watch as it all falls apart … Continue reading I’m not sure there’s a way to spell, “Arghngh!”
Return
It's been a rough month. Not in any big way, but in a million little small ones. I have been fighting with my depression, like spinning with a pail full of water; if I slow down my rotation, the water will come spilling out. I have felt the pull of depression a lot the last … Continue reading Return

I have had an outlet for story ideas, for travels, and for things I just wanted to talk about. I have had a place to say that I feel sad, but that it's … Continue reading Happy Anniversary!

We love our animals, and we love movies. Our families and friends have our love and affection. We shower significant people with our love, or they … Continue reading #Love
Sunday Funday
At the beginning of February I set a goal for myself; to post an additional entry on Sundays. I have, for the most part, been able to do just that. I've written a couple of times about the other projects that I have been working on, and those continue to grow. So for now, it is … Continue reading Sunday Funday
Fear & Loathing in Brussels
It has happened again; four months after the attacks in Paris, three years after Boston, 11 years after London, almost 15 after New York, in a peaceful little country called Brussels, the hateful face of humanity has peered back at us. We have been attacked in the peaceful moments of our day: going to work, … Continue reading Fear & Loathing in Brussels
Portland
As I mentioned on Sunday I just returned from Portland, Oregon. If you have never been, I cannot recommend the city enough. I have been to Seattle, and to San Francisco, and to Los Angeles and San Diego. Portland easily tops all of those. It is up on the list of favorite cities with New … Continue reading Portland
