Thanksgiving

Once again, it’s that time of year … time to sit back and reflect on all that I am thankful for.

I continue to rediscover my love for the bicycle, even though my lungs continue to rebel … and I’m looking forward to my “training camp” in Arizona. I still have a good job, which [...]

No matter where you go ...

Feeling very down in the dumps today.

A number of friends going through events I can’t really help them with, as much as I want to … I recognize that some things people have to deal with in their own time, in their own manner.

I’m also feeling very isolated & alone myself, [...]

Poetry Friday

FEAR OF THE FUTURE

In the end one simply withdraws From others and time, one’s own time, Becoming an imaginary Everyman Inhabiting a few rooms, personifying The urge to tend one’s garden, A character of no strong attachments Who made nothing happen, and to whom Nothing ever actually happened—a fictitious Man whose life was [...]

Motivation (and lack thereof)

It’s a gorgeous spring afternoon … and what am I doing? I’m sitting on my couch composing this stupid blog entry about my complete and utter lack of motivation to get outside and do anything.

I think part of my malaise today comes from reading Mama Grrrlie’s most recent blog entry on turning 39. MG [...]

A Letter to a Lost Love

My dearest Sleep –

Fuck you and the horse on which you rode into my life … and right back out of my life. I asked you nicely, and you just laughed in my face.

You know how much I care about you … why must you be so elusive, playing hard to get? [...]

Sometimes, things just have to be said …

… and this is what I’ve recently had to say to the two most important women in my life.

Letter to my mom this past weekend, for her 72nd birthday:

Want to wish you the happiest of happy days today … or at least as happy as a day that coincides with the anniversary of [...]

Another thought

I posted this for someone else, but now I’m reposting it for me … because, sometimes I need the reminder, too:

Life is an endless journey, like a broad highway that extends infinitely into the distance. The mind provides a vehicle to travel on that road. The journey consists of constant ups and downs, hope [...]

A thought to ponder

Here’s a question to ponder: when you’re in your 40s, but you’d still like to be a parent someday, do you think it would be better to:

a) date someone relatively close to your same age who already has children?

or

b) date someone younger (late 20s/early 30s) who can still have children without [...]

Quote of the Day

“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” — The Olympic Creed

A quick summary to get caught up

Wow, have I been lax on posting anything original lately. As often happens, life has taken a few unexpected turns and I just haven’t really gotten around to it.

For the past several months, I was dating a really incredible woman. Unfortunately, it was a long-distance relationship and the 800 miles of separation became too [...]
