I’ve been on vacation for the last couple days. It was like one of those hedonistic cruises without the boat. We ate, drank and were very, very merry. It took all day yesterday laying on my couch for my booze soaked synapses to dry up. Last night circa 11pm, after 24 alcohol-free hours, my mind ...

To the top of Mt. Baldy
As often as I’ve been in this part of Michigan, I’ve never climbed the stairs at Mt. Baldy. 282 stairs to be precise. The feat is rated as the #1 Saugatuck attraction by Trip Advisor. At the top of the stairs, the panoramic view is of the Kalamazoo River, Lake Michigan, sand dunes, and the ...

Hello summer! I missed you!
After a 70 hour work week with cash in my pocket, I like to hit the road. Steve invited me to a house party in Douglas, Michigan; White Pines. His place is like Barbie’s Dream House. The outside is perfectly manicured. The inside is exquisitely decorated. I remember I was here before I was ever ...

Triple double

Things I refuse to be too old for…
43 degrees on May 16th sucks. We bought Cubs tickets for yesterday afternoon. I believed mid-May would have cleared the sleet and snow. I imagined myself coatless, drinking beer in the sunshine. I trusted that we had endured enough crap weather this winter that May would bring flowers… mega bouquets of them. NAH! On Thursday, ...

Hold my hand, Louis!
I'm falling in love with Louis CK. I mean I thought he was cute when he dated Leslie Knope on Parks & Rec. I liked when he bested Bradley Cooper in "American Hustle." And now he is trending for a seven minute exchange on dating fat women. I believe my life unfolds in sequential order through Divine intervention. ...

I’m Waiting…
This week (actually for the last 2 weeks) in my “How to train a wild elephant” had me focusing on waiting. The challenge encouraged me to use unexpected speed bumps as opportunities to meditate. When I was waiting on something or someone, I was to use the time to be still, be centered, be mindful. ...
