  • Morning Coffee: Happy Birthday, American

    Morning Coffee: Happy Birthday, American

    250 is a massive milestone for our infant nation. While the United States is already great, there’s room to be better. July 4th is the time to put aside political differences and divisive rhetoric and instead celebrate the things we are lucky to have and how fortunate the United States is to even exist given…

  • Morning Coffee: Road Trips

    Morning Coffee: Road Trips

    I love a good road trip. As a kid, it meant quality time with my Game Boy. Today, road trips are not the same, but they still afford the opportunity for connection, peace, and fun.

  • Morning Coffee: Trouble with K-Cups

    Morning Coffee: Trouble with K-Cups

    I spent half a decade using K-Cups without an issue, but now, it feels like they’re out to get me. Between explosions and superfluous grounds, I can’t figure out if I’m using K-Cups wrong or they’re just bad news.

  • Morning Coffee: Youth Soccer and The World Cup

    Morning Coffee: Youth Soccer and The World Cup

    As a youth sports parent, I watch more than my share of soccer. While there have been plenty of snoozers, there are also intense matches. That’s impressive too, because they ultimately don’t mean anything. Given how into youth soccer I can get, you better believe the World Cup is proving to be an entertainment buffet.

  • The Dream of a Peaceful Morning

    The Dream of a Peaceful Morning

    At the lake house, I stand on the porch and drink my coffee as the morning mists hang above the water. This quiet solitude leads to unlocking the creative flow that drives the creation of magnificent written works. That is the dream – writing, the creation and sharing of imaginative thought, is the dream at…

    Debugging Life

    I need the key to see life’s cause-and-effect. Why do life events play out the way they do? Is there anything we can ultimately control? What if…

  • Saturday Morning Cinema – Cabaret

    Saturday Morning Cinema – Cabaret

    Cabaret is a musical, but it does not play out like a musical. With complext emotional themes and an inherent darkness, Cabaret is a surprising watch and a worthy entry on AFI’s all-time list.

  • Backlog BBQ: Ghost of Tsushima

    Backlog BBQ: Ghost of Tsushima

    I bought Ghost of Tsushima for the PS4. I eventually played Ghost of Tsushima on the PS5. Join me on my journey to cross another title from my gaming backlog.

  • What’s Your Angle?

    What’s Your Angle?

    Age is not important, but your angle is. Standing at 90 degrees? You’ve got a bright future. Below 45? You should get your affairs in order. And surprise, the angle you wake up with is not necessarily the one you’ll have at day’s end.

  • A Life Evolved

    A Life Evolved

    As another birthday comes and goes, beyond being thankful to have another year to mark and possessing the relative good health of an elder Millennial whose knees abhor squatting and who reflexively grunts when bending over, I found myself contemplative of where life had taken me and how I now viewed the myriad events of…
