Morning Coffee: A Good Rain
Rain rain go away, come again another day. No! Rain, you can stay. There’s a plenty to appreciate about a good drizzle, and my enjoyment of a good rain storm is something that’s evolved throughout my lifetime, mostly without me realizing.

Morning Coffee: Wrap Construction
Not all wraps are created equal. I prefer a wrap that is going to stay together down to the final few bites. I also hate when wraps lose their insides because there’s no structure. Fortunately, this is not something that was even a bugaboo to me until recently. But now, I’ve walked through the door…

Morning Coffee: From (The TV Show)
After discovering the show From last year, I made quick work of the first three seasons. With season 4 now in the books, there are just as many questions as before, if not more. The situation for the town’s inhabitants is as dire as ever. Yet, did season 4 actually do anything?

Morning Coffee: The Dentist
When did going to the dentist get so complicated? Ridiculous scheduling horizon, long appointments, and a change in standards seemed to come about quickly, but now they’re here to stay.

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
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
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…
