    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

    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…

    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…

  • 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…
