Every time I think about the idea of leaving my work as a mechanic and diving into the nonprofit arena doing peace work, and spending all of my time bringing people together in love and compassion, and encouraging and inspiring people to become the best that they can be, and helping people who are struggling … Continue reading 2020-11-08 — On the Verge

Today I felt the pretty strong pull of one of my other addictions--sports news. It's been building for the last couple of days or so. I sometimes check the Utah news on ksl.com (even though I don't live in Utah anymore, and though there are plenty of things I don't much like about utah, there's … Continue reading 2020-11-07 — Mastery
2020-11-06 — Remember
You know, I think one of the hardest things in all the world for me is to remember. I learn so many things, but I forget to them. I recognize so many wonderful principles, but I forget to apply them. I am driven by my deepest desires, but so many times, those deepest desires take … Continue reading 2020-11-06 — Remember
2020-11-05 — Rough Day
Hi, folks. It's been a rough day. I made that promise to get the tax stuff done today and was all set to do it when I got a message from a customer that her brakes were leaking fluid after David did a pad job. It was both our day off today, so I ended … Continue reading 2020-11-05 — Rough Day
2020-11-04 — Getting There 🙃
Well, I didn't quite make it fully back in the saddle. I got to bed about 10, I think, so an hour late, and an hour late getting up, but inching in the right direction. It's only 8:40 right now, so maybe tonight I'll actually get fully back in the saddle. 😊 Got up, walked … Continue reading 2020-11-04 — Getting There 🙃
2020-11-03 — Back In The Saddle
So... I'm only a little late at the moment (9:15), and... given that it's election night, and typically, I'd be refreshing my screen every nanosecond or watching coverage until I knew what the outcome of the presidential race was, I think I'm doing pretty well. 😎 Got going a bit late today, at least getting … Continue reading 2020-11-03 — Back In The Saddle
2020-11-02 — Dragging
Hola, my wonderful peoples. 🙂 Not sure what my deal is today, but I've been dragging. Maybe it's that I've been off my routine for what... three days in a row now? Maybe it's that I've been working a bit more lately and have been under a bit more pressure with things being so hectic, … Continue reading 2020-11-02 — Dragging

Happy November! 😊 And happy birthday to my daddio, the big 79! I'm tired, and I'm late again. It's 10:23, but I just got finished with a fabulous conversation with my friend Cory. Deep, exciting, passionate gospel stuff--life, nature of God, purpose of life kind of stuff. So fun. So so fun. I really think … Continue reading 2020-11-01 — Mama’s Home

Happy Halloween 😊 My body is a little cold from chomping don a gazillion pieces of frozen fruit--that just barely, just slightly uncomfortably cold feeling. That feeling where you've only just noticed that you're a tad chilly, but you're not shivering, and you know you're going to get a little colder before you warm up. … Continue reading 2020-10-31 — Quite Timely
2020-10-30 — A New Record!
Holar. It be late. 11:04 p.m., and I've not been home for that long. Rolled in maybe 30-60 minutes ago and have been chatting with me mother and working on getting tomorrow figured out. There are something like 18 cars on the schedule for tomorrow. Oops. 😶 And who knows how many more will be … Continue reading 2020-10-30 — A New Record!
