The Cook

My grandfather told me a story once that I NEVER understood. The older I get the more I get it. This cook spent a lot of years perfecting his customer’s favorite dishes. Especially, one custom...

Incognito

From time to time, I help out a friend at a their catering job. I don’t need the money but doing something that doesn’t require my brain is liberating. Also, it’s funny to me that most of the pe...

I'm apparently changing

This week I have endured a disgruntled colleague use their keyboard to smear me. Any other time, I would have launched into them and burned them to no end. This time, I thought what if they are ...

Ahhhhh

Every now and then I am booked at a church for music. I don’t particularly care for it because it feels like they are always more demanding. Here I am just getting to bed after spending several ...

Weird Dreams

Last night I experienced more emotions in one dream than I can keep track of. I don’t think the context of what the dream was about is necessary to remember - but the emotional rollercoaster I e...

I Prefer Busy

This past week I flew across the country and managed to squeeze in a board meeting, a networking event, gave a Ted Talk with a partner, did some sightseeing, managed to do a 5 minute comedy bit ...

The Lone Loner

When I was growing up our family pretended to be tight. We went on vacations. We took time to go to the drive-in because 5 movies for 10.00 a car made much more sense than 7.00 a piece for one m...


I have to wear a few hats. When I’m on the road I am both the road manager, production manager and the band leader. Somewhere in the mix, I’m the artist. At home, I am the office manager, legal ...

Another Work Trip

My work trip yesterday and today landed me in a casino. I probably could have stretched my trip an extra day, but we have apocalyptic storms moving through our area so I thought I better get bac...

Figure it out

I believe that when things don’t go your way you can be the element of confusion or you can figure out how to make the best of it and leave a positive impression. I looked around the meeting a...

Business trip...

We are currently on a business trip (1 of 2 for this month). This one is 3 days and was supposed to be full of meeting some industry people. It turns out as soon as we were about an hour from ho...


You read that title and think someone died. Although they are alive and well it’s the part of them that is no longer with us. It sounds selfish of me to think that way. Do I get to have feelings...

Processing

It’s like the cliche - “It’s not you, it’s me!” Or is it? Maybe, it’s all involved. It’s everyone. Lately, I have gotten caught up in how political happenings have been effecting everyone ...

Roommates

There comes a point when you will feel like an ornament. You sit on the shelf and you are there because you remind someone of how they felt the day they found you. You represent a moment of happ...

Aging sux

I am getting older. It’s been a minute since my last confession er entry. I have taken on an extra job and it’s causing problems at home. But, when I work at home I’m getting criticized. I can...


I have been very conflicted lately about playing music in churches as a profession. In the South, if you don’t use your musical talent for God then you are sinning. On the other hand, I don’t see...

What Did I Win?

Last night I had the most vivid dream. I was at a conference type meeting. My wife and youngest was in the room of the hotel where the conference was held. I was in a meeting with a apparently a ...

I'm Right Here

Spent the afternoon at a family function celebrating one of my sister’s kid’s birthday. We had to pick an odd time due to scheduling but we all made it except our grandmother - she was waiting fo...

Closed and Enjoying

I’ve always heard if you hold it in it’ll find its way out eventually. Today, I had to draw a boundary in my home office - this, is the space where I work. Also, if you are working with me and I ...

A Weekend Off

Had the weekend off - which doesn’t happen much for me. Probably shouldn’t have had the weekend off at all. The more idle time I have the dumber I tend to be. I come up with ideas that no one wan...


This time of year all the local schools are busy handing out awards. The pictures posted on social media are amazing to see. I love seeing the accomplishments of the kids. Seeing how they worked ...

Direction

I am watching a series. During this series there is a person that is going thru therapy. The patient is adamant that they have moved past an episode they went thru. The therapist says something t...


I haven’t been on this platform much lately. I have been diving into my dreams and the interpretations. I have had a lot of dreams and been able to really hone into their meanings - whenever ther...

Something New

I got the opportunity this week to play drums with one of the best band’s I have ever had the opportunity to sit in with. But - I’m not a drummer. Lol I started out playing drums when I was 11 y...

Who Am I

I am searching for myself. What and who I am made of is certainly being challenged. This page is dedicated to dreams - so I’ll share a few I’ve had recently (no particular order). Music produce...


Book Description

The path my life has taken has left me with more questions than answers. I always believed that whatever you dreamed and worked hard for it would happen. At some point I woke up and the 9 year old little boy who dreamed of selling out stadiums and playing music apparently, was never born.
