Ah, the community has rallied around my ill friend, Walt. Pancreatic cancer is eating away at his appetite.
Well, how do we stimulate his appetite? went the query.
Any child of the marijuana era knew that answer.
The call went out: found Walt weed.
Brownies with grass were...

My co-worker is warping under the job's pressure. It's painful to witness. I keep reassuring him that he's doing great, that he needs to relax some and let go.
He knows that on the intellectual level. Accepting it emotionally is challenging. Letting go of these matters...

2013 is making a name for itself in my life with things happening. It's a fast paced year, Seabiscuit breaking out of the final turn and pulling away.
Such a fast paced year with so much happening already has tossed me. I feel like a leaf on a tree enduring a storm.
All of...

Sometimes when we are in town, and always on Fridays, we go to this great coffee place called Lux. It's hard to describe Lux, but it's kitschy and cool and mismatched, it all comes together and the energy is pretty special.
On Friday's they have a DJ that has a grey foo man choo. He's...

To use a few be- words, I'm feeling besieged and beleaguered, circumstances caused by others depending on me. I don't feel like the king of the castle or master of my domain.

Perhaps that's...

The Unseen Bean Video
I fell on Friday.
I've been hiking Piestewa Peak (Squaw Peak) for almost a year. I hike the summit trail and it's taken me a long time to get up to speed. When I first started my knees really hurt on the decent so I wore straps on my knees. Eventually I built up...

Weariness has returned, gnwing my joints.
It's work. Life. Stress. Frustration. Bitterness.
On demand, I am your servant. You want fed? Decisions, recommmendations, analysis? Is there a problem that must be addressed? Home, work, pets, cars, family...

A friend committed suicide.
The list was amended, another name added.
I reviewed it again, unable to stop.
Death is what is expected.
We'll all go through it.
I think the greater issue is the pain they knew before they died.

So I thought about an earlier post, Ping Pong. I...

Marriage is a tough business. Anyone that says it's not, that it's easy, is either lying to you or to themselves.
Two people, different interests, different families, backgrounds, hopes, ambitions that make it through the ridiculousness of dating to a proposal. A deal, they make...

LEARNING HOW TO COPE WHEN THINGS SEEM TO BE GOING SOUTH
I grew up in a blue-collar family; we were poor; my dad was out of work quite a bit and mom stayed at home raising seven of us. We learned at a very young age to make do, go without, and not ask for anything we knew was never going to...
