This is an addition to my toilings and manifestos of 2019. After decades of working and living at night, and completely discarding the morning, I have in recent years become what I always dreaded: a daywalker. I am very conflicted about this. First, and foremost, I longer work in aContinue Reading
The list that Kimberly sent was something she picked up on Instagram. Being no user of Instagram myself, I was not privy to the exact rules. She simply sent me the list of daily prompts. Admittedly, as I eager jumped to the challenge, I did not read through the listContinue Reading
It’s January 2023 because it’s always been January 2023. I’m tucked away in our little house in old town Longmont. I want to while away these cold winter days. I’ve got a half assigned, if not totally arbitrary reading list. I want to reread all these Richard Brautigan books. AtContinue Reading

Waiter Detox Day 7 It’s been a week. And I feel great. What’s really amazing is how much mental space has been freed up in a mere seven days. When I think of the nature of being a waiter, I don’t really find it as stressful as many people do.Continue Reading
