Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. John Lennon said it. There’s a bunch of truth there, I’d say. In my experience, anyway. Making plans. Making plans. So many people run around making plans. Making it hard to avoid being placed [or displaced, depending] into their plans. And while, sure, some … More busy making other plans
There are days when I wake up and can hardly imagine getting out of my bed. Small exaggeration, yes. But I don’t want to get up. A slight headache. The knowledge it’s going to be a long day. Probably won’t be done until 8pm. Which for some people is normal but for me it seems late. … More nearly perfect
I spent over three hours this morning in a gym watching kids play basketball. It made me think of my dad. Teacher. Coach. Man who can remember who shot what. Assists. Who’s good. Who needs to works on what. Made me remember him driving boys home. After practices. All the boys yelling… “hey Mr. Glenn”. … More random basketball thoughts

They made the top ten. Only a moment. Brevity. But it happened. I went to the Red River Gorge on Sunday. … More highlight reel

I heard Here Comes the Sun Friday morning. The first song played, 9am sharp, when Rock & Roots on WUKY began. Apropos I suppose since it was an overcast, somewhat rainy morning. I began crying during the intro. Why? Yes, I know it’s a happy song. So why? I’m not completely sure, but a mini … More sun, moon and stars
I look around, sometimes, and realize the surroundings are not correct. I inventory my thoughts and come to the conclusion whatever happened then is insignificant. Then as in one particular moment and then as in years and years combined. Insignificant in that I cannot, in any way, alter the happenings. Not insignificant in the measurement … More all which lingers
The last few years I’ve picked a word. My word of the year. My word for 2017? First of all, thanks for asking. Second of all, I have two. Words. Because I’m not good at decision making and because they’re both applicable, in differing ways. One of my words is plucky. Here are some synonyms: … More listful
I was with three girls yesterday. Two are in middle school, one in high school. It was a snow day, so they were bored and wanted to get out. Honored they’d pick me to spend time with [hey, I’m old!], I picked them up for a late lunch. We chatted along….music, school, what they received … More lipstick
