Zen and the Art of Frustration
I don’t know if there’s anything more frustrating than wrestling with technology. Okay, maybe wrestling with technology while blindfolded, with my hands tied behind my back. I guess that would be worse? But dealing with technological glitches with eyes open and hands...
Why Do Old Souls Suffer From Low Self-Esteem?
I’ve heard it mentioned more than once that older souls often suffer from low self-esteem. But I’ve never heard it explained why that is. After pondering this question over time, I’ve come up with a theory. (And by “I,” I mean me and my wife Melissa. She helped me...

The Thing About Days Is There’s Usually Another One
I recently had a doozy of a day. And I don’t mean doozy like it was nifty. Or fun. Or even slightly adequate. At first, things seemed to be going well enough. I woke up. I was breathing. But I was tired. I woke up earlier than I wanted to, so it felt like I was...
My Encounter With the Smiling and Waving Guru
I like to think of myself as a kind person. Not super kind. Like, I’m not going to be going too far out of my way to help those in need. I’m not hopping on board planes to deliver supplies to the latest casualties of global warming. I’m not inviting unhoused folks to...
A Good Mistake to Make When You’re First Setting Boundaries
I’m a big fan of boundaries. They’ve been a lifesaver for me. That’s not to say it’s easy to set them. It’s still hard for me to set boundaries, even after years of planting those suckers all over the place. In spite of the difficulty of setting them, I like to think...
