2021. We made it! Looking back at 2021, I was debating over whether or not to write a recap of my year, and then I thought, what the hell am I going to recap? Okay, there might be a couple of things. While much of 2021 was an extension of 2020, there were some vastly…

Or So I Thought
Even before arriving at Javelina Jundred last October, I knew that once it was over, I wasn’t signing up for any races in 2021, even if Javelina was the only in-person race I had in 2020. Last year, I had the Aravaipa Strong, and then I signed up for the Great Virtual Race Across…
Listening to the Tiny Voice
Hi friends! It’s the first day of a new month and did you remember to say “Rabbit Rabbit” or “White Rabbit” upon waking? If you’re not familiar with this superstition, it’s believed that if you say “Rabbit Rabbit” (or a similar version), as the first thing you say out loud upon waking up on…

It Was Just A Dream
Most of the time I never remember my dreams, and most of the time I wish I did, especially the dreams in which I’ve written a good song. That was a good one! How did that melody go again? Now and then, I get some weird vivid dreams that come out of nowhere and…

At first, I was thinking about writing a 2019 Year in Review and reflecting on what happened, what didn’t happen, what I learned, and so forth, but my heart wasn’t in it. I wasn’t up to looking back and revisiting all that I’ve felt and experienced throughout the year. However, if I were to write…
Dear Dad,
Dear Dad, I struggled to write this post because it’s Father’s Day weekend and you’re not here. It’s difficult knowing we would’ve been going to the Dodgers game on Saturday because that’s what we did. If the Dodgers were in town during Father’s Day weekend, we’d go see them and get the best seats we…
