I have only one more day on my current project and I am so glad it is almost over but it makes me sad that we did not finish developing the entire solution. I loved the work, I enjoyed working with my client as I appreciate that he is as passionate as I am about …

I Hear You Knocking
I suspect that I have suffered from anxiety for most of my life but I just did not have a name for it. When I moved from a tiny little town in rural Tennessee to Los Angeles in the 80's I was diagnosed with asthma because when I would drive on the motorways I …
Fire and Rock
In a recent blog I mentioned the two old farts who sit near me at my current client who were reminiscing over 'the good old days' and now I am starting to be aware of all of their ridiculous conversations. It doesn't help that Old Fart #1 has a voice identical to Kermit the Frog. …

Rolling into the Chaos
Life has been building up to the Chaos of Christmas. The joys of the holidays have not been a deterrent to the criminals in the bay however. Or maybe the holidays were the impetus? The need for festive cash? Or maybe there are some humans who are nasty year round as there was an attack …
Hummingbirds & Sand Dunes
We had a bit of a break from rain over this past weekend but it has started again on and off as we roll into the work week. As much as we need the rain to top up our thirsty drought ridden dams, it was nice to see a bit of blue sky when I …
The Fear of Loneliness
The fear of loneliness can be a motivator behind many decisions made by some people. Irrational sometimes to outsiders, these decisions can result in constraints to the lives of some and heartbreak to others. People settle for people they do not love, or stay in relationships with people they do not love rather than risk …
