30 Days of Misfit: Day 20- Plugging Away & Living Brave

Two thirds of the way through this little experiment, folks. Who’da thunk we’d make it past the 1/3rd mark? Not me, that’s for sure. Yet here we are, plugging away. Persevering, even. Yay for us! Well we’re not done yet, and if my math is right, that still leaves us with a third to go […]

30 Days of Misfit: Day 19- a rare acknowledgement of current events

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The world just keeps getting weirder. Don’t know if you’ve noticed. And it’s about to get weirder still, I fear. Maybe you have noticed that I don’t really talk about politics or other hot topic/controversial stuff here. Ever. You get enough of all that out there […]

30 Days of Misfit: Day 18- Time for a little pause

I gotta be honest. Today I don’t have much to share with you. It’s just one of those days. I hope that’s ok. We shall call this a Day of Pause. Yes, that sounds good. And speaking of Pause, come to think of it, maybe I do have something to share with you. It’s not […]

30 Days of Misfit: Day 17 -A thought on Suffering, & the progressive songwriting continues…

Ok, so I think I have a few new lines for the As Yet Unnamed Song, to throw out into the winds of the interwebs. But before I do, I heard this wonderful quote just a little while ago, and if nothing else, I want to write it out here so I don’t forget it. […]

30 days of Misfit: Day 16-Progressive Post, Songwriting Edition!

Time to kick it up yet another notch around here in Misfit Land (what are notches for, anyway, if not for kicking up?), with another Progressive Post! But not just any old Progressive Post, oh no. And you’ve probably figured out by now that I’m not talkin politics , either [[[shudder]]]. Nope. In fact, it’s […]

30 Days of Misfit: Day 15

For some reason, I’m hearing Bob Dylan in my head as I write. “You’re gonna have to serve somebody…” That could be because that’s what’s playing on Spotify right now, as I write. Yes, that might be it. 😁 But if you close your eyes, concentrate and listen intently, with your whole post-hippie heart, I […]

30 days of Misfit: Day 14

Monday, Monday- can’t trust that day. Poor Mondays. I think they get a bad rap. All that dread and anxiety building up to it over the weekend… it never stood a chance. I do get it, though. Monday means the dream mini vacay, and all the sleeping in and lolligagging is over. Not to mention […]

30 days of Misfit: Day 13

It’s Sunday night, and I’m in reflection mode, watching Columbo. I love everything about this nearly 50 year old show. Here we have Lieutenant Columbo: Disheveled. Wrinkled trench coat. (Tonight’s episode a nun at the Soup Kitchen mistook him for a homeless man). Absentminded. Socially awkward. Ingratiatingly irritating. And brilliant. Always a step ahead. Always. […]

30 days of Misfit: Day 12

It’s random photo time! This is from Acadia National Park. And yes, it’s random. But it makes me go “ahhhhh” inside. So I thought it was worth sharing. What makes you go “ahhhh”? Maybe you should share it somewhere. Maybe it’ll make someone else go “ahhhh”. Cause really, who doesn’t need a little more “ahhhhh” […]

30 Days of Misfit: Day 11- A Sober Anniversary

Nineteen years ago How’s that even possible? It was yesterday
