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

30 days of Misfit: Day 10- Another Progressive Post!

8:06am I tried this out on Day Four… and as they say, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. So I’m taking their advice, and here we are, with another Progressive Post! Just in case you missed Day 4, You are most welcome to go back and read it here… But in the […]

30 Days of Misfit: Day 9- Virtual Virtue

Welp, it’s Back to School here in my neck of the woods. Yours, too, I’m sure. Back to Virtual School, that is. Cause that’s all the rage these days. Everybody’s virtually doing it. Which of course, made me want to look up the definition of “Virtual”, because that seems like a school–ish thing to do, […]

30 days of Misfit: Day 8- Naked and Unaware

Gather ‘round, my Misfit Friends, it’s Story Time. For some reason the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale “The Emperor’s New Suit” has been on my mind a LOT these days. Go figure. So I thought now would be a great time to share it with you. It’s the kind of story whose interpretation is, ironically […]
