Apathy Inaction

Last night after dropping my daughter’s friend off I nearly got us (at least myself) killed. My foot slipped off the gas pedal as I pulled out into the busy street and I just sat there watching the headlights of a car speeding toward me. I had no response; just sat there numb and didn’t care if I did or didn’t get hit. I didn’t care if I’d die or didn’t die.

Synaptic Erosion

Last night my sister-in-law, my daughter and I went to see the movie Blind Side with Sandra Bullock. We have been going to dinner and the movies together once a year as a tradition (it’s usually the only time my mother-in-law gets to the movies, but she was making sausages last night and said she stunk too badly!).

Pomp-ass

I started writing a blog called Boys & Dogs; in it I was extolling the virtue of reflecting on one's own thoughts and behaviors via her polar opposites--with gender being the most obvious. And while this process is authentic and true for me, as I wrote I began to feel pompous. You know the reaction we get toward pompous people: "AH, blow it out your ass!"

Inspiration Comes

I am up early and decide to go watch the sunrise at the Quabbin Reservoir. It's been a long time since I've done this and I am feeling good, remembering how inspiring it is to watch the sun come up, as I jump in the car and drive the short two miles to the beautiful old rock wall on Route 202.

Returning from a Retreat

Monday morning, checking out Facebook I notice I’m not the only one returning from something refreshing. Many friends have taken a last chance vacation to another state—literally and figuratively. Some have gone to Dance Camp and, like me, are posing the question:

Chewing on an Idea

Follow with me, if you will, a stream of consciousness. As I sat on the couch chewing on a business development idea, with our dog Shaggy at my feet, I noticed that the house was quiet.

Embellishment

So I’m again in Boston walking out of an energy efficiency meeting and, rounding the corner, I notice my car is missing!

Game Guy

I was on my way into Boston for the fourth time in 2 weeks, this time I’d stayed overnight at my sister’s house and was taking the train in. This is unusual for me since the train doesn’t come up to my part of the state, but that’s another (long) story…

My First Million

Nearly 3 years ago around 2 am I woke with a crazy urge to count how many words I have actually journaled over the years. After 5 hours of this tedium as most of my journals are paper based, and after coming up with the scheme of estimating each line with 12 words multiplied by the number of lines on a page times the number of pages in each journal, I came up with 609,000 words.

Subversive On Purpose

This blog could be called “getting kicked around”, “being resilient”, or “it’s about damn time”. All three of these sentiments illustrate a current professional state of mind given the past few years of work in the business banking arena (my other, salary-based work). I have no doubt that I’m not alone in experiencing often severe trials and tribulations over being in a corporate box. Don’t think too much outside the box or you’ll create waves and get yourself labeled AGGRESSIVE.
