Vibes and Scribes

“Does anybody know what time it is, does anybody really care?” – Chicago I love that song by Chicago – the music, the lyrics, the arrangement, just a really great pop song, the kind you really don’t hear anymore. I remember first hearing it in regular rotation on NYC’s WABC-AM, with DJ Cousin Brucey! LOL. […]

There is an old saying, that I pretty much wholeheartedly subscribe to: “Failing to plan means planning to fail, so plan the work and work the plan” Planning, to me, is not a difficult task at all, I do it well, frankly. Working the plan, that last part, in the midst of unforseen (and sometimes […]

Life is a sport, make it count. Happy 7th birthday to the NikeFuel Band. I won’t wax poetically about this fitness tracker because I’ve provided a number of previous blog posts I’ve done that go into depth about my relationship with it. Breaking with the one-photo-a-day approach, I’ve included a few of my favorite video […]

“….Adele got a flip phone…” Greetings all… I’m a bit of a gadget monger. While I don’t keep every bit of outdated, dead tech (I’m about to throw some on eBay and Craigslist though), I have kept a few devices. Kept not only for nostalgia, but good memories of using them as my tech journey […]

“There ‘s an app for that.” I started seriously, or maybe I should say consistently, going to the gym in my very late 20’s…(yeah, yeah, there have been a FEW hiatuses, but that’s not what this post is about,😂)…long before the iPhone or any wearable fitness tracker was even in existence. It was then that […]

In remembrance. I’m not one to post very personal things to social media, I’m just not – never have been/never will be, for reasons I need not get into here. In this case I will make an exception. Today marks two years since my father passed away. I have very fond memories of him, and […]

“Things that make you go hmmmm…” Greetings readers…. As I was writing checks to mail some bills to be paid (yes I still write checks AND use the USPS to pay bills🤣), I saw, what I’ve seen since I’ve been paying bills, on the back of this envelope below… For some reason, for the first […]

Greetings all… Well, winter is well underway, complete with associated temperatures in many places. For those experiencing those temps, are you ready for summer yet? The pic below was taken from my driveway almost three years ago to the day. For a cold day, it was a really nice sunset that caught my eye as […]

“Get away, let’s leave today, let’s get away! Let’s leave today, let’s get away Let’s get away! Let’s leave today, let’s get away” ThIs is the lyrical hook to Earth, Wind & Fire’s smash 1977 hit “Getaway”, the essence of something I think about all too often but hardly get a chance to do, or […]

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road” – Jack Kerouac, On The Road Greetings all. In my 30 years of working as a professional, there was only a span of two years where I didn’t drive to work. That span of time, 1988 to 1990, was when first […]
