A red mustang and a summer night

It was a red mustang. I think it was 1964. It was my first car. I drove it to Penn State in my sophomore year. It was a stick. It was a convertible . It was heaven. I saw it today on a street in Delray. I know it wasn’t mine but there it was. […]

Feel the day

The Crossfit workout was intense. That is the way it was built to be. Afterward, we sat having some green tea and reflecting on the morning adventure. It is not complicated really. We just want to feel the day. Feel the exhaustion. Feel that drain and then  feel the rebirth of energy. The key word […]

A wish for the day

It seems so simple. It is moments like this you wonder how we made it so complicated. It just doesn’t have to be difficult. I am sitting here, coffee in hand, looking out at the ocean as the new day begins.  Nothing complicated about it. Yet it provides everything that one can want or need. […]

Vacation day

Every time I hear her singing, no matter what I am doing, I pause and just take it all in.  But then again, it is Nina Simone. This time the song Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood came on.  Take a moment and get lost in it. That song is her cry for understanding when things […]

Even today, so long after his death, he can be found everywhere you want to find cool…or own story..or unique…or one of a kind. You know of or watched some of his movies….Bullitt, The Great Escape, […]

One more time

Of all the images I saw  at the inauguration  it was one of the last ones that lingered with me. The President was leaving the platform and then turned back to see the crowd still cheering . He stood there and said that he wanted to take a look since he would never see this […]

The quiet, part 2

The quiet seems to have hit a chord. There was a time when quiet was alive and well. There was a time when quiet was better understood. Appreciated. Respected. Cherished. Now it seems that it is just that place you have to get through to arrive at the “important, good stuff” .. Nothing could be […]

The quiet

It was early as I headed out for the morning Crossfit. As my car crossed the expansion bridge I heard some horns honking and saw a few cars cutting other cars off and everyone ,it seemed, was on a phone or texting…whether in a car or on a bike or walking on the street. It […]

Be the good news

A little good news. That’s all I was hoping for. Not a lot of good news. I wasn’t going to be greedy about it all. Just a little would do the trick. But good news seems to be a rare thing these days.  Doesn’t it seem like everything has turned into just one bad reality […]
