Kick Monday’s Ass: right in the freaking feels (April 18, 2022)

It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… This weekend the world lost someone pretty wonderful, my friend Mary Gilkerson. We haven’t been friends very long in the scheme of things, but even that brief window was enough to let me know I’d found a kindred spirit… someone I aspire to be like if and when I…

Sunrise at Mesa Verde

At first when I sat down to write this, I was noodling with the idea of transitions, and how they can be difficult but beautiful. And then I decided to just post the damn pictures. Maybe I’ll be poignant later, but for now… my trip to Mesa Verde National Park. Someone recommended this to me…
