City Park Philosophers

The other day walking through City Park, I ran into a woman who was telling me that she accentuates the positive and that helps her to really enjoy life. I ran into another park friend this morning who said he has found in life that you always have to make decisions and sometimes you make the right ones and sometimes you make the wrong ones, but that you just have to keep making the decisions…

My Life PlayList

I was running in City Park this morning with the dogs, I had gotten out the door later than I wanted to but had at least taken the time to meditate this morning before I was off to the races. I got right to the point where the bridges cross over to the old casino and saw the plein air painters setting up and just behind them was sunlight that bathed the tops of the…

Fear is raef spelled backwards

I’m simply amazed at how fear grabs people and throws them down on the ground and occasionally takes a few unnecessary kicks. People, listen up, our job is to silence the gremlins, to keep them at bay, and to take a deep breath and forge ahead. Consider yourself a GREMLIN SLAYER. Then again most of us grow very weary after battling the gremlins, especially on days when they have taken you into the street, down…

Uncanny

October 12, 2011 Taurus (4/20-5/20)   Every little thing you do is magic today, so expect plenty of accolades and curtain calls. And make sure you look your best when you’re in the spotlight — investing in some new clothes is an excellent idea, but you should shop around to find the deals you deserve. Bargain-hunting will be a fun game — and it’s one that you are getting more and more skilled at! Your profile…

Mañana por la Mañana

There is a song sung by beautiful Puerto Rican women that goes like this: Mañana por la mañana llena mi casa de flores de seguro que visita la virgen de los olores In the morning, in the morning, fill your house with flowers and you can be assured you will get a visit from the virgin of scents. There you have it, nonsensical, but this morning as I was running through City Park and looking…

Shift happens

Getting out of bed early is a great thing except for that one annoying factor – the alarm. I’ve been getting up without an alarm for so long now that having re-entered the world of school and schedule is something I must say I could do without. But the truth the beginning of the day is always the best part of the day for me because you have the whole day ahead of you. Well…

One Big Love

We’ve come to the end of Season 4 of Big Love and Netflix doesn’t have Season 5 available yet on DVD. Deep breath. I guess it is fitting that this drama was written by gay writers and perhaps, Will Scheffer and Mark Olsen, had their tongue in their cheek many a time during the character and plot development. A polygamist family and all of the problems that come up as a result of a plural…

Monday is Funday

Typical of a Monday there was a long list of things to do but the entire morning got derailed before it started. The good news is I was able to get the dogs out early and take a nice walk through City Park, something that always at least sets a good tone for the rest of the day. I ran into a woman who last year was in such distress over her job she lost…

Atoned

Yom Kippur is the 24 hour period where you atone for your sins. You are supposed to enter this time by forgiving all of those who have trespassed against you and asking forgiveness from all of those you have trespassed against. It’s a tall order and I can assure you few people are able to come clean on both sides. I woke up and went upstairs before Tin was up, so that I could fast…
