Who?
The HU.
What?
No….the HU.
Ahhhhh, that joke could go on forever…and never loses its appeal.
I heard an interview with these Mongolian rockers the other day….through an interpreter…on the radio.
Who saw the HU coming?
Not me.
Mongolian?
Cool.
I’m not sure why…but…”leaving” and “living out my dreams” sounds kind of appealing.
What a weirdo I am to have thoughts like that.
Of course, there’s a lot of that kind of thinking going around.
I got a letter from a good friend today and he expressed that kind of thought.
He’s ready to make the jump to retirement or a different career.
I can relate.
What are we all looking for?
Or…are we just aware of the time getting short to do the things we dreamed about doing when we were young?
This is a good talk from Dr. Ken Atchity.
He talks about taking chances.
Why not take a chance every once in a while?
Hmmmmm.
Damascus Road…the Razors Edge….
Man..I love a story about a change of heart…a story about the moment when a life turns from hedonistic self-direction to a life of service.
Now….I’m selfish.
I live for my family.
But…how energizing would it be to find the path that serves the world?
This guy, Scott Harrison, and the organization he founded, Charity:water, is doing what he can to bring fresh drinking water to areas of the world that need it most.
That’s really inspiring.
He is working to make a positive change in the world.
How cool is that?

You need time to do something like this.
I’m realizing that as I go to work early and get home late.
You need time.
And…you need energy.
I realize that…as I go to bed late and get up early…always tired…always looking for more time and needing more energy.
But…energy isn’t dependent on always having a bunch of free time.
You have to stay active and work…to have energy.
That’s a “no-brainer”.
Maybe I’m just imagining how energizing it would be to work at something that felt a little more self-directed than working at the Post Office.
Awwwwww…..what am I? Some sort of slave? Or….just a “responsible” adult?
I’m going to take care of my family…but maybe something like this would be better for all of us?
Who knows?
I’m too afraid to find out.
What a whiner.
Awwwwwww.
Man.
Light the stove, cook something good….go for a hike…cook something good…go to bed.
This life looks good.
And…it’s typical.
My typical day looks different than this.
Usually, I: Wake up too early….drink too much coffee…go to work….work at the PO for 10 or so hours….come home…eat….fall asleep on the couch…wake up…put one of the little guys to bed…wake up too late…go to bed…and…(in the morning)wake up too early …and….repeat.
This life looks like it’s paced a little nicer than mine.
But…what does it say about coveting something that’s a neighbor’s?
You shouldn’t even covet his ass.
That’s not a joke.
My life is good.
I sure would like to cook something nice and then go for a hike sometime, though.
Maybe…even sit in a sauna.
Even sit in a sauna.
I covet that.
Sue me.
Heard this today….
Man.
What a bunch of delicate and ferociously powerful guitar playing.
This guy was so good.
This is what genius looks like….
I love these Playing for Change videos.
I think that if you’re doing music “right”, then you’re playing from a place different than just your head.
Musicians can make a connection because they play from their spirit.
That’s beautiful.
Here’s a bunch of folks from all over the world playing one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs.
Good….Good….GOOD (!!) STUFF!!

We went to watch Frozen 2 for Sparrow’s birthday…and this was one of the trailers we watched while we waited for her movie to start.
Something to look forward to at the theater!
This is a great story….and this looks like a good version.
Buck!!
What a dog!
In our country, the house would be trashed…vandalized…torn up just because it could be…torn up.
Cool place…big job.
Bringing a place back is exciting.
We have a place that needs to be “brought back”….that I’ve “sat on” for 5 years.
So….when I rave about how rewarding and exciting it is to revive an old place, I really don’t know what I’m talking about.
It’s easy to talk.
What do the call that? “All hat”?
The house we live in was this kind of project, though.
Brought back from dereliction.
It looks cooler to bring back the Japanese house.
