It’s completely true: we live in a subscription society. At the first of every year it seems I’ve collected a million and one subscriptions. Newspapers and magazines started it all. But now, now we can subscribe to a meal service that delivers all the ingredients to your front door for you to cook up supper…

An {again} seeker like me chases {re} words, the agains of rest, and repeat events that make life interesting.

This is not a political post. Sorry, not sorry. Yet, tonight I felt like writing my senators to express my opinion about something. I felt I needed to act. I used Resitbot. It’s a free service that allows us citizens direct access to our elected officials. From my phone, I text 50409. It wakes up…

January seems to find the gym packed to the max. That wait for the lat pull down machine seems to be 10 times longer than usual. The yoga class is filled to capacity. The grocery produce aisle is bumper to bumper. It’s because everyone is resuming. Whether it’s eating healthier or losing weight or getting…

It’s nothing but a heartache. To see people take lies for truth and truth for lies. Do wrong instead of right. Choose to hate instead of love. Nothing but a heartache. These are the things you must do: Speak the truth, each of you, to one another. Practice true and righteous judgment in your courts. 1Do…

The Again in {Re}st
Today is Epiphany. It’s also the first Sunday of 2019. I was totally wiped out last night. I slept harder and rested better than I have in a while. It was good to be home. Perhaps this day spent binge-watching television shows in my pajamas was what I needed to gear up for the first…

I spent the day returning to Dallas from my home town. While it’s been said, “Oklahoma dirt roads are good for the soul,” a slushy snow melt means I brought a good portion of the good stuff home. My mom came with me. She’s recovering from a knee replacement surgery and doing quite well. After…

A good journalist values the sacred trust of her confidential sources. Some journalists are even sent to jail for refusing to reveal said sources. I’m not a journalist. And, nothing I’m about to tell you is confidential. I’m a blogger, and I want to reveal some of my resources. Especially the ones I’m most likely…

{Re}phrase
Just. Great. Busy. Empty words that don’t really mean anything. They’re almost worse than “you know” and “like.” Words like these need to be eliminated from my vocabulary. I think the word that bugs me the most is “busy.” As in, “I cannot have lunch with you because I’m so busy.” When I find myself…

{Re}view
Literally, to see again. And, since 2018 is now firmly in the rear view mirror, I’m taking a peek back at a couple of goals and sharing where I am now. In 2017, Keck and I went on a cruise and tried something called “snuba” a low-depth cross between scuba diving and snorkeling. We learned…

365 Again Words: {Re}start
In September 2018, I heard Noah Scalin speak on the Art of Innovation. To challenge his ability to perpetually create and to make a practice of doing innovation every day, Noah set about creating skull-a-day designed from found objects and published them immediately. I thought: If he can design a skull every day — I…
