  • Duh!

    You would think after walking around this planet for decades, I’d have it all figured out. Nope. Too often I slap my forehead and say Duh! Why did I (or didn’t I) do that? The worst are the repeat lessons, as if the first time around the mistake was not painful enough. Some Duhs are…

  • Straight Trippin’

    Last Wednesday I saw a book title promoting healing through psilocybin and I imagined gazing at the sky, lost in a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors. Not from experience, but from curious wonder. Thursday something called Keith House appeared on my map as I searched for weekend events. Wonder of wonders, this new spot was hosting…

  • N E W…

    I have written and thrown out two drafts of this blog. I just wasn’t feeling it. Then I went to my NEW favorite museum, the Kimbell, to watch short documentaries about archeological discoveries in the Arkhaios Film Festival. What a joyous afternoon.  While I miss my favorite haunts of Houston, the art of discovery in…

  • Ch-Ch-Ch-Change Is…
