Fall ’96 – Car Accident
Originally published December 27, 2015 Its dark around me, with the exceptions of a few red and white faded lights, like headlights in fog. Why am I sitting here? My hands touch the ground as I try to get up, I’m sitting on the street – I pause and try to turn around but unable to. How’d I get here? What’s the last thing I remember, what’s the last thing I remember, what’s the last thing I remember? I remember being abruptly woken up, seeing lights coming at us and possibly going unconscious. I heard a knock on the window and with glazed over eyes see someone pointing at the…

Paradise
Originally published December 27, 2015 Its paradise. I found it, I found what my eyes see as paradise. Whether it’s a state of mind, a place or how I’m feeling at any given moment in time, makes no difference. Alone with my thoughts on a 12 day journey through parts of Europe left me with a sense of awe and wonder. I was amazed at the greenery when cutting across Austria on a train from Munich to Slovenia and eventually Croatia. What do people do in the valleys, how about in the hills that are so spread apart. How bad is winter and do they get a lot of snow in the…

The grass is always green
Originally published Jan 14, 2015 There are different shades of green but green nonetheless. “Why’d you go back to your old job” is the question I get asked most often, “I guess the grass wasn’t greener on the other side, huh?” said with a grin. I find this question or reasoning quite false. Grass is always a shade of green when you leave. What shade depends on your interpretation. Why is it green? Because you’re optimistic about the new opportunity, new company, new challenges, role, people, etc… It’s a new beginning to a chapter that’s ended. It’s a bright, healthy, energetic green. So what color should it be should you…
