More Than A Couple
Great question! Let me get my calculator and tally sheet out. Let’s see here… Subtract the 5, carry the 1… Multiply by 50… And… Wait. What? That can’t be right! Let’s try that again. Ah, I see now! Subtract 7, carry the 3, divide by 4.44365… Multiply by… Pi? What? No! I think my calculator…

Fatherhood
I’m actually going to play this one straight today. Shocking, I know. If I had to pick one thing to be most proud of, I would have to say being a father, and all that comes with it. I don’t talk much about personal matters, but suffice to say that, like many of you, I…

All Kinds Of Stuff (And Maybe Some Things)
As I have already seen around a few times, we are all works in progress. We’re always working on some thing or another in our lives. Whether big or small, there’s always something. Sleep: As regular readers know, I have been having one hell of a time getting my sleep situation under control. I believe…

It’s All About Intention
I think this question really comes down to a matter of perspective, timing and intention. Did you plan to have a lazy day? A day to unwind and decompress? If so, then I don’t think it can really be labeled “unproductive”, without the caveat that said unproductive state was planned, and the goal was likely…

Up North
When I need some peace and quiet, I like to take a ride to any one of the small towns up north of me. There’s a lot of nice rural areas within 20 minutes, and the further north one goes, the more peaceful and quiet it gets. There’s something quite soothing about just standing around…
-
Respect
I would say “respect” is the overall theme I try to live by. Respect others and their viewpoints, even if you don’t always agree. No one is ever going to see exactly eye to eye on every single issue, so live and let live. There’s no reason to disrespect others just because you don’t share…

Sleeping!
Why? Well, damned if I know. I guess “putting it off” isn’t accurate, but whatever. More like it’s been evading me. For a decent amount of time now, but more so the past few weeks, it seems. I believe the main reason is because of my constantly shifting work schedule these past two months. 12…

Far Too Early
If I were to sit back and reflect upon my life, my answer to this would be “far too early”. For a myriad of reasons, life has necessitated, since I was a young’un, that at times I had to fend for myself. The particulars don’t matter, really. But, I can say that there were enough…
-
Give It Away
Give It Away Give It Away Now! Now, I am going to operate under the assumption that since I have a million smackers to give away, I, my family, friends and loved ones are already well taken care of. Assuming that, I would likely donate the majority to cancer and diabetes research, since each has…

Work, Work, Work
As I thought about this question a few things came to mind, and I will touch on all of them, but I would say the biggest one in recent memory would have to be the journey to not only get back to work, but also at, or beyond the level I was previously. WORK: After…

Since They Did Not Specify
I will take it as “musical artists”, thanks. 😄 And if y’all don’t know by now, well… Of course, I am always going to pick Van Halen as my numero uno every time. But truly, there are so many talented artists who’ve come and gone over the years. My main focus in terms of artistry…

Days of Future Past(ime)
If you got the reference, then you have earned your nerd card. 😉👍 I think I have only answered this, or very similar questions, about 1,236.7 times before, but since I am at a total loss for anything else to post at the moment, here goes 😄 Playing Guitar: This prompt is timely in one…

To Care Less
AKA: Musings of a Sleep Deprived Mind I feel like this could kind of dovetail off my last daily prompt reply a bit. The older I get, the more I wonder about the art of not caring. Some would call it “detachment”, but truly, I am talking a step further and absolutely, totally not caring.…

How About “Less” Attention?
I feel like this is part B of the recent prompt that asked “what things could you do more of?” I mean, I feel like the answers are going to be similar for a lot of folks: And those are all very valid answers to a degree. However… I am going to go in a…

Define “Work”
This is a bit of a tough one, because when one thinks of “work”, a job often comes to mind. At least, that’s what my mind defaults to. My perspective on jobs has changed a lot in the past nine months or so. I now tend to view them more as a means to an…
-
Hate These Questions
Well, these types of questions, really. First, I don’t really like talking about myself in that fashion. Second, I don’t really know that any one trait truly stands out. I’m thinking, I’m thinking… If I were to just sum it up quickly and cleanly, I would probably just say that I think I am a…

Most Likely None
I recall this being asked before, and I’ll be damned if I can remember exactly what I said, but I’m sure it was similar to the following. I don’t think I would consider working if money didn’t matter. I think instead, I would focus on doing things I just plain like to do. I’d love…

I’ve Never Been Asked This Before
Only repeatedly… (And I don’t care what anyone says. the Gorilla Action Figures still rock.) But, this did give me a nice opportunity to make some more spiffy Gorilla pictures, and oh, I don’t know…Maybe a little rant. Now, as much as I love talking about Gorilla Brand and Gorilla Mart, even I, the great…

A Couple Things
I am sure there’s more than a few, actually. But for the sake of brevity, I will keep it to only a couple. Exercise: While I always get at least a couple sessions in weekly, it’s nowhere near the volume and frequency I’d like. I used to always be good about getting 5 -7 in…

You Always Remember Your First
The first album I ever bought as a young, impressionable lad. From there, there was no going back. VH then, now, and always. The impact it had on my life can never be overstated. It’s seen me through the best of times, the worst, and everything in between. 🤘🤘 Rock on, y’all! 🤘😎🤘

Shut Your Mouth
And open your ears. (No, I don’t, nor have I ever, had an earring. 🤷♂️) Anyhow… This is one of those pieces of advice that comes up all the time in one’s life. Or at least it does in mine. Even more these days with the advent of “active listening”, “soft skills”, etc. in the…

What fails?
Nothing to see here. Everything is perfectly under control. Anyone have the number for the fire department? Oh, and Dominos too. Not for me, of course. Asking for a friend. 👍
