Pibble Trail

  I have begun to compile and  categorize  many of my written material dating back to 2010. There is even the possibility of locating some that originated prior to 2010.   I am pleasantly surprised at the amount of material I am sorting through, it is a daunting task. Attempting to place the sorted material into categories that will then be compressed into work that I can share.   During this process, I have come across many memories. Memories ranging from sad to mad, humorous, and serious. As well as some that are too personal to share, at least for now.   One category that I am particularly excited about is titled G.U.R., and acronym. Anyone care to take a guess at what it spells out? One little hint, my name is part of it.   Today I would like to share a short piece that I wrote at 1848, on August 7, 2016. A small glimpse into a day of mine.   8/7/16 0429.  The alarm goes off. I reach over a dog and smash the snooze b...

  While I may be a bit late to the Blog writing adventure, with the shift more towards video, and even Podcasting, have Blogs lost readers? It appears that many have lost their attention span from being bombarded with having so much information just a click away. Bouncing from one click bait title, thumbnail, or short. to another. Some recent things that I have posted on social have received comments "too long", "TLDNR" and such. Is the written word in a decline? Adding to (or taking away) from the written word is AI. Will AI also replace human writing? Blogs, books, magazines, web articles? Along with the written word AI is also producing music, and art.  How will we know the difference? If a piece was AI generated or created by a human? Many times in my life individuals have attempted to discourage me from doing something, more often than not, it was discouraging words that were said instead of encouraging words. That is very sad, sad that so many will try to disc...

  Move. Get up and move. Move across your yard, across the mountain, across the country. Just move.   At the end of anyone's life do they ever reflect and remember the times that they spent on their couch? In front of the TV? Mowing their lawn? Washing their car?   How about the time some dickhead cut you off in traffic and you flip out blowing the horn and flipping them off?   None of that stuff matters. Why waste precious thought on non sense?   Just move. Do something. Oh, mowing your lawn is moving you   say? Why? So you can mow it again next week? Or it rained (yes, rain does happen) and you have to wash your shiny new car again.   Just move. Move with your love. Move with your friends. Move alone.   Walk, run, ride a bicycle, swim, crawl, move. Fast or slow. Move.   Pack up your stuff. Travel. Move away.   Do not let lack of accompaniment detour you from moving. If you wait for someone to join you ma...

  Why?   You may be wondering why I would want to do this “Blog” thing?   I even wonder why! I have had this idea for several years now, and it never really felt like the right time or who am I to think I can do this? Quite honestly I am a little nervous. But it really does not matter. The important thing is that I am doing something.   Please follow along. Even if you see nothing that is of interest to you PLEASE share with your tribe. If only a small percentage of readers follow what I post I will consider that a success.   There is no telling where this may go. If this never goes anyplace I am good with that, and if it grows into something else I am good with that as well!   Let me make a few things clear. I am not a writer. I am not an editor. I am not a photographer or an artist. I could just be another total whack job hiding behind a keyboard! So why would I do this?   I am not really sure what I am! More on that topic at ...
