I've seen the Academy Awards winners list. Like all other fans of sports and entertainment such a Super Bowl presentation in Hollywood comes with emotions. I feel like a purchased a $20 lottery ticket and won nothing. The reason why I always get the Oscars wrong is because I'm not a critic, I'm a movie fan! But does that even work anymore. Especially since most people are getting their entertainment every place but a theater. Most of the people I spoke with had no interest in the awards show. I also heard, "What's Oppenheimer?"

A recent medical procedure gone wrong. I found my aged self on my back on the living room floor. My only thought was, "Stay calm. The doctor will call." I told a coworker about the experience and he quickly questioned my decision "Why didn't you take your Nitro?" People who've had heart attacks keep it with them at all times. I don't really know why I didn't reach for the medication. I chose calm.

We tend to bend away from the center of the relationship thinking we can always come back. Yes and no...

Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

Not everyone is excited about entering a new day. It feels more like a chore than a gift. My guilt trip is based on living off my Google calendar. I have to have a map. But I know people that base everything on what's being watched on television day in and day out. With absolutely no change.
