Between 4 and 7: MMOW
I set a brown bag on the lobby table of a tall building at Washington University’s BJC Medical Center area and…

Same Porch, Different Stories
If you live in my neighborhood, you’ll probably bump into me in different places. Sometimes I’m the guy waving from the porch with a goofy story. Other times, I’m hunched over a laptop with way too many tabs open, whispering sweet nothings to all sorts of digital platforms. And on weekends and festival times you’ll…

My ‘Deer’ – Please don’t do this!
No, there is no typo. Umpteen years ago, when we first moved into our beautiful neighborhood, the sight of a deer family grazing gracefully in our yard felt like a Disney movie. Fawns frolicking, proud parents watching—it was charming, magical even. Guests would say, “You have deer in your front yard? Wow, you’re so lucky!”…

When the Sky Turns Without Warning
It was supposed to be just another Friday. One of those productive, get-it-done kind of days. The contractor was scheduled for a long-awaited home project, and the grass, thriving from recent rains, desperately needed mowing. I aimed to wrap up these tasks before the forecasted storms rolled in.

‘Fall’ing Gracefully
This fall, the two red point maple trees we planted last year have undergone a beautiful transformation. Their once-green leaves have turned a brilliant red, adding a striking splash of color to the yard. It’s hard to believe they were so different just a few weeks ago. Watching these trees adapt to the changing season…

As a long-time advocate of giving back,…

You won’t believe it – The Real Story!
If you haven’t read the first part of the story, I would recommend starting from the top. I sincerely appreciate the creative (and wild) imaginations that were shared earlier after I wrote the first part. I really do. Some of you took the story line in totally different direction but that’s OK. This confirms that…

You won’t believe it.
I am telling you; you won’t believe what I did this morning. I have done many stupid things in the past, but what I did this morning made me think of a lot of things like: Not just these questions, but many, many questions like these and more. Now the real thing is, it does…

My Route 66
So, it’s been a while that I could sit down and pen something for my blog. This is what happens when things get busy at work or just general in life. It’s only the second month of 2024 and things are flying so fast like there is no tomorrow. Surviving a day at a time…
