Vibes and Scribes

In remembrance. I’m not one to post very personal things to social media, I’m just not – never have been/never will be, for reasons I need not get into here. In this case I will make an exception. Today marks two years since my father passed away. I have very fond memories of him, and […]

…and you’re complaining about that download time, huh? So, yeah… New Year’s Day, early in the wee hours of the morning, there was a celebration of another type going on at my job. The photo above explains it all – it’s a certificate marking a historic event of a flyby of a mission by NASA […]

Playing the numbers… Greetings good people. I’ve never purchased a lottery ticket, but definitely been “living by the numbers” for almost ten years. I have been working out in the gym, solely (aside from those varied hiatuses) with pen and pad, pretty much regularly after college. The Nike+ iPod Fitness tracking system made me start […]

“Things that make you go hmmmm…” Greetings readers…. As I was writing checks to mail some bills to be paid (yes I still write checks AND use the USPS to pay bills🤣), I saw, what I’ve seen since I’ve been paying bills, on the back of this envelope below… For some reason, for the first […]

“Coffee, tea or…” Greetings all…. Some of you remember the rest of that cheeky line often said by stewardesses (yes I’m saying “stewardess” vs “flight attendant” for a reason) in TV and movies back in the day. I’m one of the minority that never regularly drank coffee. Not to say I NEVER drank it at […]

Bottoms Up! While waiting in Miami for my connecting flight to Maryland from Jamaica, I spied this present reminder of Southwest Airlines commitment to customer service. The bright blue popped as I wondered what the word “comat” meant. I should know as I used to work for Continental Airlines in the late 80’s, for a […]

Greetings all… Well, winter is well underway, complete with associated temperatures in many places. For those experiencing those temps, are you ready for summer yet? The pic below was taken from my driveway almost three years ago to the day. For a cold day, it was a really nice sunset that caught my eye as […]

“Get away, let’s leave today, let’s get away! Let’s leave today, let’s get away Let’s get away! Let’s leave today, let’s get away” ThIs is the lyrical hook to Earth, Wind & Fire’s smash 1977 hit “Getaway”, the essence of something I think about all too often but hardly get a chance to do, or […]

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road” – Jack Kerouac, On The Road Greetings all. In my 30 years of working as a professional, there was only a span of two years where I didn’t drive to work. That span of time, 1988 to 1990, was when first […]

“…and on the third day…” Greetings everyone. We’re just about at the tail end of the work week, and that’s a good thing (for me, anyway). I run. I started running of my own volition in July 2010, when I started tracking my runs using the Nike+ iPod fitness tracking system. It’s really that technology […]
