Echoes and Ghosts: Somewhere Between a Listening Room and a Sonar Shack

A submarine sonar shack under the Mediterranean Sea. A listening room full of vinyl. A camera in hand. A stubborn light strip under my desk. Different machines, same ghosts....

Pluses Outrank Minuses

Seventy trips around the sun will eventually teach a person a few things — including how to deal with curve balls you never saw coming. My latest blog post is about MRIs, aging, mindset, and why I still believe the pluses outrank the minuses....

The Unexpected Companion

At 69, I figured I had a pretty good handle on life. Turns out, life still had a surprise waiting for me. As I head toward 70, I’m learning to walk a new road—with an unexpected companion—and a whole lot of gratitude for whatever lies ahead....

Some days creativity moves in straight lines. Other days it skips like a record finding its groove
