While I am not agoraphobic, I sometimes have to fight against the urge to stay holed up at home. Today, it took quite a bit of self talk to propel my ass out the door. I simultaneously wanted and did not want to walk. I drank coffee slowly, started reading a book I’ve read several [...]
The past few weeks have been full to the rafters with work (day jobs, paid video project work, creative work, planning work and yes, even a few chores though not as much as I should have done). I have not gone on a neighborhood walk in quite a while. I miss it. While I haven’t [...]
So here at the Bishop Family Compound, we’ve been outputting like crazy- writing, shooting video for ourselves and for others, performing in a variety of personae, more writing, editing of words (we’ve been procrastinating on the editing of video footage) meeting about art projects, planning for art projects as well as working day jobs and [...]
As my faithful and faithless followers know, on the Wednesdays that I actually write I most often hold up the Good Words and/or Good Works of creative types. I often offer my own thoughts on the work and once in a blue moon I might be a bit critical. But my primary goal is to [...]
I had plans of writing about someone else’s service today. Did some preliminary scribbles, traced my way through some ideas, let things simmer a bit.

I should have written this yesterday, but I didn’t and there you go. On Sunday, my sister told me that she and my four year old nephew walked to Krispy Kreme to get doughnuts. She reported that while he did well on the way there, he was a whiney pill on the way back. She [...]
Ah, my faithful and faithless followers, we come to the end of yet another week. Technically, Sunday is the start of the week in American culture. Yet Sunday, always feels like the end of the week to me. At the end of this week, I give thanks for: homemade potato leek soup; clothesline dried laundry; [...]
My faithful and faithless readers may remember that Mondays are dedicated to musings inspired on or by a walk. Tonight, my spouse went on the walk with me. It was a pleasant walk overall, despite the fact that both of us came home from work grumpy and out of sorts. We chatted about this and [...]
Love and salivation to my faithful and faithless readers. We’ve come to another Sunday, which means it is time to fill the thank full. Today, I am thankful for how glorious cold water feels as it slips into my mouth and slides down my throat; for the chunky texture of lentil and sausage soup; for [...]
