It’s funny sometimes how the most innocuous thing sets your mind to wondering. For years I have kidded myself about not having goals, only to find that I really do have them, they are just buried beneath a debris field of fanciful stories I tell others so that I...

My career as a fisherman has been a spotty one at best. There have been times when I have had a fish on that I should have kept, only to let it go. At other times I have wrestled one onto the boat that I really should have tossed back as it wasn’t worth the...

In my last RobZerrvation I alluded to the Four Man Plan. Yes, it’s how I came to be a significant other. I didn’t know there was a plan, of course. That seems to be part of the plan. I didn’t know about it until two weeks ago, but I was a participant...

I always marvel at how the world works. How we draw lines in the sand or speak in absolutes, discovering that either is total folly. I have some great friends in my life, ones who have remained my friends for 30 years or more, though I’m not always certain why....

I had a friend once who managed to be delusionally optimistic about her relationship. It wasn’t perfect by any stretch, the word ‘love’ was of the four-letter variety, uttered under one’s breath but rarely shared authentically. You know the...

Christmas is upon us and this year, the holiday spirit has not only been upon me, but what might have beens. I guess returning to Seattle has done this to me; or perhaps it was the first snowflakes I have seen in almost a decade, floating by my window, ever so...
