Feel Good Friday is gonna be HOT!!!

Feel Good Friday is gonna be HOT!!! Yesterday, a friend’s 19 year old daughter underwent a very precarious brain surgery to repair some damaged veins. A couple of weeks ago, another buddy brought his newborn daughter home after several months in the hospital with heart problems that necessitated open heart surgery. Another buddy’s girlfriend has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment. I know this is not a very “feel goody” start to my FGF message, but whatever you are wor… Continue

Feel Good Friday is feelin' good!!!!

Feel Good Friday is feelin’ good!! Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died yesterday. Both were pop culture icons and contributed much to many. I had “the” Farrah poster hanging on in my room as a kid and I had Jackson Five coloring books and was an MJ fan until he got a little too weird. I still play my “Off The Wall” CD from time to time. Their passing is sad on many levels. It again highlights the impermanence of our time on this earth. This is not always a fun thing to realize, but it is al… Continue

Feel Good Friday is a little wet!!

Feel Good Friday is a little wet!!!! I got yelled at the other morning for playing Jimmy Buffett music. My kids hate it because they say I play it too much. My wife hates it because she says it contributes to my fantasy of living this island beach bum, laid back lifestyle that does not contribute to my proper engagement in the things I “should” be doing. Well, they are both probably right. Nonetheless, I’m listening to it right now and feeling pretty good this FGF!! A couple of days ago I was e… Continue

Feel Good Friday is BACK!!...again...

Feel Good Friday is BACK!!…again… A couple of weeks ago, I fell asleep on the couch watching Sportscenter and was awakened at about 3 o’clock in the morning to my daughter standing next to my head saying, “Daddy, my shirt got wet.” As I managed to peel my eyes open, I noticed that her shirt was, indeed, wet. In fact, her whole head was wet from the puke dripping off of it. She had a sleep barf after she apparently ate an entire watermelon. As it was caked into her hair and all over the side of… Continue

Feel Good Friday is Sunny!!

Feel Good Friday is…..!!!! Nineteen years ago today, my friend, Andy and I went on a wild drunken adventure through the sprawling hills of the Palouse territory outside of Pullman. We wound up at the Coug at midnight of my 21st birthday after being dropped off by a couple of hammered farmers who took us on a hair-raising, fish-tailing, death-defying drive through canyons at unfortunate speeds in a beater pick-up with bald tires and beer soaked seats. Today, I am going to the Woodland Park zoo w… Continue

Feel Good Friday is a little late!!

Feel Good Friday is Fantastic!! Today is a day like every other day. People are having breakfast, heading to work, sitting in traffic, thinking about their weekend, going through the motions, and this morning a good friend of mine is preparing to bury her dad this afternoon. It is a day of many things. Everyday is a day of many things. A certain duality exists in life where good things and bad things sleep in the same bed. The bad things, however, are very useful in creating a sense of urgency a… Continue

Feel Good Friday is DRY!!!

Feel Good Friday is DRY!! Oh baby, Spring has sprung!! At least this week!! Nothing is more appreciated and revered around Seattle as a nice day! It is the unfortunate lack of them, which makes them so valuable. Nice days jump-start everyone’s lust for life. We get inspired to make things better; spring clean, mow the lawn, wash the cars, etc. The problem is that nice days are fickle. So the question is “How do you have more nice days, when the weather is garbage? Answer: YOU MAKE THEM! The sol… Continue

Feel Good Friday begins RIGHT NOW!!!!

Feel Good Friday begins RIGHT NOW!!!!! Today is my son, Aden’s, tenth birthday. Ten years ago was a blink of the eye and ten years from now will be a blink as well. Life is moving right now. Life moves always. Kids are growing up and we are growing older. Appreciate all the great ways life is hard, all the struggles and challenges, because they give life its color and they will be over soon. My five-year old daughter, Helena, climbs into our bed in the middle of the night a couple of times a we… Continue

It's Feel Good Friday. ALL DAY LONG!!!

Feel Good Friday is right now!! I just got home from my FGF morning walk with my old buddy, Dan. We meet at the Des Moines Marina on Fridays, walk around and chat for a bit, then go our separate ways home before our families awaken. Today I was a little early, so I walked to the end of the fishing pier. It was a little overcast this morning, rain threatening, but the water was glass calm all the way across the Sound, not a ripple. The dark sky had hints of red and orange indicating that a “sun”… Continue
