I stopped by my old neighborhood on the way to lunch with friends, and I found myself completely dumbstruck by how much has changed in the fifteen years I’ve been away. It felt like walking back into someone else’s recollections and dreams, of a version of me that has long since passed into memory.

To be completely honest, I'm just feeling so exhausted and discouraged these days.

I wholeheartedly sympathize with anyone needing to travel by air this holiday season. I can only imagine just how much more stressful Thanksgiving week will be for travelers across the country if flights continue to get delayed and cancelled en masse due to the government shutdown.

With everything going on in the world right now, I genuinely and honestly don't know what to say or share or think on social media anymore.

Is it Monday again already?

Liz and I are enjoying some serious nostalgia tonight as we watch the original, despecialized editions of the original Star Wars trilogy. The fact that Projects 4K77, 4K80, and 4K83 exist is a testament to fan efforts to preserve the movies as originally released in theaters, imperfections and all.

"I'll begin again. I'll rebuild my life. I'll live to know that I've fulfilled my life. I'll begin today, throw away the past. The future I'll build will be something that will last."

Along with my love of orchestral film music, I have many beloved books that I will return to from time to time that recenter me and act as comfort food for my soul, books such as Armada, Dune, The Lord of the Rings, The Martian, Project Hail Mary, Ready Player One, The Silmarillion, and World War Z.

Self-hatred and self-loathing are the thieves of joy and happiness in life.

I'm feeling very discouraged this morning; but, like so much anxiety, this too shall pass.

Today is a solemn and somber day of remembrance for both those lives lost on September 11, 2001 and those whose lives were forever changed by the tragedy.

My heart breaks for the families, friends, colleagues, and bystanders mourning tonight in Minneapolis in the aftermath of yet another tragic loss of life.
