Am I Out of Balance?
The whole goal of Balance in All Things is so I can better identify when I start to get out of balance. If I detect it early, I can make a minor correction to my life and carry on with little impact. Unfortunately, it usually takes a major issue to crop up before I realize how out of balance I am and by then there are repercussions that typically need to be dealt with. The trick, of course, is knowing when I am veering off course. It would be great if there were a device I could buy, say a life compass that would start blinking as my balance wanes. Read more »

Getting Some Zzzzs
We had thunderstorms roll through last night again which meant that I did not get very much sleep. My youngest is scared of thunder and the moment he hears a crack of it, he bolts out of bed and climbs upstairs to be with us. He typically goes right back to sleep but now there are little arms and elbows in my back. Secondarily, while I don’t get scared by the weather, the constant flashes in my eyes and the rolling thunder against the house tend to wake me up. So I’m dragging a little at work today. Read more »

Balance in Photography
My uncle and grandfather have been into photography for as long as I’ve know them. In fact, my grandfather was friends with famous photographer Robert Capa and others.

The art of photography in not learning how to take good pictures, the art is in noticing what is around you and balancing the light it reflects. Read more »

Into Every Life
The whole concept of balance is the thought that there are two forces pulling at you to both go their way. If you follow one, the other gets out of sync causing you to tumble away from it and vice versa. So you do your best to stay in the middle enjoying the best of both worlds. One place where this analogy falls a little flat is when bad things happen. After all, who would normally choose to experience bad things? Still we know that it will happen and hopefully, we are balanced enough to keep it from completely dominating our lives. Read more »

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
One of my favorite TV shows when I was little was Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Part of the reason was Erin Gray but a lot of the reason was Star Wars made me love sci-fi and this show (and Battlestar Galactica) was as close to Star Wars on the TV as anything the 70s had to offer. I recently picked of the DVDs and have been watching them with my three-year-old son. He likes Twiki but thinks everything else is Star Wars. Oh well. Read more »
