Wiki Wiki Wiki

There's an 80's song with a hip hop beat and moderate rapping. Part of the chorus, voices like the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi, sing "wiki, wiki, wiki." I wish I could recall the song. If you do, please, please, please post the name, and perhaps a link to the lyrics. Anyway, I'm building my first wiki as a collaboration with fellow writers from a group called the Deadwood Writers. It's intent in part will be to share resources and our take on them. Many places list resources but may not include personal references, particularly the books. The challenge is deciding on a name.

Building consensus on a name is always a challenge. This group will come up with a good one. It's the process that sometimes takes awhile. Open to ideas!

It won't be called wiki wiki wiki.

Precious Things

Each moment is an opportunity to appreciate. It's difficult, nearly impossible to capture each moment like the slides in a video. At least for me. But times like now, when I remember to breathe, observe, and reflect, wondrous things happen. Like attending a dinner that my children make, their first full meal, after having already eaten out with my 95 yr. old grandmother. I will eat whatever they place in front of me like it's the first meal I've had. I will snap shot their watching expressions full of pride and anticipation. As I enjoyed dinner and conversation with my grandmother, it is a time I've captured in my heart. Now I go eat this sumtioius meal by my children, guided by my mother, whom I'm sure has captured that moment in her heart.
These moments are precious.

New Year's Resolutions

Welcome to a new year! Hope blooms. It's like calling a mulligan to start fresh on things I "should of" done. Hmmm...
Maybe it's time to hold long range goals that span multiple years, where time is not the factor. Instead, the steps become most important. Set short term mini-goals that lead to what I want most in life.

That's my resolution.
