Tonight, January 14, 2013, between here on Word Press and over there on Facebook’s ChasingRabbitHoles.com page, we tip-tilted over to 300 followers! Yessireebob! I wrote about the silliness of tracking stats here and here. Seriously, it can make you nutso. But you do it anyway. As always, there is no apparent rhyme or reason. I […]
The joy of being an adult who lives alone is you make the rules and you break the rules. What’s for dinner? It began with a Stouffer’s homestyle beef: which, we are told, quickly becomes this within 14 minutes on the stove: The directions say to keep frozen; pour contents into a non-stick skillet, cover […]
THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS. Growth is a process of trial and error: Experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately “works.” Take a moment and remember yourself five years ago. Are you the same person? What have you learned? Think of something that upset […]
As I wrote in the first of Notes to Self, these are to clear up any confusion or questions from the AWOL manual, “When to Lay the Weapons Down,” being published serially here. Much of the manual plays off of Rules for Being Human. Because this is a blog, I break individual chapters into parts, […]
Part 1 can be found here. Note: Just a reminder that this was written for attorneys. Adapt and apply, the principles are the same. Each one of us is born with an inner map, an inner navigator. Our choice, no matter how we spin or weave reasons to err. It always keeps coming back to […]

I met Maggie because she fostered Ella, nee Dena’s Diamond, my current Chaser here at Chasing Rabbit Holes. The first time I […]
As I write this, I am trying an experiment. I read an article on various homemade facials. I’ve tried the egg one – worked nicely. Today, I’m trying a mashed banana. Mash it up, apply to face, wait 10-20 minutes and wash it off and it will “moisturize your skin and leave it looking and […]
YOU WILL LEARN LESSONS. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid. What is the point of our being here, precisely here in this time and space? Why now, […]
Yesterday, Bob Woodward and Max Fisher of the Washington Post each wrote a review of former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates’ book, “Duty,” coming out on January 14, 2014. It’s causing ripples and outcries as this man was considered on both sides, Democrat and Republican, to be outstanding in his service for both the Bush […]
