I have opinions and I have passions and I like to write.

S is for Song Lyrics

Posted on April 22, 2018 by renbog

I love words. I especially love words when they convey more than just their denotation, when they are combined to create something greater than their individual meanings. That’s why I love reading novels and short stories and poetry, and it’s … Continue reading →

R is for Resolutions

Posted on April 22, 2018 by renbog

I am a day behind, but no worries. I thought it would be fun (for you — humiliating for me) to check up on the progress of my resolutions for this year. Run 2 half marathons: well, probably not going … Continue reading →

Q is for Questioning Myself

Posted on April 19, 2018 by renbog

Last October, I ran the Chicago Marathon. It was my first (and likely only) marathon, and sometimes, when I think back on it, I get overwhelmed. The memories come back to me like scenes from a movie — seeing my … Continue reading →

P is for Politics

Posted on April 19, 2018 by renbog

N is for Novel

Posted on April 16, 2018 by renbog

Writing is my first and most passionate love. If I could do anything in this world, I would write. I have dreamed for years of writing a book. I’d love to write a novel more than anything. In April 2014, … Continue reading →

M is for My Mom

Posted on April 14, 2018 by renbog

If you know my mom, then you know she is pretty much an extraordinary human being. I love her. Just that simple. I’m not going to use any flowery words or superlatives to try to explain how much she means … Continue reading →

L is for Legacy

Posted on April 13, 2018 by renbog

In some ways, I guess it’s a little ironic that I saw Hamilton at the point in life I did — which was just recently — because I have been thinking a lot about my own legacy. One of the themes … Continue reading →

K is for Key West

Posted on April 12, 2018 by renbog

I am cheating big time here today! I have struggled for the past few days to find something to write for the letter K and I just keep coming back to this one topic: Key West. I’ve written about Key … Continue reading →

J is for Jimmy Buffett

Posted on April 11, 2018 by renbog

I admit it, I’m a Parrothead. Have been for probably a good 20 years since my friends Sarah and Eric introduced me to this “way of life”.  But as time has gone on, I have become a bit of a … Continue reading →
