Timbre #80: The End Is Far

As the empty Coke can sitting near my elbow sputters and pops—no doubt mocking me—it’s starting to sound like it knows what I know. In fact, the can may also know what I try to ignore. Namely, that even after the last drop is shaken from its gut, there’s still something in there. Nothing can… Continue reading Timbre #80: The End Is Far

I feel like I know you well enough now to tell you that it’s Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. and I’m still sitting here in my undies. Yeah, it’s that kind of morning—not a morning that I feel like I know you or an undies-only morning, but a Wednesday morning. Another one. You know what I… Continue reading Timbre #76: Get Wet

Timbre #72: Don’t Show Up

For quite a while—much longer than my memory stretches—I’ve admired a cute little saying from afar. I felt like it applied to me a little bit, but also, the slow and steady way that things of any significance happen. Whenever I’d hear it, I’d smile and whisper to my inner whisperer, “That’s us, man.” Dan… Continue reading Timbre #72: Don’t Show Up

I’d like to spill the beans and say that I’m more interested in how skateboarding’s done and the way it looks than I am in the person or people doing it.
