An hourglass on my shoulder. An hourglass on my shoulder. Why is it that I see an hourglass on my shoulder? You see a man walking by, carelessly he seems to glide.

I started this piece a few nights ago when my body wasn’t cooperating. I got most of it done that night, but didn’t get a chance to do the final edits until this morning. I’m sitting here at the computer writing this because I’m not able to help with the chores right now. It’s notContinue reading “Park’d at the Computer”

In my latest Blog post I discussed “the things that I’m most grateful for from 2021”. However, soon after posting the piece, I realized I made a grievous omission, which I intend to now add to the long list of things I’m grateful for. I can’t believe that I forgot to include my Parents. SomeContinue reading “Remember your Roots”

While this goes a long way towards making the world a betterContinue reading “Charitable Giving”

I recently got aContinue reading “Vivek Puri”

Many people on this earth are struggling. It could be your neighbor, your friend, your co-worker. It could be you. Yes, there are so many people that have difficult lives. I am not one of them. I’ve done nothing extraordinary to deserve this comfortable life. I’ve worked hard. But so have so many others. I’mContinue reading “The Privileged Parky”

This is mostly satire. But there definitely is some truth to this. Also, the events I mention did happen. However, I actually have no problem with the vast majority of people Parky or not. I’m going to be a little hard on a few of you non-Parkies* tonight. I’ve got a bone to pick withContinue reading “Non-Parky Perspective”

When it comes to my career, I’m a bit of a late bloomer. Early on in my career, while my peers were busy getting good at what we do I was busy wondering what the f*** was wrong with me.
