Listen on Spotify Vicksburg: Adi and I were excited.  For the second consecutive year, we were heading to Bald Head Island to lead a yoga and meditation retreat for Lighthouse Film Company that is based in Wilmington, NC.  Incidentally, our friends Brad and Andrea Walker own LFC and Brad and I go back many years when we worked on a couple of short films that I wrote and directed while Brad was the cinematographer on the production. Brad and I speak the same film language—“dolphin squeals”—this is how people describe our language.  We bonded early on in our friendship talking […]

The following is an excerpt from my new book, Memoirs of a Renaissance Man (available of Amazon) Arch Nemesis, Shorty Carter   In the evening, Adi and I left for a quick errand; it was already dark outside, and the night was coming to an end.  As we got in the car, I mentioned to Adi that the eclipse seemed to pass without anything unwelcoming coming into our life (eclipses are known to bring seismic changes, some undesirable).

When we open our mind to infinite possibilities, we unleash our potential.   Winter has arrived.  The temps dropped to the low 30s and when we awoke it was so cold that Shorty found his way inside the house through the kitty door.  He was sitting silently under the kitchen table hoping I didn’t notice him.  It was too cold to force him to go back outside so I wished Shorty a good morning and let him sit there until he was brave enough to confront the elements again.  He didn’t stay long.  As soon as the house starts moving

So You Want to Do a Gallbladder and Liver Cleanse? (An excerpt from my new book, Memoirs of a Renaissance Man.) Anyone who has ever met Adi knows that she can convince almost anyone to try something unconventional.  I call her Lucy after Lucy Ricardo on I Love Lucy.  Lucy always convinced Ricky of doing things that he wasn’t particularly fond of doing; this is where I come in.  I am Ricky to Adi’s Lucy.  Whenever she says, “I have an idea” I know I’m in for trouble (in a good way).  Adi informed me a couple of weeks back
