Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
A friend of mine recently gave me a unique, one-of-a-kind gift. You can’t find one of these in an Apple store or on Amazon. You can’t even travel across the globe to a quaint little shop in some faraway country to pick up a gift like this. My friend gave me a mini time machine... Continue Reading →
I have the best of intentions. It could be someone you run into in the convenience store or someone you see on the street, it doesn’t really matter. They say or do something rude and demeaning. I want to comeback with a one-liner or a quick retort that puts the offending party in their place... Continue Reading →
My friends and I walked down the festival midway like we were a benevolent king surveying his court. It didn't matter that our court was small in size, certainly less than a football field.

My wife and I have much in common. We like to take long road trips. We like similar music. We both like a range of singers and groups from U2 to Tim McGraw, Classical to Broadway, harder edged alternative to even metal. And we both like to read for enjoyment, her, mystery and crime novels,... Continue Reading →
We drove home in silence. My wife didn’t say anything. I didn’t say anything. We were stuck in rush hour traffic and I searched for the right words to break the silence, but they never came. We had seen the umpteenth doctor and we still had no real answers. We had sought answers. We left... Continue Reading →
The speaker droned on. His presentation lacked any real substance, I was already tired from staying up late the night before to take care of a work-related fire, and I was eyeing up the “X” button on screen to click out of the training. And then he said something that caught my attention. “You should... Continue Reading →
