Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I clicked off the conference call and got up from the desk. I was beat. It was one of those days when it was one meeting after another. I opened the office door and was surprised to see my newfound friend waiting for me in the hall. My daughter's cat greeted me with a meow... Continue Reading →

I've been in a crazy downward swirl lately. —I put my wallet down and two minutes later I can't remember where I put it. I ask my wife where the cell phone cord is that she just gave me. She looks at me strange. Of course, it's in my hand. "Duh, how'd that get there."... Continue Reading →
Yea, there's a little election going on today, a small little affair. We'll see who will become the 47th President of the U.S., but it's not the biggest vote of the day. Yes, yes, there's bigger fish to fry. Bigger than becoming the leader of the free world? Oh my goodness, yes. Here's what I... Continue Reading →
In 1991, Gatorade ran an ad featuring Michael Jordan that showed game film of him in midair moving the basketball from his right hand to left to score a difficult layup. The commercial shows him dunking and being, well, classic MJ and then cuts to young men and kids playing on a playground court. They... Continue Reading →
