My wife knows me inside and out, we’ve both been together with each other longer than we’ve been apart. She’s gotten used to my tricks, but it did take some time for her to get used to my creative craziness. Yes, us creative types are different. Photo by Pixabay We have habits and traditions caused...

Play it again, Sam! and great movie lines
I love great movie lines. Yes, I love them for all the reasons that everyone else loves them. They make me laugh, smile, or cry — sometimes all at the same time. I love everything about them. Oh, sometimes we remember the lines wrong. In the classic scene from Casablanca, Ingrid Bergman leans on the... Continue Reading →
Letting off steam!
I have to vent. I love sports. I love the competition and the thrill of victory. I love watching a group of individuals come together to work hard and to achieve a greater goal. Nothing else teaches life lessons and brings us together like sports and extracurricular activities. At high school graduation time, though, I... Continue Reading →
The last day of school
I pulled up to a stop sign in my neighborhood a few weeks ago and noticed a teenager walking on the sidewalk. The boy looked sad. He had his head down and looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. I only happened to notice the boy because the local high school was letting out... Continue Reading →

I wasn't out in the sun long this weekend, but I still got a nice little tan on the back of my neck. It's kind of appropriate. I'll be thinking about sunscreen this week.

Coming face-to-face with toxic leadership
My coworker and I waited for the elevator. We were heading back to work. I had helped proof a report for him and he thanked me by taking me to lunch. He was the finance guy, I was the comms guy. We didn’t work a lot together, but I was happy to help him. He... Continue Reading →
Helping Frogger cross the road!
My laptop was slow starting up the other day, it needed an update, and I found myself thinking about the first computer I ever got to see up close. It was an original Macintosh 128K, the first successful mass-market all-in-one desktop personal computer with a built-in screen and mouse. The computer showed up one day... Continue Reading →
Being authentic
I looked through the glass enclosure at the chameleon. The tiny lizard had a brownish color and pattern that blended into the base of tree. It was hard to tell where he ended, and the tree began. If it weren’t for a sign identifying him and giving basic information on the life of a chameleon,... Continue Reading →
