Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I took the elevator down to the ground floor and walked to my parents car. We had moved my stuff into my dorm and all we needed to do was say our goodbyes. The quad area was crazy, parents and kids were coming from all directions, pushing and pulling trollies. I was saying goodbye to... Continue Reading →
David Geffen, the founder of Asylum Records, Geffen Records, and Dreamworks Animation, has an art collection valued at more than $2.3 billion. Jay-Z, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jay Leno are all known for their entertainment careers, but also their large car collections. Everyday folks collect things too.

I have a problem with the big guy upstairs. Yes, God. I'm not trying to leave anyone out, I'm calling God a he for brevity sake, but insert male, female, creator, Mother Nature, supreme being, whatever you choose. In his infinite wisdom, he blessed me with a creative mind and an imagination that brings me... Continue Reading →

The doctor pulled the curtain back and came into our room. My wife was pregnant with our second child. I seem to recall it being our first, but she's the mom, so I'll take her word for it. In any event, she was nearing full-term, coming up on her 38th week. The doctor looked a... Continue Reading →
I’ve noticed something strange about every dentist or doctor office that I’ve visited lately. They all have the same décor and the same look and feel. If you've seen one, you’ve seen them all. Which makes me wonder: Do they order from the same catalog? Is there an Amazon online ordering system for doctors? Is... Continue Reading →
