Getting the wrong teacher
When I was a kid, summer was the best. My mom gave me chores, but life was great, no school, no homework, life was a breeze. At least, until Decision Day. In my little world, that meant the day that the school posted the classroom assignments and I would learn who I would have for... Continue Reading →

Getting a fresh perspective
Statistics lie. I've always had a tough time with numbers. How do you tell the difference between 50,000 and 50,000,000? I look at them and I see two big numbers. It's like a Fun House of Mirrors. I look at one number and it looks huge. I look at the other and it looks the... Continue Reading →
Mother Nature: Giver and Taker!
The sweat dripped down my face. I had to take a break. I had been working in the yard, first helping my wife pull weeds and then pruning our bushes and had moved onto mowing and the work was kicking my butt. I bent over to take a quick break and cursed my youngest son... Continue Reading →
