Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I stepped outside the other day and looked up into a bluish-gray sky. The temperature had dropped a few degrees and I needed to zip up my jacket to keep the chill out. I was shocked to find a few things falling to the ground. It wasn't rain, snow or hail. It wasn't a bird... Continue Reading →
Some people have to travel great distances and hike up a large snowy mountain pass to search for wisdom. After the long journey, they have the chance to sit with a monk or holy man. They get to ask the questions that gnaw at them. Still others sit in a class on a college campus.... Continue Reading →
I'm not sure what made me do it. Most days I keep to a prepared schedule. When I start my work day, I like to tackle my highest priority items first. I'll try to work on a presentation that's coming due or, since there are fewer calls in the morning, I'll write the summary for... Continue Reading →
When my wife and I saw our chance this week, we took it. We gave our best impression of Bonnie and Clyde being chased by the cops and made a run for it — me in the driver's seat, speeding down a hilly, country road, her, my cool, calm, and collected right hand, giving me... Continue Reading →

When people talk about Autumn, I think fondly about Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the lead up to Christmas and... Continue Reading →
When I've had a few minutes this past year, I've often gotten up from my desk, stretched, and looked out my office window at several tall trees in my back yard. The trees have taught me a valuable lesson on living my life and the aging process. The leaves on the trees came on strong... Continue Reading →
The past couple of days, I’ve surprised my wife by getting up early and running out to get her coffee, just the way she likes it at her favorite coffee shop. As I've left the house, I've been able to feel it in the air. I felt the goosebumps on the back of my arms... Continue Reading →
Before the remnants of Hurricane Ida rolled in, I walked outside the other day and got blasted by stifling humidity and temperatures in the high 80s. The boys of summer, in my case, the kids from the neighborhood shooting basketball on the street, were holding out for as long as they can, but a change... Continue Reading →
