Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
There are days when you run across something that mesmerizes you. It hits you with such power and force that you’re stopped where you are.

When I was a newspaper reporter and wanted feedback, I would go straight to the source. I would stop by a local coffee shop and grab a coffee.

When I was a kid, I loved magazines like National Geographic, Popular Mechanics, Boys Life, and a few others. I loved the images from around the world and stories about how to build your own go-kart or start a fire with nothing but sticks and some string. Now the devil was in the details. Have...
