Recalculating Route…

The other day my wife and I were driving somewhere and, like many people these days, I had my GPS guiding me along the way. We have come to rely on our GPS as our navigator. In fact, we even named her. We call her Winnie. Now before we go any further, I need to […]

Left Hanging…

I’m just going to go out there and say it. I miss the days when a TV series had 20 or more episodes in a season. There, I said it. Now it feels like every streaming service gets together in some secret meeting and says, “How can we emotionally invest people in these characters and

The One Trip Trap…

Because I’m running my business from home, I get the luxury of spending a lot of time with my wife. Now, if you ask her, she will tell you that I am an absolute joy to be around. Delightful, even. And honestly, she would not be wrong. I mean, who would not want a guy

Guilty, I’m a Worrier…

The other day I had one of those moments that I am pretty sure most of us have had at some point. I was getting ready for an event, and for whatever reason, my brain decided it was time to go into full overthinking mode. Not a little thinking. I am talking about the kind

I have worn glasses my entire life. No big deal as they have been part of my look longer than my wife’s hairstyle has stayed consistent (I’m going to get it for that one 😉). But over the last five or six years something showed up that I was not exactly excited to talk about.

That One Song…

A few days ago, I got one of those random texts from my oldest son. Now, if you have grown kids, you know exactly what I mean. It can be anything from a joke, to a random thought, to something that makes you stop and say, “Where did that come from?” And honestly, I love

When the Jeans Start Talking Back…

I was having one of those days that makes a person feel like one has conquered the world. Work had gone great. I had been productive, checked off everything on my list, and was especially excited because that evening my wife and I were heading to a baseball game with friends. There is just something

Kayfabe…

When I was a kid, Saturday mornings meant watching cartoons and please don’t judge, professional wrestling 🤪. I was glued to the TV watching larger-than-life characters flying off ropes, arguing with referees, and holding championship belts like the fate of the world depended on it. Back then, it was real to me. Every rivalry felt

A Simple Walk, A Big Lesson…

We are very blessed to live close to our grandchildren. We get to see them often, and they enrich our lives in ways that are hard to put into words. My grandchildren are perfect. Even when they are not, they are still perfect. Since we have several grandchildren, we do not always get to spend
