Nearly twenty-five years ago, I found myself sitting in a conference room that I probably had no business being in. At least that is what I thought at the time. I was a young manager working for a very large company. I had only been there a short time and was attending one of my […]

Several years ago, I brought something home in a fairly large box. I honestly cannot remember if I bought it at a store or if it was delivered to the house. What makes this story even stranger is that I cannot remember what was actually in the box. Seriously, I have absolutely no idea. I think

I had every intention of being productive the other day. Notice I said intention. I walked into the garage to grab a screwdriver. Simple enough, right?

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
