Have you ever met someone famous? I have. Right out of college, I worked for a major airline and one of the unexpected perks of the job was the opportunity to meet all kinds of celebrities. I met and assisted movie stars, politicians, professional athletes and a few television personalities. If they were traveling through […]
The other day, my phone rang, and it was my son. Now, when your adult child calls and says, “Dad, I have a leak under my sink,” there are only a few possible outcomes. None of them are usually inexpensive. He explained that there was a small leak underneath his kitchen sink. He thought he

The other day I was walking into our garage and happened to glance over at the doorjamb leading into our house. Now, to most people, it probably just looks like a collection of random lines, dates, and names scribbled on a piece of wood. To me, it looks like a history book. For decades, that

Back then, it was real to me. Every rivalry felt
The other day I read a story that stuck with me. The short version is as follows: A man went to hear a speaker. He was excited to be there, but when he arrived, there were no seats available. Discouraged, he began to leave. Just as he was heading out, an usher noticed him. Instead
