5:30 PM: It is crazy. Trying to “wrap-it-up” with two or three calls on the way home, small and large celebrations from the day and (re)connections finally made after a handful of texts and voicemails. What to do for dinner? What city are you in? Are the girls fed? What time will you be home? […]

Inbox me, ping me, message me, drop me a note, etc … Do you recall a time in your life that there were so many ways to contact someone? I doubt it. With the advent of, and now our total immersion in technology, think of all the ways, just within your phone, laptop, or device […]

Other than swimming, I never heard this term tossed around that much until recently.

You’re what? That’s right, eventually we all hear this. A person you have worked hard with, nurtured, tutored, coached, guided, etc. has decided to leave you. Sometimes it’s hard to hear. Actually, most of the time it’s hard to hear. If the person wasn’t performing well or needed help, then you either helped them or […]

It’s early, the joy of getting some years behind us is that we sleep really late into the morning …. Not! But, early it was and I had just spent a great night at a dear friend’s house up in a very beautiful part of Virginia with he and his family. Having a few quiet […]

I was just standing there waiting for my take out order, when my week was made so whole and so complete that I couldn’t quit smiling. Smiling as in major goof-ball kind of smiling, all the way home. It had been a great week of travel in California with my bride. We did […]
