It's time to head out on the highway. The first family road trip is dialed in and coming soon. Leaving the usual day-to-day behind, packing up, and on the road once again. Very excited for a bunch of reasons. I've loved road trips as long as I can remember. Going new places, seeing new things. …

[002] Reminder: Show the Love
This one from one of my favorite voices for men, dads, families on social media, John Finch.
[001] Taking a Page from the Mindfump…
Always looking for new approaches for getting the GOOD out there. This idea is straight from the likes of Mindfump.com - sharing tidbits of wisdom from time to time I find that are worth it. Here's the first if many to come, this one from BrainyQuotes.
Proud
Pride. Keep it in check, but let it fuel you inside. When legit and from real work, effort, and struggle, there are few things that will fortify your self-worth and esteem. Store up those feelings to help carry you in difficult times. That sort of pride is your armor, your shield. When you've worked hard …
Celebrating Susan, 2017
A dozen years back I met this amazing person. Her name is Susan. I was really lucky. She taught me a lot about myself and love and learning. A few years later she became my wife. Together we made a family, now with three little children. I am even more lucky now. Susan teaches me …
A Pile of Shells
We're heading into one of the main vacation times of year, and I'm thinking back to the family holiday last year on the beach. I've come to love those days -- this will be the third or fourth trip to the California coast near with the family -- there's a total focus on kid fun, …
Hallway Protocol
We recently moved into a new facility at work. It's a cool, big building, freshly refurbished to welcome us. Prior to this home the company had been a bit spread out, across 5 buildings. It's nice to see everyone under one roof, get a more full sense of who's who. What faces are associated the …
Inside the Box, Outside the Lines
There are many metaphors that convey one of the basic dichotomies of life: that middle ground between routine and spontaneity. The concept comes to to mind thus: put your life into a neat little box that is familiar, known, manageable. At the same time, don't be afraid to color outside the lines and create something …
Five.
Five stands for several, meaningful things in my life. So it's worth a little share out, to further the good. First, there's five o'clock. In the morning. It used to be early for me. Now, not so much. I get up during the work week between four and four thirty. Plenty of dark still out …
Debrief: Dad’s Day So Make Hay
Father's Day 2017. I gotta say once again, taking the sublime tact has been the right answer to finding joy and celebration. No rafting trip, no golf outing (that was yesterday, of the charity kind), no ball game (that was last week), no trip to the beach (that's coming in a couple weeks), just lots …
