The Monday before Thanksgiving our local Lions club delivered holiday dinner, plus extra food staples, for 170 plus families in need in our community. The majority of our members, along with some awesome “civilian” volunteers, turn out over the three days prior to do with work planning, setting up at the grocery stores where we …

Leisurely Day? #Gratitude
Yeh thankful-fest continues...relaxed, many little lessons, many little blessings. We headed out to the Golf Course at Moffett Field. Been open to the public for several years now. Was a combined Navy and Air Force base for decades prior. Historic Feel. Nothing fancy. A little gem nonetheless. They don’t get used much, but nice to …
Family? Naturally, GOOD.
Scenes from a day off...filled with gratitude for the time, the opportunity, the day off, my family, intentional thankfulness the mission and goal. Back for another visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, good weather served up... There was a stop at one of the several kid play areas: my crew, I love them. A stop …
Boxing Day Recap
Day after the Christmas feast - Boxing Day the Canadians call it - a mixed day of blessings and goodness if you try to find it. Have a look, it’s not too hard. It was a morning read, new old book, a gift from our daughter, a volume she bought at her school store. It …
Containers Interlude
In a corner of the tile counter in the kitchen, behind the drying rack next to the sink, that’s where they are. They are different sizes, different types, and they have difference color tops.

Continued learning and insights and lessons and mistakes and pushing the business forward. Thankful for the repeated …
The Holidays, It’s a Mixed Bag
So much going on. Decorating and event planning and attending and gift-shopping and meals prep and dancing children and singing children and too much sugar and grumpy children and the house in shambles and getting ready for a holiday meal and the year-end push at work, and last minute crises, and lending a hand where …
‘‘Tis The Season
So much wrapped up in the holidays, so many directions, so many feelings, so much good, if we let it be. Lights shining bright, red and green, with plenty others in between. Lights to celebrate the season, the reasons are many, the struggles many too. Plenty to do, people to see, greetings to share, things …
Blog Like a Post: Keep Going
More to the theme from yesterday. Digital smack down before 7am, kept at it, to solve it and do the work. Simple stuff. Spinning software; no time; gotta deliver; why didn’t you get it done? Transactions gotta happen, that’s how we work. What insight? Go man, GO.
