Comfort Zone
I think pretty often about how important it is to get out of your comfort zone. And honestly I do think it's important. I work to instill that willingness in my kids. I talk about how important it is to cope with the unexpected too. Why? Because dealing with the unexpected often involves going beyond …
Code Switch
Code-switching, common for multi-language conversations, also multi-cultural engagement, And I’m throwing out there, different attitudes, understandings, and communication styles, start to finish. Main thing? Keep trying to understand, keep trying to help others, understand, keep trying to find common ground so that everyone’s on the same page… add if we get there… ? Well, call …

Wandering Wormholes
My guilty pleasure, wandering Wikipedia, such a treasure-trove of content. Alea iacta est. Klein bottle. Alexander Hamilton. Wormhole. Just a few examples of things I’ve looked up recently. So fun! What topics have popped into your mind of late?

Two Guys
These two guys…quite a picture. On the left, Steve Inskeep, NPR Journalist/Correspondent/Host. On the right, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, (current) President of Ukraine. Squared off. Both quite expert at what they do. Thankful for the dialogue and insights. Two guys. GOOD.
Aftermath
Connected with a couple of good friends recently after work. Good insights, good sharing…it had been a while since we’d seen each other. It was great to catch up. Conversation topics covered many aspects…of our lives just now, the predictable, and the timely…kids, sports, upcoming travel,… Near the end, we talked about the Russian-Ukrainian war… …
