On a Saturday morning recently, I was with my kids at the park. Two of them were attending a low-key soccer clinic for beginners. My son REALLY didn't want to participate. After several deep breaths and a small pile of encouragement, he made it on the pitch for the session. I wonder what the tree …
My Man Kun
Another good cat from my work life. He is a Principal Engineer that works on high-tech consumable products for our company. He’s a Ph.D., as well. I mostly have worked with him at arm’s length. But again and again I’m convinced of his innate knowledge and expertise and data-driven decision making. And he’s cool. So …
Della
There was this guy I worked with 30 years back. Jimmy Della. SOLID dude. We were couriers together on the front-end of our careers. We parted ways a long while back, but I cheer for him still. We weren’t close, but there was always a good, positive vibe. Somehow I sensed we were on the …
LEGIT, INSPIRED: M. M. Padellan
Love this dude, true hero of the everyday, and everyone, he posted this and I had to share, INSPIRED IS: “20 years ago today, on August 17th, I stopped using drugs and alcohol. 20 years later, I'm STILL grateful to those who helped me through that self-destructive period, and trying to be a beacon of …

Short, Sweet, Out
That’s my message just now: Keep it SHORT, Make it interesting with a little SWEET, And time for lights OUT. Know when to end it, don’t pretend to bend it, GOOD.
Wit’s End
How many times do we reach wit’s end with our kids? How often do we hit the wall? At a thousand miles an hour? It’s a miracle we can go on sometimes, the travesty and tragedy of the moment so overwhelming…for both the kid, and the parent. I committed a parenting sin recently. I handled …
Day Upon Day
Day after day I get up and I say, “Come on and do it again, do it again…” A great lyric from The Kinks, and a fine philosophy otherwise, Keep going, never give up, Never surrender, See to the end, If you’re still breathing, there’s still more to do, Day upon day, get it done.
Woods
The woods, I love them, Natural place, Peaceful, Timeless, Solace for all the temporal conditions of our human life, The woods, I love them.
