Charter Night: Celebrating Lionism
"Charter Night" is the annual gathering (usually an evening/dinner event) when and where a Lions club celebrates its founding and work. I belong to a club in my community. Here's a little something about my humble club, one of 46,000 in more than 200 countries around the world. 51 years. FIFTY ONE YEARS. We've been …
More Color
I think I need more color in my day. Yes indeed more color, that's what I say. From time to time, I find that rhythm adds a little more color, a little more color, to the day. Often in my shirts and in my sox, splashes of color that really rock. So I’m the day …

Dad Solo, Be The Rock
First, I’m not a solo dad. Let’s be clear about that. My “Better Half” and I parent together, and keep this family together as a team. So that said, I’m sitting on the couch one afternoon. I’m with my son, who’s not feeling well. He’s taking a nap just now. Watching “Free Solo”, about Alex …

Balance Love & Action
This concept may be one of my fundamental goals, fundamental challenges, my life chrystalized each day. Love is centered on being and feeling and valuing the time, the moment, the people you are with. It's deep into NOW. Action is obviously, "the doing, the tasks, the active" -- it's how things get done. Taking action. …
“Keep Coming Back”
"Keep coming back, it works!" Is a common refrain in recovery programs. And it's true for sure. Battling anything massive, it's the resolve, the grit, that makes the difference when facing difficult challenges. Certainly addiction is such a circumstance. But it's not the only one.
