Not sure I can successfully explain this but I’m going to try. It happened at Chipotle the other night when I was picking up dinner for the kids. The server who helped me made eye contact as I walked up, but then seemed to sort of ignore me for another 60 seconds, before engaging. Through …

Not My Lane
Bloganuary Prompt: “Come up with a crazy business idea.” After nearly 35 years in the business world, I’m saturated with the means and schemes we follow to make money, now centered more to the creative act, But looking around, looking back, at its essence it mostly comes to this, “What need isn’t being met, and …
Making Time
Not sure if “time” as a reoccurring theme is a function of the new year, or just from various points of view that come to the fore based on recent circumstance. But here’s another, regardless. Sick at home. And a sick kid at home too; younger daughter; need to nurse her a bit back to …
Channeling Linus
Bloganuary Prompt: “Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?” I was like the Peanuts character, Linus: I had a favorite security blanket with me for the first ten or so years of my life. Actually, I had two. When I was a baby / toddler, I had …
No Fear
Another mantra I’m re-kindling for the new year: “NO FEAR” I recall back to the 1990’s it was a motto invoked by several professional athletes. One of my favorite 49er players at that time was Fullback Tom Rathman. He had a No Fear sticker on the back of his helmet, as I recall. And that’s …

Bloganuary Prompt: “What is your mission?” This prompt is like a “fat pitch” in baseball, ripe for a full swing for the fence… After more than five decades on this beautiful planet Earth, I still learn new things every day and adjust to tue path the Universe sets before me.. But my mission? Plan and …
Well Spoken
Watching NFL football this past weekend, was struck by the poise with which players and coaches talk to reporters, often-times. I know in this era of social media, etc. -- and long before, most likely -- there's a hightened awareness of the sound-bites that get pulled from interviews. Believe too that many (all?!) teams have Public …
Approaching TEN: Half_Full, All GOOD
As we approach the ten year anniversary of this blog, I wanted to go way back to the beginning, to remember why it all started. Happens that this first blog post was just a few monthes after the birth of our third child. We had (have!) two others, who were born in 2011, and 2012 …
Do Now
Bloganuary Prompt: “What could you do differently?” Short and sweet for this one. There’s a time management maxim that goes something like this: “If you can accomplish a task in two minutes or less, so the task immediately. That way, it’s done. No more thinking about it needed.” I can apply this rule more regularly …
Much Respect: Guy Stats
Obviously by the name of the piece, I'm attributing this trait primarily to "guys", men, etc. I fully recognize that many, many women, young ladies, etc. have the same ability to evaluate and draw meaning when statistical data is presented. MUCH RESPECT. This idea came to mind recently when I had an friendly exchange on X …
