Big gathering this weekend, a reunion, a couple hundred (or more?) folks getting together to celebrate our years together in college a long time back. Fun for so many, especially those coming in from out of town, to visit the campus, refreshed big time since we walked those grounds. And people spending extra time in …

Lyrics Post: “24K Magic”
This might have been the first song I heard by Bruno Mars, a couple years back. My wife liked it; our kids liked it. That was enough to give a listen. Fun music this cat throws down, and this particular song? Worth solid gold, I'd say. : - ) "24K Magic" Tonight I just want …
The Weekly
For 20 plus years, The Weekly... A simple gathering, a chance to get together and share and vent and get a bit of a break from the day to day. It began when folks in our little group started having kids. Sometimes we’d talk about parenting, a lot of times it’s about getting a couple …
What You Do
The Inventory Cage Sometimes it’s not so much where you are but what you do that matters more. Do What You Do. I found myself in the inventory cage getting some work done recently; mind you, the work I was doing related to what was in the cage. So I figured, rather than go back …
Road Trip!
Zero Dark Thirty, we rolled out. Regardless the hour, the excitement and anticipation were palpable. Over a great highway, southbound. And we chatted and the kids dozed and woke again. After several hours we arrived. And immediately we set to work, “having fun.” We learned pretty quick from the kids’ reactions to various proposed rides, …

Good Peeps
There are many people we meet throughout our life. Some we’ll be friendly with. A few will become good friends. Life-long even, if we’re lucky. And there are those folks we see seldom, they live too far away, or are living busy lives like many (all?) of us are. Consumed by the day-to-day, week-to-week responsibilities …
Trick of the Light
I love this picture taken from when I was in the kitchen making dinner last week. Taco meat in the pan; cold brew on the counter; sunlight streaming through, washing over scene. NICE. Finding little things to be joyful about, “magic in the mundane,” is a common theme for me. We do the everyday stuff....everyday. …
Lyrics Post: “The Sharing Song”
Pure Joy, Pure Life Lesson, Pure GOOD. That about sums this one up, good for kids, adults, pretty much everyone on the planet. Any planet. Enjoy. : - ) "The Sharing Song" By Jack Johnson It's always more fun To share with everyone It's always more fun To share with everyone If you have two, …
So Thankful
Attitude of Gratitude, recommended every day. I’m here to say, in every way, that the mantra is true, come what may, “Happy wife, happy life...” And let it swiftly follow, this isn’t a shallow pitch for placating, but rather simple recognition that when you live with someone who’s happy with their life, it’s got a …
