Wandering SF
Blessed to have an extra day off recently; spent part of the day wandering San Francisco with an old friend. I have family in SF, so know the city ok. Parts anyway. But this area we wandered recently - my buddy’s neighborhood - I’m not so familiar. Gotta say, so SO much cool stuff in …
Troika: Adjust
It was 157am when I heard the crying from the other room. I shot out of bed and across the hall to the kids’ room. My oldest daughter was whimpering in bed. She hadn’t been feeling well the day prior; now she was struck down by fever. And so as I cared for her in …

Job One
As I’ve gotten older and now have more than 30 years into my career, many things are more clear about life and work. In the end it’s the people in your life that matter most, especially children, especially if they’re *YOUR* kids. A recent list left on my refrigerator sums it up pretty well. It’s …

Fellowship Found
I’ve written about this before I think, my particular belief about volunteering and fellowship. Time to have another go. Like many things, we enjoy them more when we do them with others. I think volunteering fits into this category. And I think therein is the core value of service clubs, the “getting together” to do …
Example: Good Dad, Good Human
I know this guy, met him more than 10 years back, but less than 20. He was a sales guy, then started his own contractor business remodeling houses. Father of three like me, two girls and a boy. He’s a gregarious guy, salt of the Earth human. I don’t get to see him much, but …
Lions Work
I belong to a local Lions club. We’re a service group, aligned with more than a million other members in 46,000 other Lions clubs around the world. We exist to serve others, to help them out, those in need. Like this weekend. Our club’s 42nd annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to help about 220 families — …
