This question is really part of a quote by Mark Twain. And I quote, “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why”. A very interesting thought-provoking quote. I get the first part obviously, as the very existence is needed before the second…
I’ve been thinking a lot about ethics. I watch daily the catastrophe in politics both Nationally and Statewide. I’m so disappointed in the lack of ethics by those that are supposed to be the ones setting examples. These are also many of the people deciding what the quality of life will be for many under…
My daily coffee break is the first thing that happens every morning. I know, you’re saying your day always begins with coffee too, but the difference is that I break for everything to spend it with my dad. I don’t think many of you can say that and I certainly never envisioned that I would…
My Dad and I were recently talking about some recent studies that suggested that if you don’t get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep a night that you increase your risk of early death by eighty percent.

Every time it occurs, there is an accelerating idea by the media and outspoken groups for both sides raising the volume on whether guns are the…
I recently turned sixty. Six decades of opportunity and choices. Have I made the right ones? Have I taken advantage of everything that came my way or was made available? Have I accomplished any of my dreams and do I still have time to make real those greatest desires? I’m sure everyone my age begins…
The other day, I was mindlessly going through Facebook and looking at posts from the shortlist of my closest friends and came across one of those ads that asked, “Would you have done anything different with your life if you could do it all over again?”. One of those lead-in ads for education and no…
LOL, just when you think the world can’t get any crazier, someone or something steps up to show you that you haven’t seen everything yet.
