While brevity is important, and helpful in keeping on point, time is truly needed in order for value to set in — And value is education, relationships, health, anything of value… really!
(I found this post on my blog archive, but it was never posted. I’m not sure this ever got posted, Just doing a little house cleaning. Enjoy!) One of these things is not like the others. With paintbrush in hand, canvas at the ready, I unleashed the exploratory efforts of creativity, which resulted in a [...]
I’m here in California working and, when I get the opportunity, enjoying the city. This morning, I awoke early to chat with Keith Stubbs, radio personality with 101.5 The Eagle, and talk about last night’s Dancing With The Stars performance. But, that’s not what I want to write about. Since I was up so early, [...]
I met Cameron Rafati at a single’s social last summer; a function I was responsible for setting up and finding entertainment. Well as luck would have it, and through a network of friends, Cameron came highly recommended. He’s a one-man show with a comfortable stage presence; ideal for live music in a casual setting.

Seeing those blue-and-red flashing lights in the rear view mirror conjures up one of the most gut-sinking feelings on the planet. A husky figure got out of his tailgating patrol car, and [...]
Last week, I thought about trading in my ol’ clunker for something a little nicer. Why not? The government is handing out money in a billion-dollar car allowance program. Did I hear “free cash”? Sweet! Not only is my trade-in worth the government’s $4,500, but the dealership will throw in the car’s scrap value. That’s [...]
Can I share a secret with you? Do you promise not to tell anyone? Oh, the irony of that statement. I have the hardest time remembering names. If remembering someone’s name is considered the best compliment one could ever give, forgetting someone’s name is probably the biggest social blunder one could make at parties and [...]
There are times when we are mistaken for someone else. If you are being compared to someone you admire, a case of mistaken identity can be viewed as a compliment.
