So: you’ve got an evening with no commitments; no tomorrow-deadlines for work; nobody coming to entertain. For some, that’s an invitation for some recreational reading; for others, it’s time to fire-up some of those subscription streaming services. What’s to watch? Safe-at-home audiences often lean toward crime as a first-choice genre: people doing bad things sounds […]

A few seconds after telling a reporter in a press conference on Tuesday at Royal Portrush that he doesn’t read many books beyond the prayer devotional on his iPad, Golf World’s #1 Scottie Scheffler spent five minutes and 40 seconds tackling a philosophical question that has plagued the sharpest minds our world has produced, and

How are your daily routines keeping you in-touch with what’s going on around us? I’d love to know your answer to that sincere query; I’d be honored to share mine with you to prime the pump of that conversation.

My roles – including this one, as the 35+ year Creator of this weekly blog/podcast – are susceptible to

There’s a big birthday just around the corner. I hope you’ll be celebrating it with your friends who share it! Sadly, there will be a bunch of folks whose distractions may keep them from slowing down to experience it. Will you be among the delighted, or the distracted? My focus this Monday morning is next

What’s a “memorial”? It’s something set up to remind people of a person or an event. Memorial Day may be a convenient start-of-summer holiday, but its purpose is clear: it is a day set-aside to remember the men and women who gave their lives in defense of our national freedom.
