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. What are your habitual disciplines to be aware of your life and setting? Here’s my daily

Somebody needs to figure this out. For me, the temptation to play amateur traffic cop happens every time I’m behind the wheel. Every time we pull out of the driveway, we’re entrusting our lives to nameless/faceless humans who are behind the wheel of 3500# death machines, hoping that they have a baseline awareness of the

Would you allow me to take you into the “ancient history” of the late 1970s for a few minutes? As your docent, I promise to give you a look at some vignettes that might portray a dramatic principle that could be a game-changer for you – if you take time to ponder the points. Are

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

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.

If you thought that year-end – the calendar span that kicks-off with Thanksgiving and finishes with New Year’s Day – was the only crash-time for gifting during the year, think again… Last night, Cheri brought our clan together: Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3.
