The flight yesterday from Miami to Denver was bumpy, rough, long, and intense at moments as the plane bounced around.

The unassuming leader

His mind was made for things other than what he did. He was creative. He was witty. He was very smart…not just books but life smart. Yet, life had thrown him a curve ball. Between the depression and illnesses, he settled into the routine of 9-5 work at a factory type setting. Important work but […]

The top

You’re the top! As I drove to run some errands…picking up the Triumph Scrambler…that was serviced, You’re the Top came up on the radio. Cole Porter’s joyful song. From a time long gone, it just hit the spot. Find it and listen to it. It will take you on a journey to a simpler time. […]

Those who make it better

Over the last year, I lost two dear friends. One by illness and one through a tragic accident. As I reflect on both friends, I think about what made them special. They were both comfortable in their own skin. They loved to help. They wanted to hear all the news from their friends. With the […]

A friend throughout time

You just never know. You start the day making right turns and then a left turn finds its way in and everything changes. As I write in Hour of the Wolf, life is a constant flipping coin. You make decisions, make choices but everyone else is doing that too. Or a half a inch here […]
