There’s a cute image of Kermit the Frog floating around the internet. He’s laying on his back shouting, “I’m not turning my clock back on Sunday. The last thing we need is an extra hour of 2020!!!” I agree with you Kermit. I refuse to give this year one more freaking hour. Of all days, … Continue reading I Agree with Kermit
We are days away from the November 3rd, 2020 Presidential election. One thing is certain, come November 4th, given the polarized state of the political atmosphere, it will be a day of hooray for some and dismay for others. Equal shouts of celebratory cheers and mournful jeers will no doubt fill the air. One can … Continue reading The Elephant, The Donkey or The Lamb?
I had a boss one time who nicknamed me The Renaissance Man. No sooner had I inhaled his verbal, ego-boosting dose of adrenaline did he teasingly add, “That’s because I never knew anyone from Georgia Tech who could write a sentence, much less a paragraph.” Ouch. To him, I was a walking, talking, writing … Continue reading Embracing the Great Paradox
As a ten-year-old boy, being told that I threw a ball like a girl was the ultimate insult. Adolescents can be cruel with their verbal barbs. For a young pubescent male, doing anything “like a girl” was akin to being called a sissy. But today, a phrase like “Fight Like A Girl” carries a new … Continue reading Fight Like A Girl

This year feels like a daily reliving of Groundhogs Day and Halloween as we wear a mask EVERY day. Come to think of it, 2020 feels like one of those haunted … Continue reading A Ticket of Grace
Today, September 29th is National Coffee Day. Seizing the moment, Dunkin’ Donuts has also declared it National Dunkin’ Day. I guess they hope you will be dunking their donuts when you drink your favorite cup of Joe. If I were a conspiracy theorist, celebrating a National Coffee Day sounds like Maxwell House, Starbucks, and Dunkin’ … Continue reading Coffee and Deprivation
In the 1992 movie, A League of Their Own, Tom Hanks plays the Manager of a women’s baseball team. One of the most quoted lines of that movie is when Hanks shouts at a player, “There is no crying in baseball!” Frankly, I think most men feel the same about life. Shedding tears is not a … Continue reading Praying for Tears
Since 1978, the first Sunday after Labor Day has been designated National Grandparents Day. The primary intention being the recognition of the importance of seniors and the contributions they have made. Being a grandfather many times over has proven to be every bit the joy I expected. I agree with one pundit who confessed, “If … Continue reading A Grand Day
Let’s be honest. Death is not something we like to discuss. We don’t want to think about it, plan for it, much less talk about it. It is an uncomfortable topic of discussion, much like wearing a scratchy wool sweater in the heat of the summer — it’s neither fashionable nor comfortable. I remember years … Continue reading Transition Planning
