A Day At The Track
Sammi had her 2nd track meet today – we missed last week’s because she wasn’t supposed to participate. She was a last minute add so we wanted to make sure we made this week.
By the time we had already got there, her first event the long jump was over. Man – what kind of parents [...]

A Visual Learner
There are many people who are book learning people but I have always found that I learn more and retain more visually. I still read books but if I can see, touch, smell or hear something, I tend to retain this information more than I would if I just read it.
The events of the Passion [...]

Where’s Your Samaria?

On one of my short term mission trips to Kenya, we had a dentist or 2 with us and they would [...]

I am a cancer survivor.
I was single and living alone in Arizona in 1983 and started developing some symptoms that I totally ignored. I was losing weight but [...]

Growing up in the Boston area, I had the opportunity to go to many Red Sox games. I even skipped school, took the subway to Kenmore Square, and attended numerous day games at Fenway Park. I used to do this in the late 70’s and early 80’s so at that time the “curse” was still [...]

In the early 90’s, I was a doctor. On a television commercial. It is embarrassing but in the spirit of telling (and showing) you something that you probably don’t know about me, here it is. Watch closely. My cameo appearance was quick. My son Stephen says that I had a cool Ron Burgandy moustache.
This was filmed [...]

It Had To Hurt
For all the guys out there, you know what this guy was feeling. The best part of the whole clip is the play by play announcer. Listen closely… that guy needs a hug.

I once had a bodyguard for 3 weeks.
For 22 years I held many positions at IBM spanning 3 states – Arizona, Minnesota and North Carolina. During 8 of those years, I was in management positions in areas such as manufacturing, order and production control, and software development.
My first management assignment was in tape manufacturing in Tucson. It [...]
