There was an auto accident right in front of our house today. Thankfully it did not involve any of us. Actually, it only involved one person – the driver of one vehicle, who collided with a parked car on the side of the road. But this story involves several different folks, and a peek into…

What Color Are Yours?
This morning, I was brushing Kirsten’s hair, and I think I made some comment about how beautiful she is… because she is. 🙂 When I did, she said, “What color are yours?” I actually didn’t know what she was talking about, but she was staring at my eyes, so I think I clarified, “My eyes?”…
Starfish & The Spider
I mentioned not long ago the extensive list of books I am currently reading. One of those was the book you see to the right. I’ve been focusing on that one lately, and it’s amazing how much what this fellow is saying about the business world (really, so far it’s just an observation of various…
Dreamers
Last night I took my wife out for dinner and a movie. We had a nice sandwich at Arby’s (we rarely, if ever, go there so it was a special treat) and then we went to the “Dollar Theater” (we call it that) and watched the movie “Astronaut Farmer“. The plot is pretty simple… a…
Judging You, Judging Me?
The other day as we were reading through the book of Luke, the boys and I heard Jesus say, “Don’t judge other people and God won’t judge you.” I stopped when I said that and said to the boys, “That’s crazy! What does Jesus mean by that? Does he really mean if we just don’t…
Getting Warmer…
I am very different from most other people. Many of you reading this website know that already, as you know me outside of my blog. But for those of you who might just be passing by, or only know me from my blog (hmm… you may still be able to know that I’m a bit…
Why Do We Love?
I went for my morning walk today, despite the couple inches of snow on the ground from a persistent late-winter blanketing we are getting this week. (AND I AM LOVING!) 🙂 I was up pretty early to help Julia and then just decided to head out for a nice brisk walk with my iPod shuffle…
Group Think
If you know me in the slightest, you know that I am not at all the political sort. When I was at Michigan State, almost 15 years ago now, we lived in suites (two rooms shared a common bathroom). One of the guys in the other suite connected to mine was a super, duper, dee-duper…
Motivated
I’m sitting on my front porch right now, with a cup of Chai, and my PowerBook, getting ready to write a basic enews and do a few updates to the basic website, and I am currently being entertained by the elementary kids trying to run a mile around the track that is across the street…
Pilfering, Absconding, and On The Lam
Well I WAS going to bed… As I was leaving my office at 1:23am, after posting my last blog and cleaning up a few emails, I noticed a light outside. I thought it odd, since I knew I had not left the outside light on. (Plus, it was too dim for our outside lights.) I…
