Peace in the Quiet
So, my kids are all away at camp this week and next. It’s a funny feeling this morning as I sit at my desk in the home office and I don’t hear anything. The dogs are asleep. The kids are gone. Lici is at her office. It’s very quiet. Usually, when I work from home, […]
Curiosity
You can’t grow without curiosity. Period. If you stop being curious, you stop growing. And don’t let your job, your circumstances, your obligations stymie your curiosity. I met a guy today that had a kid at 17 with his 17 year old girlfriend. They are still married (he’s almost 40). They have 4 kids. And […]

What’s the Big Deal About a 7.25% Interest Rate?
I’ve heard many, many people say something to the effect of “7.25, well when I bought my first house it was 14,15,16,17%. I don’t see what the big deal is.” And they are right, if that was the only factor. Historically, 7.25% is not very high. In the most recent 20 years, its actually about […]

Busyness vs. Business Revisited
Always a topic on my mind. Something I constantly have to monitor myself on. Is what I am doing right now business or busyness? We tend to worship busyness. “How are you” “Oh I am just so busy!!” “Wow, that’s great!” Is it though? I can be really busy and not really accomplish anything. Busy […]
What is Happiness?
I struggle with this question often. Is happiness complacency? Is happiness something you achieve? Is happiness a state of mind? Is happiness something you can or can’t buy? Is happiness a choice? I don’t know the answer to those questions. It seems like all of those positions have their merits. You meet some people and […]

Big Ol’ Slice of Cathartic Cheese
One of my favorite books is “Who Moved My Cheese.” I think folks should read it every couple of years and spend some time investigating their cheese. Business cheese, relationship cheese, kid cheese, whatever kind of cheese you have in your life. Letting your cheese get moldy makes for an eye-opening experience. All of a […]
