Learning to Learn = Super Hero!
09June
“LEARN TO LEARN” is the last thought I finish my speeches when I’ve done my Career Day presentations.
This is the reason I do so many things with my daughters (most of which are free). I want them to feel like they can learn anything. It’s usually all skill based and just requires time and commitment.

How and why do I do so many things?
Click play and hear me talk a bit about why I do why I do. Why is this so important to me.

Management, Parenting, Leadership (all basically the same thing)
04June
It’s all the same. Really. I shit you not. Some may argue with some of the specifics and they would have a marvelous time doing so with themselves. When I was in management (15 years or so) I couldn’t help but feel like I was parenting on some scale. Do this. Don’t do that. Oh, wait! Now you need to go into the corner. Clean up after yourself. Clean up after the customers. Wear...

I miss them.
I still call them my daughter. My son. I was their daddy. They called me daddy. Things happened. Life happened. I’m still involved… as much as I can. It’s my duty as father. As a man. Now they call me by name. When asked about them by my friends I still get tongue tied. How do I refer to them? As my girls’ big brother and sister? My first daughter and son? My former step...

My mornings
19March
The light eventually punches through the blinds and I open my eyes. Eventually. Most days my mind wakes me before my body is truly ready to rise. I find it funny most days. Other days I want to punch my mind. It took me years to realize that I have a very particular way to wake up and be ready to take on the day’s challenges. It took me years to honor my body. I tried to force it to do...
