To think, 10-weeks ago, I had this small part of me that envied guys who travel on business. I know, I know, they all say, “it’s hell”, but then they share stories about things they’ve seen and airports they hate and I think, “well,… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: Traveling (and Suffering)”
So I guess it’s time I just admit it …I’m a traveling salesman. I pack a suit case, hop a flight, stay at random hotels, rent cars, and sometimes I forget which floor I’m on and what my room number is. In the past… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: Traveling and Selling”
I don’t mind that my daughter is texting me at work while she’s home sick. In fact, I kinda enjoy it. It’s nice to text back and forth with her and she’s getting to be such a big girl. It’s been a nice nine-and-a-half… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: Being a Jerk (but the good kinda jerk)”
I wish I could fly through space like Superman in reverse of the Earth’s rotation and go back in time and change things from last week. But I can’t. I wish I had words or deeds at my disposal that could make the parents,… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: #26actsofkindness, #26aok, #26acts, 26 Acts of Kindness”

Recently, some people have scolded me for this “44 Days of Ties” experiment and pointed out, hey, you aren’t actually wearing ties for 44 days in a row. Guilty. I had high hopes that I could do that, but turns out, with the varying… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 18)”
In honor of the presidential election I’m wearing what I call my “campaign tie”. Red, white, and blue. This one, in all honesty, might actually be a little too wild for even a presidential candidate to wear. It’s by J.S. Blank & Co., which… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 17)”
I’m trying some new things with my writing and my social media …namely, I’m going to start using Tumblr a whole lot more. I can’t find a ton of people to follow on Tumblr, but if you leave your Tumblr blog URL in the… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 16)”
Here’s an interesting tie. It says it’s from Neiman Marcus, and I don’t shop there. I don’t even have the guts to say, “I got this tie at Neiman’s” as if I’m too cool to say “Marcus.” However, my wife tells me she’s “awesome”… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 15)”
