Japanese Organizing Techniques
A couple weeks ago I watched Shogun, a miniseries set in Japan in the early 1600s. Something about British v. Portuguese trying to control the trade routes and colonize Japan, I think, while also navigating the thousand years of Japanese fighting and politics. The story… Continue Reading “Japanese Organizing Techniques”
Dunbar’s Number and Angel Whispers
I think about my friends a lot. I think about former co-workers a lot. I think about family members a lot. And when I think about these people, my mind races with thoughts of, “I should text so-and-so,” or, “I wonder how the heck… Continue Reading “Dunbar’s Number and Angel Whispers”
The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #6: Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
In the ’80s, teenagers were faced with a musical fork-in-the-road. Before the ’80s, it was a Top-40 dominated world and most artists tried to make songs that landed them in the American Top-40. For most people, if a song was on the radio and… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #6: Losing My Religion by R.E.M.”
I’m Going to Lose Weight and Be In Great Shape
I’m going to lose weight. I’m going to lose so much weight and be in such great shape, you won’t believe it. My stomach will be flat. I’ll start running 5Ks and sprint triathlons, again. I’ll work up to 100 push-ups at a time.… Continue Reading “I’m Going to Lose Weight and Be In Great Shape”
Take “greens” on an Empty Stomach
Over the years, I’m sure I didn’t void all the benefits of daily greens by taking them “with food.” But that’s what I was doing. I’m a multivitamin-guy and I come from a multivitamin-family. My Mom swore by multivitamins and before it was cool… Continue Reading “Take “greens” on an Empty Stomach”
The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #7: Somebody That I Used to Know
I was lucky. My parents had a wonderful, normal, healthy relationship. I met my soulmate when I was 15 and started dating her when I was 18 (going on 19) and we’ve been together ever since. She’s normal. SHw as normal then. And is… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #7: Somebody That I Used to Know”
2025 Goals Check-In, Month-1
I’m totally stealing this from author, speaker, storyteller, teacher, all-around-great-guy and guru, Matthew Dicks. I envy him and idolize him. For years, he publicly lists all his goals and then, equally publicly, updates his progress. Good and bad. Successes and failures. It’s what makes… Continue Reading “2025 Goals Check-In, Month-1”
Super Bowl Halftime Should Have a Pop-Up Video or Manning Cast Option
I’m old. Not really, but when it comes to modern hip-hop, I’m as old as my uncles were in 1985 when they would “beat box” at family gatherings and say, “that’s all rap is,” …and they’d make puh, puh, huff, huff sounds. Kendrick Lamar… Continue Reading “Super Bowl Halftime Should Have a Pop-Up Video or Manning Cast Option”
Signature Brands, Part 1: Shave Cream
My shaving life has been torture on my face and neck. When I started shaving, I think I used Barbasol. And for my teens and 20s, and into my 30s, my post-shave life was filled with acne, sensitive skin, razor burn and rashes. I… Continue Reading “Signature Brands, Part 1: Shave Cream”
The Top-10 Songs of all (My) Time, Part 3
It’s important to the world-at-large that I finish this project where I tell you my favorite ten songs of all time.
