Blue Cast

June 26, 2011

Good Morning, It is a pretty common statement that you don’t miss something till it is gone.  The use of my left arm/hand these last few weeks brings that to light as I become a bit more dependent on others around me. Three weeks ago Thursday last (June 2, 2011), while stepping down from a [...]

Your God, My God…Good God!

April 10, 2011

Good Morning, This week son Michael posted a photo he took of the Texas Sky.  I found it not only beautiful in its colors and composition, but it also had that quality I refer to as “God Light”.   I’m pretty sure we all, or at least most of us, have seen similar moments where the [...]

No More “Free”

February 27, 2011

Good Morning, After reading a friends post (Alicia Arenas) this morning on “How to stop doing things for free”.  I began to think about what she said and how it applies so many times in our business.

Good Morning, This morning while enjoying the first cup of coffee and replying to a comment on last week’s blog post, Greg Brown came on XM Radio’s, Coffee House with “The Dream Café”. I liked this song from the first time I heard it. Maybe it was the meter or just the nuance in Greg’s [...]

Nightmares & Bad Dreams

February 13, 2011

Good Morning, Every child and a few adults I know, including myself have had “Nightmares” or otherwise called “Bad Dreams”, at one time or another. With adults, I would think they would be more prevalent at times of stress or brought on by a traumatic real life experience, relived again in the Land of Nod. [...]

Rolling Ball Clock w/Strike

Good Morning, It was January 1981 and we were living in Centerville, Ohio while I was attending the NCR Technical Center in Miamisburg.  Our stay would be for six months and if you are familiar with Ohio weather, much of it inside during the winter months.  It was during this time that I built this [...]
