I ran across a post that made me think. A guy named Robert Miller shared it on his Facebook page. I don’t really know Rob, but we’re “friends.” Typical, right? Ugh, I won’t go down that path. I have other points to harp on today. I did meet him at a Marty Gallagher seminar at

Three years will have passed on May 18th — half the span of her short life — and the heartbreak of losing Roo has not lessened. I wouldn’t want it to, so this is in some ways a self-fulfilling observation. But I’m not really buying that. Purposefully wallowing doesn’t have anything to do with my

All this outrage over participation trophies in youth sports has me puzzled. They’re not new, you know? I collected a few all the way back in the 1970s — when parents were all supposedly hard asses who wouldn’t dream of coddling their kids — and in backwards-ass West Virginia, no less, where political correctness and

Foreign policy and terrorism are weighing on my mind this morning. Might as well get these thoughts out of my head so I can move on with my day. I like violent sports – football and boxing – not because of the gamesmanship and skill of many of the participants. I could care less about

That title is not some creative metaphor for how life is about overcoming obstacles. It’s about an actual fire. Ok, maybe just smoke and not a raging inferno, but stories are always better when you exaggerate a little. An author who shall go unnamed – but since he’s the only author I know you can probably

Two weeks in and I’m already slacking on the blogging. I suppose there’s a good reason my friend and longtime powerlifting coach, Marty Gallagher, nicknamed me the “Master of Rest and Recovery.” I do like balance in life. For every hour worked, I recommend three or four hours of rest. Work is hard. If it’s physical

Disclaimer: this one is a little graphic. I don’t mean to offend any of my three loyal readers, but I don’t want to censor myself either. Please read at your own discretion and, in the spirit of the great tradition of vacation bible schools that are getting underway in big and small towns across the country, try not

VP of Human Resources: Whaddaya say we tap a keg in the break room to improve employee morale? It’ll keep everybody feeling loose and happy; might even encourage a few staff love connections. CEO: Good idea! Imagine how much more productive we’ll be with all the positive vibes from a light buzz. And vending machine sales are guaranteed to sky
