Front Row Seat at Life

August 17, 2008 – 12:46 pm

I love that my daughters have the same persistent curiosity about life that my wife and I have. This afternoon’s birthday party had my daughters nudging the other kids for the front row seat at the backyard, portable petting zoo. They love exploring new things.
Here is the run down:
Donkey
Turtles
Rabbits
Chicks
Ducks
Goat
Sheep
Rooster
Piglets
Time to get back on the waterslide [...]

Tidbits of Wisdom from a 50-Year-Old

June 12, 2008 – 9:51 pm

I had the distinct privilege of hanging out with one of my Florida buddies for his birthday last night. He celebrated his birthday in the morning as he does every year with a no-hands front-flip.
Kevin Conklin is unique both in that he looks 40 instead of 50, and that he is in better shape than most people [...]

Grandmother 2.0

March 26, 2008 – 10:06 am

(Mom, I know you are reading this, but I just had to blog this.)
So while laying in the bath (don’t picture it) catching up on my email on my iPhone this morning I get this from my Skype-friendly mother:
>> I noticed that your location on Twitter is still Frisco. I enjoy
>> reading it. Did you [...]

Settling In In West Palm Beach, Florida

September 13, 2007 – 3:12 pm

West Palm Beach, Florida is a fantastic place to begin my next phase in ministry. Settling in at this church has been easy, and the staff has been more than welcoming. For me, as expected, it has been easy. Ashley on the other hand has had to deal with keeping the kids for long periods [...]

What is RAGBRAI?

August 24, 2007 – 2:44 pm

“What is RAGBRAI” is a question worth answering. I will be riding it at the end of next July. Wikipedia says one thing and the RAGBRAI web site says another, but let me give you my version.
It’s buses and buses and buses of people. It’s the craziest costumes you will hopefully ever see. It’s bike [...]

From Bubble Graphs to Mind Maps

April 6, 2007 – 4:56 am

Bubble Graphs
I can honestly say there are almost no learning techniques from Jr. High that I have carried forward through my short academic life into business. However, there is one gift that a now nameless, faceless teacher once gave me. That gift was the ability to put my thoughts on paper first, and then dork [...]

Google Calendar

December 14, 2006 – 10:45 am

Use Google Calendar. Much like a MacBook, it will make you happy and change the way you do life. Then, share your calendar with me so I will know when you are available to have Starbucks or Skype.
If you don’t have a gmail account yet, you are a loser and lack perspective. Use it… it [...]

German Purity Law

September 21, 2006 – 3:58 pm

Another beer post… I recently saw reference to the “German Purity Law” and thought it was some kind of moral code against illicit material or something. As seen below, it is actually a law about beer making. So, German companies, make war or peace in whatever adulterated way is necessary, but don’t you dare mess [...]
