Day 19,564
I had a pretty good day yesterday, and I have friends, my son, and my spouse to thank for it. I am a 53-year-old man, but there are still a number of interests I hang on to that are strong ties to my youth. When I was in high school, in the late 70’s, I …

Day 19,563
Did my necessaries this morning, swapping out my fb profile picture for that of a happy donkey, and expressed my gratitude for the safe return of my wife from her business sojourn to the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes. In about an hour, my son and I get to head west to the Kansas state capitol …

Trying to change one’s habits can be challenging. Part of the trick, in my opinion, is to focus on making those changes first thing in the morning. It’s a bit of that “Eat That Frog” philosophy that you can read about in Brian Tracy’s book of the same name. For most of my adult life, …

If you’re reading this and you know me, you know a few things. I’m technical. I’ve been a Microsoft Certified Trainer for a long time now (just renewed to start year 23), and I enjoy working with people that want to learn. Ths past week I was quite fortunate. I was teaching a class that …

Day 19,560
A bit of a rarity here in my household. My wife is traveling on business, but both of my daughters decided to come by the house tonight for this and that, and I have all three kids here (Bonnie, 20; Gracie, 19; Dane, 15) and nobody is fighting! Bon is having a little computer trouble …

Congrats to the Tarheels and Roy Williams. It broke my heart when you left Lawrence so many years ago, but we were fortunate to land our feet with Bill Self. I’m confident that he’ll get KU back to the top of the mountain in the coming seasons. After all, Dean Smith was in his 60’s …

I have decided to join #WriteChain, and I am now committing to writing 200 words per day in my blog. One of the things I am pursuing as a goal is developing better habits, and I’m hopeful that making this commitment will help me along that path. Among the topics that I can/should/will write about: …

Day 19,557
I’m going to try something new, and, hopefully, it will stick. I was listening to John Fugelsang’s show in Insight SiriusXM (channel 121) the other day. He brought up this idea that human beings living an average lifespan of 30,000 days. I decided to calculate how many days I have spent on this plane of existence and …

January 1, 2016. Time to once again…
… make a plan to get my collective crap together. Some days, I’m not sure who I respect more – folks who make elaborate plans for the New Year and freely share their goals or those who keep quiet, make a few simple goals for the year and stick to them. I have a few …

Closing out 2015, a thought stream
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening where ever you may be. A couple of years ago, I lost my domain. I had owned the domain piercingblue.com for a number of years, and in a little piece of miscommunication between me and my web-services provider, that domain somehow ended up in the hands of some Chinese …
