Steve

Our epic journey begins as a tribute to one of the best men I’ve had the privilege of knowing, my brother Steve. When he lost his battle to cancer on January 1, the world lost a fine renaissance man. He left so many things behind, this is my celebration of his life in this explorationContinue reading “Steve”

Joy

This apt title encompasses the fun I had with my beloved niece to celebrate her graduation from college. She chose our path to experience her European roots and we had an epic adventure viewing the many ancient sites of northern England and historic nooks and crannies of Wales. What an absolute delight of have thisContinue reading “Joy”

I took the opportunity to visit old friends, beloved dear ones that I have greatly missed since theyContinue reading “Road Trip”

Self-care

Although I have always cared for myself (regular chiropractic care, healthy eating, exercise, rest, plenty of fresh air and water, as I have always recommended to others), the magnitude of this injury has required extended rest, rehab and focus, which, whileContinue reading “Self-care”

You’ve been asking

So many of you have asked how I’m doing in retirement, although most of you know how much I dislike the term “retirement”. I always want to be productive, feel like I am adding value to life while I’m here. It was time for me to stop running the office but I will always thinkContinue reading “You’ve been asking”
