The Nature of Things
Two days ago, I opened the door from the house to the garage to head out and get some things done. I glanced down, and it looked like Peter Rabbit stepped on a land mine. There was a back rabbit’s foot, some intestines, a liver, some fur, and a ton of blood on the garage…

Too Easy
Compared to people who lived 300 years ago, The 1920s with electricity and indoor plumbing being close to commonplace, life would seem easy. Today, life probably seems easy compared to the 1920s. What will the future generations think about how we live today? Will it be, “I can’t believe you used to have to drive…

Chapter 16 and More
I’m just going to be honest. If time were a person, I’d crack him in the knees with a tire iron so he could not move as fast. Chapter 16 is finally done, but it took way too long for my liking. I was too busy hurrying to get other things done, and I never took the…

A Dying Breed
I was listening to The Highway on SiriusXM the other day and Miranda Lambert’s Automatic came on. The song made me feel rather old, but that is not always a bad thing. While not getting into my perception of the meaning of the song, it does describe a slower pace of life before our current…

The Problem With Logic
The problem with logic is that no one uses it. Sure, we do not want a bunch of Vulcan-like people who have no emotion, but we also do not want a bunch of idiots running around doing everything but something that makes sense. One of the biggest errs in logical thinking is thinking everyone follows…

More Important Things
It has been a while since I have posted anything or written any words for the upcoming “The Amanai Deception” book. Bluntly, there have been more important things in life right now. Our youngest son just had spinal fusion surgery with rods put in his back a little over a week ago. These past ten…

Real Life
Some people asked me why I modeled some of the main characters off of the real life us. There were several reasons; vanity not being one of them. Realism: I wanted the characters to be as real as possible. I wanted the backstory and character development to be as real as possible. Obviously, not everything…

Better Than Perceived
I just got back from attending Microsoft TechEd in Houston, Texas. That is why there were no posts for a week. It was a great experience with a lot learned. Much has changed since my first TechEd in 2007. The trip down was a little crazy. My flight was cancelled to Atlanta because of a…

If I Could Save Time in a Bottle….
I have to admit, I love that song (“Time in a Bottle”) by Jim Croce. But what would I do if I could save time in a bottle? How would I use it? Would I use it to live forever or give it to others who’s time is shortened by disease? I would love to…

Setting Expectations
I am all about setting expectations. I want to know what people want and expect from me up front. I want to make sure I return the gesture. When my wife and I started dating, I made sure I could stand her and liked her well enough on the first date. After that part was…
