Well, here we are in our new “reality”. After 20 years of traveling in airplanes, staying in hotels, eating in restaurants, riding in cabs, and living on the road, everything has changed. Now it’s “watch what you touch”, wear your mask, socially distance (whatever that means), stay at home, and stay healthy. Well, if your […]

Time for a little self assessment! Are you happy right now? I’ve asked this question a thousand times, so I know the answer: I guess so! I guess so? Definition of guess: to estimate or suppose (something) without sufficient information to be sure of being correct. Wow! If you entered a room that didn’t have […]

…as long as you put your best foot forward! All of us do things in our youth that, upon reflection, might not have been a great idea. I am no exception. It started out innocently enough… A friend of mine and I (who will remain anonymous, but you know who you are) would go to […]
So Get up offa that Thing and Dance—You’ll Feel Better! Every now and then, I am struck with a conundrum, and whether you believe it or not, so are you. Do I get up? I am not talking about when that annoying alarm goes off in the morning. That’s why they invented the snooze alarm. […]
