Janet, Jared and Isabella took a quick trip with some friends to Sanibel for a few days of R & R over a recent three day weekend.  Isabella came back with some starfish and a story for me that was just simply so cute, I had to publish it.  I’ve always cherished each moment from [...]

I moved out of Maitland, which I have described as the purgatory of my life.  However, now that I’m back in downtown Orlando, I happened to come across this old draft in my blog archives which I thought I’d launch.  I thought you might like it. —————————————————————————————————————————————————- I got a note today, in this office building [...]

  So, I thought this was so cute, it had to get published.  Since Jordan, at 16, and Jared, at 13, are feeling stronger as they get older,  the challenge of dealing with a young 8 year old fire brand who balances all of us out in psychic strength has escalated. As I was pontificating on that very subject throughout [...]

I was in the midst of the work of the day when I got an urgent phone call on my office voicemail. It told me to call back right away. I didn’t have a chance at that moment, but I thought I’d better call back quickly. I didn’t get the opportunity.  Before I could break, [...]

So, one of the blogs I missed publishing during this last year was the homecoming we had for our sophomore (now a Junior). It was an incredible affair. We actually had a bunch of parents and many of the sophomores over to the house for pictures, refreshments and appetizers, and a most unbelievable picture-taking extravaganza. Mind you: it [...]

I was thinking several months ago when I first drafted this blog about an incredible passage from Dante Alighieri’s Inferno.  It sounded like this (pardoning the misspellings and grammar):  “Nel’ Medso Del Camin’ Di Nostra Vita, Mi Recevai in una Selva Oscura Dove La Via Era Smarrita.” I translate it loosely as:  “In the middle of the [...]

I saw my last article in Life In Business. I called it, An Open Letter to President Obama. What surprised me, however, was that I had published it October 31, 2010 . . . 2010? That was over 10 months ago. As I saw it on my blog, a blog I recently rechristened “Our Life in [...]

Significance usually produces success, at some level. . .and at some moment in time, and maybe even more; but not vice versa.  Success does not necessarily produce significance! It’s always been my great desire to produce both, even if not simultaneously.

Janet and I had dinner with a friend of ours at our house tonight.     It was one of those spontaneous things on a Sunday night that simply came from one thing or another and lent to having dinner.  She is divorced with minor children and is talking about somebody she had met a [...]

If ever I’d thought that deluge would roar;      That blistering blizzard of sleet. . . If ever I’d thought those winds would blow;      Those ravaging waves complete!    Could I ever have thought I’d deliver us all;      With safe passage through that heat? What arrogance would I have shown;      As if it was [...]
