Where have all the payphones gone?
Kids do say the darndest things — often declarations or questions that inspire everything from barely-contained-giggles when what they say is just not right, to full out belted laughter. And then sometimes they say things that just plain make you feel, well…old. On just a casual outing a few weekends agao, Royce passed what we, apparently old [...]

8. November 2009
In the summer of ‘86 there was a great Wall Street Journal (hereinafter WSJ) article written about a Frozen Custard Stand in Lafayette, Indiana. I was 13 at the time.

What an incredible story of an unexpected gift. Although Phoenix cab driver Tom Chappell insists he always knows where he’s [...]

I’m in a blogging rut. Big time. It’s been like two postings in about three weeks. Writing this is an important part of my life, for reasons I don’t fully understand.

24. August 2009
Last week has been incredibly busy, as you can tell from a blogging absence of EIGHT days (cringe!) with a lot of work activity along with business travel, some volunteering with the Olympia Hands On Children’s Museum, and then finally a bit of a personal vacation that started this week (but I’m headed to Portland [...]
