  • The GAP Method

    The GAP Method

    Recently I read through a negative exchange on Google+ that reminded me that I need to write this blog post.

Digging A Ditch

Posted in: Uncategorized|March 19, 2012

This post is about ditch digging. When I was in high school the motivational statement my folks used to encourage me to go to college went something like this: “If you don’t go to college you’ll be a ditch-digger.” Oh, this statement sounds familiar to you too?

A Wild Story About … Baby Clothes?

Posted in: Uncategorized|November 5, 2011

My first wife, Deborah, saved lots and lots of our children’s clothes as they grew up.
