Today, I’m waking up at the Bartz River House near Cascade, Montana, as the guest of one of my best friends, Tim Bartz. The coffee aroma has filled every nook and cranny as my taste buds light up with anticipation. I’m not sure what I’m more eager for — the coffee or the day fly […]
As I pulled out my favorite catch-all drawer at the cabin, I was dismayed that it was already overstuffed. Well, now I need to find another place to put this wrench. As I continue my “honey do’s,” (yes, CeCe has a long list of those for the cabin just like the house) I now need […]
Buckle up and let me take you on a wild ride through the concrete jungle we call highways. Stuck in a mile-long jam on a four-lane highway, I have a poor guy in the parking lot on my right side trying to make a left turn across our two lanes of traffic and into the […]
A dear friend and business colleague once roasted me to a large group about my coaching him on his blind spots. I cried with laughter as he described the pain of these coaching sessions. Frankly, it is painful, yet it is one of the best ways to grow as a person and a professional. I’m […]
“Pops you are overreacting,” says Davis my 17-year-old grandson. He helps me manage my fantasy football team and it’s Tuesday morning after week one. We lost all three games we played in.

Ouch! Oh no, the yellow jacket is stuck to my right ear as I slap and pull him off. Just as I throw him down, there’s another one popping my right hand. Bailing out of the utility room at my cabin, I lay down a stream of wasp spray at a few other aggressive yellow […]
We are still in Alaska enjoying our bucket list trip, and today we have chosen to do some short hikes and sightseeing. We have just taken the tram up the side of the mountain so we can explore the peak. We notice some people who are wearing safety harnesses as we are standing in line […]
Sir, did you pay with a card? Hearing this being shouted in the Kroger parking lot as I put my last bag of groceries into the truck, I turn and push my buggy to the buggy return section. Turning back around, I hear it again, Sir, did you pay with a credit card? Here comes […]
CeCe and I are so blessed to be on one of our bucket list trips this week. We are on day two in Alaska as we sit beside a blazing campfire on the Kenai River. Now if you are from Mississippi or anywhere in the southeast in August, the thought of the campfire alone is […]
Last week, I shared about our loss of “Happy,” CeCe’s mom. The funeral service and celebration of her life was in Natchez, MS, her home for the first 78 years. We traveled the two hours on a Friday afternoon and checked into Dunleith Historic Inn, where we stayed for the Saturday morning services. As CeCe […]
