Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
I know, One-Liners are supposed to be on Wednesday, but, I think you will appreciate this diversion from the normal path. Two weeks ago, I attended a business meeting in St. Augustine, Florida. One of the things I like about this meeting, is that we can freely talk about things going on in our business,... Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, on my way home from Iowa, I had a 2 ½ hour layover in Detroit. That’s a long time between flights. I checked my email, caught up on some blog posts, and I walked. We’re having a walking contest at work, so I figured I could get some steps in. The sun... Continue Reading →
Last month, when I was in San Antonio for the AIIM Conference, the conference hotel was right on the River Walk. I knew I’d get to see some this self-proclaimed “world famous destination” but I wasn’t sure how much of a tour I could squeeze in. Cheryl suggested that I take the barge tour. That...

As you know, the Cherished Blogfest happened this weekend. One of my jobs was to send an email to the people who participated last year. I... Continue Reading →
During a recent trip to Pittsburgh, we stopped to visit my mother’s grave. We were driving out of the cemetery when I spied this. I had to back up and snag a picture. I thought I’d have to hang onto it for a long time before finding a use, but Cee changed my plans. Her... Continue Reading →
Huh? Dan doesn’t do awards. Well, truth be told, Dan almost always does plans to thinks about doing wishes he had done – Oh, who am I kidding, Dan doesn’t do awards. So, why on earth is the first and likely only award I’m ever going to deal with, is one where I was nominated... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, I’d be trying to keep a secret from you. “I don’t think there’s a barman on duty today.” “Cheryl’s on duty. She’s probably in the back. Barman, what’s that all about?” “Sorry, I’m trying to use words with ‘man’ in them.” “Why?” “Actually, it’s your fault.” “How’s that?” “Your... Continue Reading →
