I just read RG Emanuelle’s blog and it rang so true. Finding things to blog about is hard sometimes. I chose the title Everyday Occurrences because that’s what I usually blog about those everyday funny bone moments when I say something silly (it’s usually me) and my wife starts laughing out loud. Here’s what happened a few… Read More Where Did I Put The Soap?
Normally birthdays are just another day. In my family, we didn’t focus on birthdays too much. Sure they were celebrated, but not with the same kind of fanfare that I saw sometimes in other families. Even the big ones like 16, 21, 25, 30, 40, and gasp 50, seemed to come and go with relatively… Read More Best Advancing of Another Year Ever
So Take A Look At Me Now….
I’m both nervous and excited right now because my second book just came out, called Asset Management. Whenever I’m nervous, songs run through my head. So the song that is currently running through my head is from the movie, Against All Odds. Anyone remember that movie? At one point someone said to me that… Read More So Take A Look At Me Now…
I had the honor and privilege to attend the 2015 GCLS conference.

My wife and I live apart during the week because she travels one way into Seattle and I work a completely opposite direction in Moses Lake. We ended up buying a condo in Moses Lake which is a small town in Eastern Washington. Apparently the lake is a big tourist draw. For the first… Read More Etiquette for Bumper Floaties
As I ponder the meaning of today (Independence Day), I am struck by how much this day pales in comparison to the historical moment when the Supreme Court decision same down on June 26th. I’ve always been somewhat bothered by the words in the Declaration of Independence because the founding fathers meant them in an… Read More What if Women Wrote the Declaration of Independence…
About seven years ago I agreed to attend a fundraiser for bicycle safety awareness and advocacy. My wife was out of town at the time, so I attended the event solo and met up with my Rainbow Riders bike group. The requisite silent auction with an eventual live auction for the major items was a… Read More The Trip of a Lifetime or a Drunken Auction Purchase – You Decide
Hip Hip Horray…. I had a blog all ready to go and then the amazing Supreme Court Decision came in today and I had to switch gears. I will admit that at first I was a little gun shy about marriage. Prior to marriage becoming legal in Washington State, I had been involved in… Read More Runaway Bride
