Work brought me to the East Coast recently allowing me a brief visit with my cousins in Pennsylvania. Their seven-year-old son, Jack, graciously gave up his room for the night, providing me a place to stay.

I was surrounded by everything that makes being six [...]
Don’t worry. I’ll keep out of a lot of the politics currently taking place over the complexity of the situation in Libya. I have my own personal viewpoints, but I won’t use today’s blog to post them.

So I shoveled snow for the first time in my life today. I know some of you who grew up in the midwest and northeast are perhaps a bit angry at me, but it’s the truth. I grew up in California and now live in Arizona. While I’ve been to the snow, I’ve never had [...]
