When I was younger time seemed infinite while money looked finite. I remembered going to multiple grocery stores to save 25 cents here or 50 cents there. I did so without much regard for the time it took. As I got older I understood the importance of time better. I realized that time was finite [...]

I recently saw a Primetime show in which Diane Sawyer interviewed a Carnegie Mellon University’s professor, Randy Pausch. He delivered the famed “Last Lecture” that continues to garner interest as people discover his life and legacy message. Here is one advice among many: “Don’t bail; the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap.”

I love going to arts and crafts festivals with family and friends. It is a superb venue to have fantastic fun, eat fair-style food, and find fabulous bargain.

It is time for spring cleaning – packing away the winter wear and unfolding the spring collection. Move the old; make room for the new.

A ferocious storm blew through my neighborhood last night leaving much destruction and debris in its wake. This morning I saw one of my neighbors helping the other to remove fallen tree limbs from the lawn. After finishing that laborious task both men went around our streets to see if they can help other neighbors.

Procrastination ails us in one degree or another. Some people suffer from this malady incessantly while others have found effective treatments to tame this beast. I do not believe you can cure procrastination nor that you want to because like anything in existence it serves a purpose too.

I do not personally know of anyone born on February 29 or April 1. I wonder what it feels like to be officially older once every fourth year or be the butt of practical jokes and pranks on your birthday.
This year one of my new colleagues has an April Fools birthday. I will serenade [...]
