You Have Zombie Brain

Life can become mundane. Even performing at a high level, you can still fall into a rut or routine. Let’s be honest, we “execute” life more often than we live it. We go through the motions. Not always numb to the world, but falling prey to the groove of comfort and execution.   It’s not […]

Stepping Stones

“You don’t have to have it all figured out.  The decisions you make today do not need to control the rest of your life or even the rest of your career. Nothing is absolute and hardly ever final.  What you do now is merely a stepping stone to whatever is NEXT”.   These are the […]

One cockroach was harmed in the making of this chapter.

The Catholic Church that I go to has been under renovation for the past few months. Each Sunday, as I take a seat, I look around to see the changes from the previous week. The new carpet, hardwoods, upholstery, paint on the walls, etc. It was a pretty dated looking church when I started going, […]

Fish Tales

When I was a kid, I loved to fish. Fishing was pretty much my favorite thing. I loved baseball, football, riding my bike and fishing.  My mom and dad used to make the joke that if it wasn’t for class pictures, there wouldn’t be any pictures of me that didn’t also have a fish in […]

Why?

Why?     You know the close elevator doors buttons?  They don't actually work. Not since 1990 as part of legislation to allow wheelchairs enough time to get in. Yet, all of us, as we find ourselves in a hurry to get to work and avoid the smelly guy from riding in the same elevator, […]

Stand by Me

Sitting in bed, about to fall asleep and I stumble upon the movie Stand by Me. One of the few movies I still own on VHS and one that helped to define much of my childhood.  To be honest, I don't believe I have a way to watch any of the movies I own on […]

Everything I own fits in the back of a truck!

We have officially moved!   After several months of living in two cities and traveling back and forth between San Antonio and Houston, we are finally all under the same roof with all of our belongings. Now the challenge is to find that balance again as well as locate all the proper places in the […]

I do what I can

I may not be the best friend, boss, father, husband, brother, son or person in the world, but let it be known that I at least try. I wake up every morning with the desire to make an impact in someone’s life.  It doesn’t need to be a grand contribution, but I do try to […]

Shut up and Listen

Fun fact. I'm colorblind.   I also draw like a 4 year old kid and my fashion sense could be described as "challenged". Although I don't wear glasses, I have issues with putting together certain visuals. I'm great with the visualization of goals and purpose, but terrible at suggesting what color the bedroom needs to […]
