Getting Your Best Beach Bod
These are clearly not me, and I may not be the world's foremost authority on this topic. My youngest son agrees with unfortunate consistency every time he tells me how much he loves my pudge. Better than hating it, I suppose! Either way, I can't and shouldn't measure this summer specimen of mine...
Four Phrases for Father’s Day
Here I am, about to celebrate this special day of dadding by preparing for a 17-hour mini-van trip around Lake Michigan! Exotic, you say? Well, yes, the endless construction and Wisconsin shoreline are quite lovely. No sarcasm at all. And although being pampered on a giant recliner throne while...
Be Thankful for What?
With the weather warming and all of us getting outside, there are so many things we can now see, hear, smell, and feel to be thankful for. Especially now that most of my spring yard work is behind me! Counting our blessings comes easy to us in spring, when cabin fever no longer renders them...
The Good Kind of Dependence
The Auto-feeder! Baby not included. Many of the young adults I've worked with are now at the age where they're having kids of their own...one just last week in fact! This brings back lots of precious baby memories and makes me head right for our family photos. And I found a gem I had forgotten...
The Wisdom of Our Youngers
TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, texting, and even Facebook are all things I've learned from young people. Snapchat was a hard pass. And as I meet new groups of students each year, I never cease to be amazed by how their lingering childhood informs our adulthood. As ancient as I sometimes feel, I...
“Don’t Judge Me” – Our Worst Enemy or Best Friend?
It's a phrase we all use. Sometimes as a joke when we have an oopsy, sometimes as a warning when we're threatened. "Don't judge me" may be silly or serious, but it's always a defense. An ubiquitous and even reflexive wall we throw up to guard us from something. But like eternally locking ourselves...
Wacky Quotes for Quick Wisdom
Since my wife and I started dating, we've maintained a quote book that we sporadically review for a few good laughs. But when we started making entries for our kids, we now enjoy many great laughs! As I peruse these today though, I'm realizing how much wisdom pours out of those (not so) little...
When YOU Need A Good Samaritan
Imagine this... There has been an accident in the middle of your local mall full of Christmas shoppers, leaving two of them injured. Your loved one is the first, actively bleeding to death. The second has a deep, painful gash in his finger that will also require medical care. You call out to the...
When You Don’t Want to…but You Must
You've almost certainly been there. For the sake of the greater good, you needed to have a conversation with someone. But you know it will be hard, as the topic is one people don’t often discuss. You try to anticipate how it will be received and therefore how to frame it helpfully, but you know...
Why Originality Means Everything!
Yep, that's me. Hangin' with starfish and kissin' a sea cucumber awhile back. Why? Well, there could be a lot of potential reasons I guess. The tour guide did tell me it would bring 7 years of good luck. And I hadn't been popular with the ladies for a good long time. Or maybe I happen to know...
