Today is my special sensational sweetheart's special birthday!  She was born in Peoria, AZ this day in 1954.  She moved with her parents and brother to Santa Ana, CA in the summer of 1966 when Orange County was still covered with strawberry fields!  She was the first family member to graduate fro...

During the second half of June I was honored to be served by my good friend, Lt. Col.

Freedom - What a wonderful word!  Our Founding Fathers of the United States, including where I live in Garden City, a city within Boise, Idaho, had us in their hearts and minds back in 1776.  They chose to fight for freedom from the tyranny of England.  All of our courageous soldiers from that ti...

My father lived to be almost 79.  He was my provider and protector as I grew up and became a man. He modeled for me how to be strong, loving, caring, kind and giving.  I saw him love my mother for 54 years of marriage.  He taught me how to be faithful and true to my wife. He always honored and pr...

My wife and I had the honor of watching our son Chris give his second speech at Toastmasters today!  I missed his first one because I was required to be at another seminar. Our son was spectacular!  He was animated, passionate, clear, concise and authentic.  He can teach my wife and me how to be ...
