After I was arrested for grand theft in my late teens, I was stuck sitting in the county jail for a few days. My cellmate was another teenager who was there for possession of marijuana. We were both rather depressed, scared, and uncertain about what fate would befall us. Jail can be a gloomy place [...]
On Thursday a good friend and fellow Toastmaster named Ron Lewison was in a serious car accident. He was rushed to the hospital, but his injuries were too severe, including a broken pelvis and a punctured lung. Shortly after his family arrived, he passed away. He was 69 years old and is survived by his [...]
It’s amazing how much time and energy people waste stressing over money, reacting to financial setbacks as if money is life itself.
For my son Kyle’s 5th birthday earlier this month, he received the board game Trouble as one of his gifts. The game involves mostly luck plus a small amount of skill (easy enough for [...]
It was really interesting to see the full spectrum of reactions to my last post about Coaching and Consultations. I expected this would be a polarizing post for some people, so the reactions weren’t surprising.
On the one hand, some people said it was a mistake to charge $500 per hour because that price was way [...]

These are good questions. I [...]
Since I keep getting questions about this, here’s a quick update about my ongoing experiences eating a 100% raw food diet.
Mental benefits
The raw food diet has been going wonderfully for me. My thinking is clearer than it’s ever been. Several people have commented that I’ve written some of my best articles ever this month. I’ve [...]
Some miscellaneous updates and news to share…
Twitter
My Twitter trial is going well. There are 600+ people following me on Twitter so far (my blog obviously bestows an advantage there). I’ve shared some links as well as various minor updates.
I’m grateful for the helpful advice from fellow Twitterers (Tweeters? Twits?). For example, one person told me [...]
Changing a habit is like playing a game of chess.
