I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Sorry, but I’m not Irish. Not even a wee bit. One of my best friends who is from Belfast doesn’t celebrate it either. So at least I am in good company. That is not to say I haven’t had my share of...

I’m told with great regularity that I am an extremely creative guy. I usually just shrug my shoulders, largely because I don’t know how to be any other way. As Jessica Rabbit once said, “I was just drawn that way.” I thought I was just born that way. But now I have...

I was blissfully unaware until recently that the 10 Commandments have a lot of fine print. Archeologists recently unearthed a second copy of the Commandments, one that was still intact. In a nod to the future computer age, it seems that God chose to back up his files....

I love cheeseburgers. I never seem to get tired of them. In fact, I could have one or two every day and be a very happy man. I had five cheeseburgers in a day once, even. I know, that seems a bit excessive, but I was young and didn’t really know my limitations....

For a middle-old guy, I’m pretty Internet savvy. I have been an early adopter of new ideas such as Facebook and Twitter. I have my Pinterest invite waiting in the wings, though I haven’t had the time to play with it. Apparently, I am more Internet savvy...

My friends have been having a terrible time keeping track of me as of late. I seem to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. My friends in Florida think I’m still there, while my Washington friends are both delighted and mystified that I am back in Seattle...

It’s funny how you sometimes don’t realize who you really are when you’re unhappy. You can even delude yourself into believing you are actually happy, even though on the inside you are dying. I only know this because that’s what was happening...

I used to like to get to school early. Actually, I like to get to everything early still, be it work or an event. There are simple reasons for this, at least simple to me. When I was in the working world, I would get to work an hour early so that I could enjoy some...
