August 21, 2022 by

Speaking at a memorial service needs to hit home. Or don’t do it at all. I’m doing a short speech on a long boat three miles off shore. It’ll go like this:

PERMISSION SLIPS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED

February 20, 2022 by

Permission slips help clear the way forward. When you need one, it’s good to have, whether you’re asked to show it or not. In school it was a Hall Pass, the golden ticket out of the classroom. Do adults need a permission slip? And if so, for what?

HEALTH RECONCILIATION FOR THE COMEBACK WIN

November 23, 2021 by

What is health reconciliation but being able to look in the mirror and acknowledge who is looking back? If it sounds easy, then you’ve never been down the dark road of reconciliation, health or otherwise. The important thing is finding peace along the way.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE MEDAL OF COURAGE FOR DAN PATRICK

August 2, 2019 by

I don’t know why, but my wife isn’t a fan of sports talk radio. She says it’s all about men trying to sound angry enough to make their opinions seem to matter. I blame Jim Rome, one of my favorites over the years. How often do we hop in the car and she says, “Quick, […]
