A SHERO AMONG US? LOOK AROUND

“Do you need a shero?” That’s the question. And I have the answer: “Yes.” For those in the back, “THE ANSWER IS YES, YOU NEED A SHERO.” Here’s why:

OVERCOME LIFESTYLE? YOU CAN DO IT

The overcome lifestyle asks one question: can you overcome? When every day feels like an overcome lifestyle day, it gets tough. Can you overcome? There are no wrong answers.

MODERN TRAVEL BY THE NUMBERS

Modern travel is a miracle, the sort of miracle too many ignore. Even thinking about the logistics makes me want to never leave the garage. Somehow it all hooks up, but when it doesn’t, doubt creeps in. Doubt and travel are not good companions.

LIFE SAVING FOR THE GIVERS AND TAKERS

Life saving is more than a job at the swimming pool. It’s an everyday deal of doing small things that go unnoticed, until it matters. Then it’s everything. Where are the life savers when you need them, the people who take the time even when they’re running late? Who are these people? I think you […]

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM FROM JIMMY TO MARVIN TO MADISON SHANLEY

New beginnings around here start with anticipation anxiety, sleepless nights, and carefully moving forward. Does that sound like your standard operating procedure, your SOP? It’s one thing when it’s on the job, another when it’s just you and you’re got an idea you want to figure out. Instead of the trusted steps of 1, 2, […]

DO YOUR BEST WORK, OR DO BETTER WORK

Your best work is your calling card, the thing that best identifies you. But doing your best is a tricky proposition, especially if your best work was an accident. It happens online all the time. Some twitter user with a few hundred fans posts what they think is their usual tweet, but it strikes a […]

MOVING ON WHEN YOU’RE THE LAST TO KNOW

Plans for moving on depend on timing: Don’t go too soon, or wait too long. If you’ve picked up and changed locations by yourself, you know the drill. Sometimes it works out better than expected. Then there’s this:

ACCEPTABLE LOSSES? WHO DECIDES FOR BOOMERS

Acceptable losses are like minor surgery. There’s no such things as minor surgery, just minor surgeons. Or, it’s minor surgery if it’s someone else going under the knife. Losses are the same. The closer you are, the less acceptable the loss.
