Thomas Akempis: Having A Humble Opinion of Self

TGIGF- Thank God It’s Good Friday
I have to admit that the older I get the more I tap into the spirit of TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday). I really enjoy the weekends. When I was younger, I was a little more driven work wise and now I am becoming a bit more of a homebody. Don’t break the rocking…

March Madness
Ran across this interview about the 1979 March Madness game. So in honor of winning both my home and office pool on this years tourney I thought I would post something a little different. For you hogs fans, 1979 was the year Bird and his team beat Arkansas on a lucky last minute shot.

Letters to Joshua: Sometimes You Win Sometimes You Lose
Dear Josh, Do you remember how you felt when we won the cake-decorating contest at the Cub Scout Banquet? Boy, there is nothing like winning. Very little compares to trying to do your best and coming out on top. The blue ribbon is something to be cherished. In this life you will not win every…

Are you Master of Your Domain?
I have to admit that I am a big Seinfeld fan. I wasn’t crazy about it before reruns. At first I didn’t get the significance of a show about nothing. I didn’t really know the characters so I didn’t watch it much. Once they put it in the dinner rerun slot we found ourselves watching…
