The Wave of a Hand

Tonight I was headed back to the airport after a successful, and much needed day in the Bay. I came up to have a meeting with a new customer, spent some time with a few office colleagues and then met up with my daughter Imani at her work. Then the two of us went out …

Things Not Adding Up: Need for Authentic Relationship

Yesterday, I had a God encounter, and it disturbed me… Still does… It was about 95 degrees out, I was comfortably in my car, pulling out of a shopping center parking lot. I was driving slow, as there were various people walking around me. As I was about to make the turn out, I was …

Avoiding the stampede for office leftovers…

The email caught me offguard. I was in the zone, under pressure to get a particular assignment done. I had polished off my healthy breakfast of oatmeal (ok, maybe it wasn’t so healthy, as it had sugar), and was focused on work. “Food – Come to the 4th floor kitchen behind XXXX conference room!” Without …

Cheers… Well, Not Really, But Close…

Whenever I go to Reno for business, I always make a point of having breakfast at Peg’s Glorified Ham n Eggs.  The food is excellent, and if you are a bacon lover like me (sorry, J 🙂 ), it is paradise. What astounds me, however, is not the enormous amount of food that I can never …

In Praise of Older Things…

Ok, I admit it. I am a technogeek. I’ve always loved technology, progressive stuph, newer, better faster, etc. I’m a Boomer only by age, but more of a Buster and X-er in personality. I jumped on the online bandwagon with Xanga, then Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and of course, Kid Stuph. I love new stuph… However, …

Handing out the lemons…

Lemons. You really gotta love ’em. In fact, my son loves them so much he eats them like oranges. Personally, I think he’s crazy, but I admit he gets his craziness from me. I end up using them a lot in cooking, and having a lemon tree in the backyard is a definite plus. One …
