Like many others, I have a lot of memories of my father. Many of them deal with his teaching us to work and support ourselves and families. He once told me about his return from WWII and his issues dealing with coming back. My brother had been born when he was overseas and I was […]
Thanks to my publcist Rachel Anderson, http://www.rmapublicity.com/ I was interviewed by Jordana Green on WCCO radio Friday night. Her topic was jobs for college graduates and she asked me about my experiences. Jordana also pitched my book “Connecting Peace, Purpose & Prosperity” which has my persona experiences of jobs and how I overcame obstacles to be […]
A friend of mine used to say “a man gets his biggest raise when the dog dies and the kids leave home!” In my case he was right as evidenced by my kids asking why I didn’t finish the basement rec room when they were home. Easy answer: I couldn’t afford it then! But I […]
By now I think we have all hear about the New York policeman who gave the shoes to the homeless guy. His action was praised by everyone in the news, the internet, and by his peers. It seemed like a good thing to do! Sadly, we later learned that the homeless guy was not wearing […]

In my last article I talked about selfishness and how it can affect “having it all:. This article is another look at what having it all may mean. Back to AA again, the primary goal of AA in addition to stopping drinking and drugging is to find serenity. I believe that is what we really […]
Seems this is a recurring theme, especially for women. But I think men “want it all” too. As I understand it the issue is that folks want a great career, great family and success in general. That seems like a good goal for everyone. The problem is in finding a way to get there. I […]
If you are reading this you must have a computer and at least some computer skills. You may know how to type or are getting by with the “hunt and p[peck” system. That being the case, you can write your story for your family! The computer has made it possible for any of us. […]
EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK! That issue seems to never die. Maybe it shouldn’t. I admit I have an interest in the issue as I have two daughters and this seems to be a women’s issue. I want them to have opportunities. I also admit that when I started my career in the 70’s that […]
