Rush Limbaugh wants to own a National Football League team - and I LOVE the NFL. I saw this breaking news on the tube last week (about Rush, not about my love). I though to myself, "Hmmm. If I played in the NFL, I don't think I'd want to play for Rush Limbaugh." After that I let it go, didn't give it a second thought. I don't do politics or waste a lot of my time bumping up against people's … [Read more...]
I am an eternal optimist. I see the glass as half full. I am always doing great. And it’s always a beautiful day… And I find that’s a bit much for some people. It’s especially annoying to those who like to complain, point out the negative, gossip, see the glass as half empty and are forever having a bad day. Recently, I felt the need to explain my sunny attitude to someone (who shall … [Read more...]
THE TIN MAN is my custom, salvaged-from-junkyard-parts, hand-restored, hybrid cruiser bicycle. Upon finding this assortment of discarded parts in various junkyards, I cleaned him up, reconditioned the bearings and threw in a few new parts that couldn’t be salvaged and created my favorite TCS Custom Cruiser to date. My hybrid starts with a beautiful ALL CHROME, 10-Speed frame. The frame … [Read more...]

This is a new national holiday, started this year at the start of the 2009/2010 NFL season by yours truly. It honors the Steelers' record-setting SIX Super Bowl … [Read more...]
Computer Love is like reading and writing - you just gotta know how to do it to survive! It took me a couple of years to get the whole alphabet, grammar, sentence structure, comprehension thing down, but that was a couple of grade school years well spent! Learning some Computer Love is no different, get the ABCs of it now and it'll serve you for a lifetime. Look at it from this … [Read more...]
In my speaker coaching business I have a two-page document that spells out the rules of the road. It defines my professional relationship with the speaker, outlines our objectives, sets policy and assigns accountability. It’s brief but detailed, pretty serious and well thought out based on my experiences inside of coaching relationships. However, upon seeing it a number of speakers have … [Read more...]
Although I don't think I'm cut out to be a full-time parent, I'm starting to REALLY like kids. Two in particular. My daughter Nikki (Ladybug) and my nephew LJ (who I think looks just like me when I was his age.) As my sister Alesia and I say "Nick and LJ can run with us anytime!" They're both really smart, really fun, absolutely fearless and pretty darned cool! Loved hangin' with you guys in … [Read more...]
