I am a “thanked full” man (Over 1.5 million severed)

I remember when I was little going to McDonald’s and seeing the big sign of the Golden arches. Nothing makes a 7 year-old happier than to see the McDonald’s sign. By the time I started going to McDonald’s they had stopped counting how many people they had served and the sign only read [...]

On September 13, 1960 Kevin Carter, a photographer, had 30 minutes to before his UN flight left Sudan, Africa.

I do not like eggs that much anyway (my answer to the am I a quitter question)

Not too long ago I posted a comment on my facebook profile sharing my greatest fear. I knew that when I posted it would get some quick responses. I received many encouraging responses. In part that was the reason I posted it. One of the comments in particular made me contemplate [...]

Planning a bowling Championship. My lesson in humility

“I cannot play today … Fernando got chickenpox can we replace him with another player? … I do not have any money but I can I play? … Our team has two people that have not showed up. What should we do? … etc., etc., etc.”
For those of you who do not know me [...]

Contemplating my exciting life

I received an email the other day. Now that I think about it was actually more of a comment in passing. “You guys live an exciting life.” The comment got me to thinking because I would not have described our life in that way. There are many words that I [...]

Comfort Food
