Kalahari, The Poconos, And Here Comes Middle School
This weekend, Labor Day in the US, me and my wife and kiddo went to Kalahari Water Park in the Poconos for one last gasp of the summer. The kid had a blast and did tons of water slides. We’re all so very sore. Come Tuesday, middle school!!!!!!! Eeeek! I can’t take it. He’s growing

Holy Shit… Middle School!
One more week. That’s it. That’s until the kiddo is in… wait for it… middle school! I can’t stand it. I remember when he was a little nugget. Now he’s off to a school where he changes classes and has tons of responsibilities. Am I worried for him? Yes. Am I excited for him? Absolutely.

Waking Up
Waking up from bed is something we should all hope for every day. Because there are people who don’t. I know that was really profound (sarcasm). But have you ever laid in bed not wanting to rise? It happens to me all the time. It’s probably because my bed is so comfortable. Though once I

What I’m Thankful For
(This post first appeared on Medium) This year with everything that is going on, we need to focus on what we’re thankful for more than ever. I’m thankful for a lot of things, and it’s hard to really articulate them at times. A good friend, client, and mentor (Susan Detwiler of the Detwiler Group), put
