Charlie, Steve, and the kittens
Charlie Kirk’s death made news around the world for two reasons: he was a popular and internationally known public figure; and the manner of his death — assassination in the midst of a large crowd of people. The death of Steve Greiner, three days before, but at almost exactly the
What we can all learn from Cliff Drysdale
The cable sports network ESPN started on September 7, 1979. One week later, ESPN aired their very first tennis broadcast. One of the “in front of the camera” members of that team was Cliff Drysdale. If you don’t happen to watch tennis — or if you haven’t watched any tennis
Lights, Camera, Action
Once upon a time it was only the few who were “under the lights” in front of a camera. They were the movie stars, dressed by professionals, with make up applied by professionals in front of gleaming mirrors in well-lighted rooms, and directed by seasoned visionaries who knew the story
There is always a good choice
I was on the road Thursday morning near Phoenix. I left my house a little before 6 and hit the highway about 6:10. A thousand of my closest friends were already there, on their way to somewhere to do something. I was headed north, and my exit was in about
Getting lost on the way to good
Several of us were sitting around a table discussing a Bible passage that was hard to understand. I said, “Let’s try to keep it simple,” and I used an analogy from golf. Even if you don’t play golf or read the Bible, you will get this. You’ll even be able
Is it good? Is it true? Does it matter?
Once upon a time there was a fairly bright boy who didn’t always see things the way most people did. By the time he was a teenager he was often doing what Apple later recommended: Think different. Naturally, he became an Apple fan. Because the fellow liked to think, he
The Librarians
As far as I can tell from old fashioned internet research, it started in 2004 with a movie. It was called The Librarian: Quest for the Spear. That was followed by a second movie in 2006, a third in 2009, and then by a TV series (2014 – 2018) called
If you want to get better, here’s how
Let me just give you the heart of this article right at the top, then unpack it and show you how to apply it. Ready? If you want to get better in any way or at anything, spend as much time as you can with people who are very good
Still The Same?
A friend and I were discussing the ways the world has changed over time as well as the ways it has stayed the same. True confession: I brought it up, because it’s one of those things I think everyone should think about, especially those who want to do good. My
The gift called sleep
A couple of days ago I played golf with a friend who likes to get out early. Early, of course, is a relative term. In this particular case it meant we teed off at 6:50 a.m. Having to leave my house a little before 6 to arrive on time to
Guard duty
Back in the day, I spent a little time working for my rich Uncle Sam. Even then he had hundreds of companies and hundreds of thousands of employees, and they were all over the world. The group I worked for was (and still is) known as the United States Army.
Patience really is a virtue
Pour some cold, fresh milk (2% is fine) into a clear glass. Isn’t it beautiful? The pure white of the milk, captured by the glass, is inviting. You want to pick it up and take a drink, but don’t! Before you drink, grab a small plate, or even a paper
