Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
Most of us have heard the old adage about the way you view events in your life either being as a glass half full or a glass half empty. If you look at a glass that is filled to the halfway point and see it as half-full, then you are considered an optimist; if you view the glass as half-empty, …
It’s 9:30 a.m. I am in the Minneapolis airport and I’ve been up since 3:45 a.m. aboard various flights. I walk into TGI Friday’s for breakfast because I haven’t yet eaten. I’m met by a pleasant woman in her mid-30’s that escorts me to a table and tells me my server will “be right with you”. I look around and …
In elementary school, our teachers would have us play a game called Duck, Duck, Goose. The entire class would sit in a circle cross-legged (back then it was called Indian-style) and one kid would walk around the circle tapping the other kids on the head and say Duck, Duck, Duck, and finally one person was the Goose. If she said …
The Super Bowl is the most watched event on TV each year. Over 100 million people tune in to see the spectacle, advertisers pay $4 million dollars for 30 seconds of airtime, and players spend a lifetime of disciplined practice trying to win the game so they can call themselves champions.

Today we’re going to find out who’s Naughty & Nice. Start out by finding a quiet place and taking an inventory of all your customers. Some salespeople have hundreds of …
We all know the song: He’s making a list, checking it twice. Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town… (If you’re like me, you can’t even read those words without singing it in your head. Of course, if you’re like me, nobody wants to hear you singing outside of your head.) According to legend, …
Science has proven that middle adolescents, aged 13-15, get more selective about peer friendships and relationships. It makes sense; when you were five years old, you could know somebody for eight seconds and you proudly declared them “your friend”. As children get older, they experience more disappointment, sadness, and loss, and that makes it harder for them to trust people …
In my twenties, I smoked cigarettes… a lot of cigarettes. I was up to around two packs per day. I was short of breath, embarrassed of my habit, and my car smelled funky. Even though I told myself I needed to quit, I only really tried to quit five or six times. Thankfully, I did quit… but not until I took action. I …
