She Made Her Kids Lives Harder

Yet If you and I were to sit down over a cup of coffee and I were to ask you to list the struggles that have shaped you, that have made you who you are today, you would have a list of things that you’ve gone through that influence your behavior and your thinking every day today. These events, and their associated memories, have turned you into who you are. Yet isn’t it strange that the hardships that we’re so proud of, that have shaped us, we work to create a lifestyle so that our children can avoid them.

Kooks at the End of the Road

And the longer the road, the kookier the folk at the end of it. They’re eccentrics. They’re a bit out there. And they do out there things. You may not spend a lot of time with them, but you like to know they’re out there.

Myrtice Allen Gave Me My Thirst for Travel. I Can Never Thank Her Enough.

As I write this, I’m in the air between San Diego and Atlanta on my way home to Mobile after presenting at a conference. The fact that I’m traveling today has a lot to do with my grandmother. She gave me wanderlust at a young age when she took me to Cozumel, Mexico and one day we flew in a rickety old plane into the Yucatan and landed on a grass runway to see the ruins of Chichen Itza.

Conrad and Thomas

They offered to wash my daughter’s car which was parked in front of the house. Since it was a small car, they said, the cost would be $8. Both blond and suntanned. Barefoot. Ball caps too large for their heads. No problems talking to an adult. Lots of eye contact. Lots of “yes sirs.” One of them had a big plastic bin holding sponges, rags, and a bottle of dish soap.

Reality TV Has Entered My Home

But I’m astonished that the seemingly normal people on reality TV put themselves on network television and then available on Amazon Prime for the rest of their lives and bare their emotions, their thoughts, and sometimes nearly everything else in front of God and man and all their friends and family and their kindergarten teacher.

Middle-Aged Lame – My First Golf Tournament


I saw myself out there many times in many places. And I kept wondering if penguins were to come stare at us as we played golf, would they look at each other and say “they all look exactly the same to me. How can they tell each other apart?”

Unhinged

Our house rules prohibit what we call “devices” in our kid’s bedrooms at night. Early this morning I reached for my iPad and it wasn’t there, so I pinged it and my heart sunk when I heard the pings coming from his room.

Nelson Easterling’s Son Needed this Lesson. So Did I.

This particular wisdom came in the form of a friend telling a story. “Go put that tall ladder against the wall, then turn, back away, and run at that ladder and climb up it four steps at a time.” This is Nelson Easterling telling me about a lesson he tried to his son many years ago.

Christmas Balls and a Slow Growing Conflict in my Neighborhood

About a week later, a neighbor had the same balls, but they had six. So we ordered two more. Now at seven, they looked pretty, and we were pleased. Seven certainly looked better than our original five and a bit better than the six across the street. All’s once again right in the world. We’ve re-established order.
