“This Too Shall Pass”
If you haven’t yet, you need to watch the new OK GO video for “This Too Shall Pass.” While there have been some comments on whether or not it is a true Rube Goldberg machine, there is no doubt that the video is incredibly interesting. When I finally got around to watching the video on […]

Dulce de Leche
I happened to be home for two full days, so I swung by local grocery store to purchase some fresh food so I could cook dinner (salmon & quinoa pilaf for those foodies out there). On my way in, I was greeted by a Brownie and a Girl Scout, each asking that lovely spring question: […]

“The captain wanted to give you this.”
Over the weekend I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine about great customer service. She told me about her amazing fish guy at her local market who seeks out great opportunities to find new fishes and always greets her with a smile. I ended up talking about a random experience on […]

Years later, I still find myself lost in the soundtrack at times, touched not only by the rhythms […]

Standing at the Doorway
I had a nice workout today. After having my trainer kick my butt with some challenging lifts, I spent an hour doing cardio, listening to most recent episode of This American Life. I really enjoy listening to a podcast while on an elliptical. I don’t have to lower my intensity level so I can hold […]

Smoking Near a Fuel Truck
I know. The title probably caught your eye. Smoking near a fuel truck? Really? What happened next? Do tell. So right now I’m sitting in the office center of the United Red Carpet Club, waiting for my flight back home to Phoenix. I was just here yesterday. It was one of those quick 24 hour […]
