I am grateful for the ability to do and be whatever I want to do and be in this life.

I really am living a great life!  Even though I am not currently financially well off, not even close, I am living a great life!  Money can always be made; but making special memories and having opportunities, learning new things…this is what makes life so special.  Sharing this wonderful life with an absolutely beautiful person,…

Another great entertainer, person has set their sails to travel beyond the sun. Jimmy Buffet.  He entertained us; he made a lot of money and he gave some of that money to causes that he championed.   I wish that I could have sat with him, discussing the ocean and margaritas. He will be missed, every…

Tonight, over dinner, a friend and I were discussing the lure of the ocean; the itch to sail on the waters. In his case he wants to be a Master Engineer working in the engine room on the big ships. I just want to be on any vessel out on the water. We are both…

Yesterday, Grace and I, had dinner with my Zia K. and her husband. The last time we saw them was through a screen door, during the Covid pandemic. It was great to sit down and catch up with both her and her husband. She is my aunt by marriage; meaning that she was married to…

This week I have been working with a client, on a project that is going on year number six. As my partner and I sit with individuals discussing what it is that they do and how they need the “system” to work for them, I realize that I actually do know the Distribution/ Warehousing business…

There is so much beauty all around us; and even during the uncertainty of natural and man-made disasters, like the ones in Hawaii and Ukraine, I am grateful for my belief in god. The creator has a plan, of this I am certain. I ask for guidance from him so that I may work to…

I am so grateful for all of the wonderful friends that I have in my life; some of them are considered family. I am grateful for the moments that I get to share with these friends; because we are all children of god aren’t we all family? I am grateful for my faith in the…

This week I am relaxing in Loreto Mexico; I am here with my best friend, who I have known my whole life, his wife and my wonderful partner Grace.  Yesterday we took a boat charter to go snorkeling; while going between islands the captain asked me if I wanted to drive.  “Hell yes, I do!” …
