Failure is an Option
You’ve heard the quote in countless movies, and perhaps even in real world situations. “Failure is not an option.” I’m here to tell you that it is. Of course, when lives are at stake, this optimism is critical to get those involved motivated to succeed. But I’m not here to talk about high stakes missions. […]
Let’s Get Along
The late Rodney King said, “can we all get along?” You may be more familiar with the modified version of the quote, “Can’t we all just get along?” Well Mr. King, yes, yes we can. We can achieve harmony with one another. It may seem like a tall order given the current state of politics. […]
I gave up… and that’s not me.
Good morning. It’s a beautiful day in St. Louis. I’ve been absent. I gave up writing for several reasons. First and foremost, I was writing for the wrong reason.

The Influence of the Two-party System and the Media
Election day has passed, but the results are still being tallied. In 2022, I believe we are more divided than ever before. That may be a “Sherlock” moment if there ever was one, but the obvious must be stated. And why wouldn’t we be divided? The two-party system has placed us in camps, and many […]
Review – “Why We Sleep” – Simple Advice on Slumber
In Dr. Matthew Walker’s book, “Why We Sleep,” he urges me to fall asleep while reading the book. Unfortunately, I simply cannot, even though this very book prescribes sleep and gives all the reasons why it is beneficial. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that everyone loves to sleep. But, why […]
