A Day in the Life of a Volunteer
This is a short video I made to encourage more volunteers to work at the Hope Distribution Center…
Muddled Metaphors
You can judge a book by its cover…but then you get wolves in sheep’s clothing.
When we stop judging books by their cover…we get sheep in a wolf’s clothing.
Occam’s Rake?
Instead of using a leaf blower, maybe just buy a bigger rake.
Social Media Killed the Dinosaurs (and we’re next)
Sure, we’d all like to believe that it was a large asteroid…and there ARE those that believe it was some sort of climate change (caveman Al Gore). But real time-travelers know that it was really just Social Media that killed the Dinosaurs….
Riding to the Top of the World
The Top of the World is cold in August. Within the last week of riding I’ve gone from blazing heat in Kansas to the rainy cold of Montana. And I’m so tired…

Life is 98% drudgery on your way to the highlights.
The good bits will always come, learn to appreciate the drudgery…
Center of the States
I was as far away from all the oceans as I could possibly be today. It sort of defined the term “land-locked”. The Center of the Lower 48 States, just outside of Lebanon, KS…more photos…

Just another day on the road…
I found a man dying on the side of the road early in the morning.
Biff Reunion – Day 1
This is the first full day of my full vacation. I’ve landed safely at our friend’s lake home on Smith Mt. Lake Virginia. Amazing place and wonderful people.
So, what happens when you start throwing around a GoPro camera while swimming? The girls take over the production…
Oh, the places we can go…
Coming soon: my first solo trip from Kansas City to Montana. I’ll be posting all
Po-Go Zombies
And remember, safety first, so keep an eye open for the Po-Go zombies as they troll your neighborhood for their next conquest. All this really does is identify them as “first against the wall” when the revolution begins.

500 Words Story: Why I'm Not a Father
The screams of terror filled the night shocking him out of his bed. High pitched nightmare screams that could only come from a 6 year old child’s lungs. The word “Daddy” was screamed repeatedly as one long word “daddydaddydaddy” at decibels that almost had the neighbors dialing 911.
500 Words Story: Retired at 24
…and he told me this mid-drink which I almost spit up. This was when I began to realize, I was in the middle of a professional-drinker-bar-room-whopper. This was going to be the “fishing” story of a lifetime. The one that got away. I hoped and prayed that he was a good story-teller because I liked what I heard so far. Yes, I was in the mood for a seriously good yarn. Fasten your seat belts ladies and gentlemen and keep you hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.
