We took two weeks to drive through central/southcentral America this spring. Along the way, we saw lots of history, ran two races, drank more than our fair share of bourbon and beer, and ate wonderful local food. Here are my notes shared on Instagram, so I’ll always have them handy. In my opinion, you’re missing […]

Always Remember
Armed Forces Day (May): We recognize those currently serving in the military. Memorial Day (May): We remember all those who died in service to their country.

Getting Quiet – And Feeling Ok
I’m not posting here as much. I’m also not posting much on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, unless it’s about work, TEDxPlano, running or cats. Those subjects are relatively safe. You can talk about them with minimal risk of offense in an age of outrage. Except for those dog owners. They don’t take an overabundance of cat […]

The Word for 2018 | Intent
I’ve decided 2018 will be an Ecclesiastes 3-focused year: For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; […]
