In the April 7 issue of People Magazine, Billy Ray Cyrus, the father of Miley Cyrus is quoted as saying, “I’ve always tried to be her best friend.” Now there, gentle reader, is the answer to the question, “What the hell is a 15 year old girl doing making her own life decisions?”
Kids, especially teenagers, […]

We are living in a snow globe and someone has turned the sucker over and shaken it. Airlines are shutting down, merging, re-organizing. Airline fuel has gone through the roof. What does that mean to you and me? Havoc!
Since 1989 I’ve flown between 100,000- 150,000 miles a year. I’ve had […]

When did “to google” become a verb? I google, you google, she googles…I would imagine that Google™ has mixed feelings about this, just as Kleenex™ and Xerox™ do. on the one hand, it’s good to be a household name, on the other hand, common use renders the brand less effective.
Nevertheless, since yesterday was my birthday, […]

The British Luxury Liner Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic 96 years ago today. You ever wonder if those crazy kids who created April 15 as our tax deadline had a quirky sense of humor in their choice of the date? Or is that too much to ask of […]

It continues to amaze me that people are shocked - SHOCKED - that April 15 comes […]

Perception is Reality. And blogging for the sake of blogging to beat other bloggers to the punch apparently can kill you.
There are speakers out there who believe with all their hearts they must kill themselves with a turbo-travel schedule @ hundreds of thousands of miles a year to reach all their fans. There […]

We get caught up in our little dramas and effectively are the architects of our Life Un-balance. It’s so easy to think our problems are worse than anyone else’s. Hopefully that point of view changes as we experience more of life and the world. It’s called ‘maturity’ - but then, that isn’t so common these […]

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” George Bernard Shaw
Forty years ago today, an unreasonable man was assassinated. He was 39. I remember it as if it were yesterday. Just as we all […]

Aloha Airlines closed it’s doors yesterday. One of the saddest business closings I’ve seen in many years. After 46 years of carrying locals to relatives’ graduations, birthdays, baby luaus, and weddings - they are gone. Aloha was family, and they were knocked out of the market intentionally. Many of you know I spent the better […]
The way I see it, Cactus is the most resilient plant in the desert. If you find yourself stuck out on the desert and you can get past the thorns, its fruit will save your life. The same goes for us human critters. If we can get past the thorns of our own life, what we find in our core will save us and sustain us.
