EP. 8: Take a mental health break today
What are YOUR priorities & positives today? The last 36 hours have me thinking about ways to think about what’s important to us today instead of dealing with the noise outside. Mentioned in this episode:I posted last night about why I missed recording a podcast yesterday Alex Gordon retires from the KC Royals this weekend...
Another Milestone Behind
Two checks. A quick meeting with an attorney partway between Greeley and Denver this morning. Conversations through masks. A stack of paperwork and a CD of additional material.

Take away the parents who...
Life deserves an update
I’m redfaced. There’s no excuse for not updating this site since 2015. Ok, maybe there are, but it’s still embarassing. With that, time to get back to doing better here.
