Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
I can't stress enough the importance of sleep for Dads like me who work outdoors. It's a struggle, let me tell you. The long hours under the sun, braving the elements – it's all part of the job.

In the journey of a long-lasting marriage, there often comes a moment when the words 'I love you' take a bit more effort.

I recently saw this smart way of looking at projects, yet saw it as a great way of approaching my own life. Here's my version of it. Everything we do has to be S.M.A.R.T.!

I found a new Hobby: Way back in February I purchased a Tamiya TT-02B 4WD RC Buggy from an Australian distributer .

Lots of blogs for entrepreneurs say that having a mentor is important to succeed in life. It sounds great, but in reality, it can be tough to find one.
