2014: New Year’s Revelations (Yes, you read that correctly)

According to good ole urbandictionary.com , New Year's Revelation is defined as: While those definitions may be amusing, I do believe they highlight how resolutions ultimately fail. In reflecting back in 2012, my resolution was - " Resolution – 2012 – Keep It Simple – Remove the Noise " . I was able to tackle the distractions in life to be more productive, less attached to social media, and more attuned to my surroundings. You may wonder, why am I say Revelation versus Resolution. Last we[…]

Flight up to grab dinner in Asheville and a bottle if wine

Received a phone call from Randy asking if I had interest in a $100 hamburger. A short 2 hours later, we were airborne up to Asheville from PDK. The weather was crisp, the plane had a great climb rate, and we arrived in around 55 minutes which is normally a 3 hour drive.

Landmark has officially moved in Asheville. Note - s[…]

Enjoying the sounds of the waves in Honolulu. Enjoying […]

A Retrospective Look at 9/11, Eleven years later

Enjoying Helen today and as it approaches to 1am, I have spent a few minutes of time reflecting on that day in history, 9/11. A day that for our generation will be paramount similar to where were you during Pearl Harbor or when JFK was shot. No doubt you remember where you were when you heard the news, but my story I often try not to think about as it all seems too surreal to fathom. My good friend is a flight attendant for United Airlines, at the time we had all plans to visit NYC, explore the […]
