Months of not running and liberal holiday feasting has definitely caught up with me.

Competitive natures come out in funny ways with adults.

You can’t just show up and expect to be a good driver.

A proper dye job does not leave hair a consistent color.

Without paying customers, you might have an organization, but you don’t have a business.

One of the best things you can do for someone is to help their kids.

God gave us a will stronger than our feelings.

He knew I was a Christian because of how I act. Wow.

Taking them to their events and attending when possible always seems to pay back.

Make it easy for them to thank you.

The middle class focus on saving; the wealthy work on generating income.

My Father has the same desire to hold me as I do to hold Po after 4 days out of town.

Large quantities of authentic Mexican and Thai food – especially involving squid – makes for a restless night and uncomfortable next day.

You can only love God as much as you love the person you love the least (and several old bosses come to mind).

Playing cards and board games as a family makes for a nice Twelfth Night and end to the break.

It’s cool that at 10, he has no reluctance to march in alone and ask adults for what he needs.

Paying a few hundred dollars to replace some loose fittings and cracked pipes beats having a pinhole leak turn into a basement flood.

I can get people to talk about themselves…a lot.

Although it feels good to be 2-for-2 in the New Year, running outside probably won’t seem like such a good idea when I fall on the ice and get hurt.
