Welcome 2026, home

You were born to triumph with optimism and possibility.

Think like you mean it.

Move like you mean it.

Serve like you mean it.

Contribute like you mean it.

Organize like you mean it.

Reap like you mean it.

Teach without saying a word.

Make ’em like

Wisdom comes from experience.

Experience comes from making mistakes.

Make ’em like you mean it!

Tomorrow is a new year.

Yeee-haaaa!

Privilege of a lifetime at home

What’s my privilege of a lifetime at home?

To finally realize life is more vibrant when my priorities are prioritized.

One more time, please

We’ve been together a decade. We met at Lee Cockerell’s home two weeks before i officially retired on Halloween 2014. Mark and i began collaborating in early 2015.

There’s a last time for everything.

Sometimes we welcome the last time.

Sometimes we mourn the last time.

And sometimes, we forget to savor each time, never thinking that this might be the last time.

The bottom right corner is my ‘signature’ bicycle image.

Our son’s Christmas Eve and Christmas Day shifts started at 5:00 AM. Waiting for him to return home before our ‘festivities’ allowed Santa’s helpers extra prep time.

That was a blessing.

Today was the most prepared i’ve ever been for Christmas.

Today was the most joy i’ve ever experienced for Christmas.
