Routines and Habits
Date: January 11, 2018
There are a lot of books in the past few years about creating Habits. I had first understood the value of them from reading Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins back in 1997.

For the past couple years, as winter has started to set in, I’ve watched as fellow gents not only adorn winter jackets and wool caps, but also well groomed whiskers, transforming into alter-characters in an attempt to raise awareness for prostate cancer.

I’m finally getting around to posting some of the previous month meals. This one is for August. It was pretty easy in terms of choosing ‘what’ to make – nothing in the fridge, so had a complete clean slate to work with. Setting the scene: The day was boiling hot, and I had spent the … Read More

This past week was a tough one at work… it’s well known now that we laid off about 4% of employees. I was actually pretty impressed with how well it was handled.
