As wise person once said: Be careful what you say. You cannot take it back. Another good one: The truth will set you free. The thing about being human, being a creature of emotion, rarely do we rationally and logical process everything and everyone. Another way to say or think about this, humans generally engage …

Sympathetic, but Ineffectual
Been an interesting week for me… Bought a new home with the money that I’ve earned busting my ass and being the best — most effective manager and developer I’ve seen. I’ve hired the best and brightest and have planned, pushed and fought my way to leading a company developmentally from a company with an …
Hurting
I am tired of hurting. I am tired of trying to protect my children from being hurt. I am tired of failing to protect my marriage. I am tired. I am hurting.
Thankful
In life I believe we get the opportunity to raise the people around us up. It doesn’t take much: a kind word, good advice or monetary support with specific commitments. I’ve been blessed to help and be helped in this way and it’s truly a wonderful thing when it works. It doesn’t always, some people …

I Need Your Support
I received the oddest E-mail the other day. Max’s Troop Leader E-mailed me directly…. I have zero E-mails from this gentleman. He wrote: Max didn’t make the meeting. Chris – I can really use your support with making sure Max makes it to the Jamboree Meetings when it’s your weekend to have him. Brian E. …
Sadness
I continue to be impressed with the level of sadness I feel when my small amount of time with my children is taken away. We don’t do that much, I can’t afford much after the divorce, I didn’t want to go to war and I didn’t prepare for it. I figured over time my kids, …
