The Thank You Test

I’m not going to lie. My boys are a bit spoiled. They are surrounded by family and friends who shower them with love, attention, and almost every toy that exists at Target. At this stage in their life, they don’t realize how lucky they are, but I am determined to make sure they are grateful.

Community Foundation

When I first moved to North Carolina, one of the first organizations I met with was the North Carolina Community Foundation. Where I am from, the Greater Milwaukee Community Foundation served a critical role in tackling some of the community’s biggest challenges. I wanted to see if the same was true here.

What Good Is It If You Don’t Use It?

I’m that guy. The impulse shopper who buys stuff on a whim, drawn in by the promise of greater productivity, organization, and efficiency. I'm a sucker for infomercials for things like the amazingly awesome NINJA blender. And let's not forget those work and home electronics that the knowledgeable big box store salesman convinced me would transform my work life and home entertainment experience. Think the iPad, and the "smart" TV.
