The holidays, to me, represent all things warm. Spiced cinnamon, soft sweaters, laughter by a crackling campfire but, most of all, the enduring warmth of friendship. During the holiday season we tend to focus on our families. Reflecting on times gone by, moments of joy that await us, and all that we are thankful for. […]

Tonight I am having a little bit of trouble writing this post. There is so much that needs to be done and preoccupying my mind, that the words keep swirling around in a jumble. Which I suppose is appropriate, seeing as how a giant swirling storm is the reason for my distraction. I happen to […]

Buddies & Pals

August 1, 2011

Whenever I used to have one of those beyond frustrating moments at work my friend and employer at the time would find a way to turn that moment around. Whether he had a valuable piece of advice, a joke or decided that we should break for lunch early Dewey would diffuse whatever was making us […]

As I sit here pondering the next french fry recipe that we’ll be working on this weekend I can’t help but wonder “What comes first?“. Sort of like “What comes first?
