It’ll Be Here Before You Know It
I was writing the date recently, actually Friday the 25th, when I realized, “Wow! There are only two months until Christmas!” Yes I know we have a 25th every month and years ago I used to make a big thing out of it when I was on the radio, especially in January… “Only 11 months…

Who Rescues The Rescuers?
I have a guest columnist this week. My wife, Priscilla, has been a paramedic for over twenty years. She has seen way too many things in her career as many have in healthcare. Recently a colleague died and, without going into details, it was a shock to many who knew this person. In trying to…

One of her paramedic colleagues died this week: committed suicide actually and that is not unusual with paramedics, police or firefighters lately. Many articles have been written with some even claiming, “More first responders…

Sometimes Everything is Okay
I was sitting here today trying to think of what to write about. What’s on my mind? What am I angry about? What concerns me right now? Then I realized: Everything is okay. I think sometimes we need to stop and recognize when every thing is okay. Is it “okay” or “ok?” Google? “Okay and…

“Are You Too Busy?”
You hear it all the time: “I’m sorry but I’m just SO busy” and I get that because I’ve been busy too. For those that don’t know much about my story, we had four children involved in all the things four children like to do, though the girls didn’t take dance class. I escaped attending…
