I love going to the gym at 5:00 am. I like the physical exercise, the routine, the discipline and I like the group of guys I have met who have become friends of mine. We talk and laugh and work out. One Monday morning I was talking to one of my friends about his weekend. [...]

More Dangerous Than Covid-19
I went out shopping the other day. I had to stock up on some essential items. What an adventure shopping has become! Before you go out you have to gear up. When my wife and I got in the car we went through the checklist. Masks – check. Hand sanitizer – check. Patience – check. [...]

The One Thing You Can Do To Improve Every Relationship – Part 1
The best relationship advice I ever received was two words. Choose love. I had a relationship that was broken. It wasn’t always broken. There was a time when it was beautiful.
