(June 7, 2008) We stumbled upon this Italian delicacy last year...and this year I can share it and remind you that this is an annual event, so set a reminder now :-) http://italianfeastofscv.com/ ... One thing I love about the American spirit in general is that if people see that there is a festival, or an event that is NOT in their town, they just host it themselves. So far what I have seen it is making our city so much more! And when it comes to Italian Festivals, Frankie Competelli has done just that. As you go through the entry gates to check into the festival, they are a wonderful bridge from 'your day' to 'Little Italy' complete with the vendors, Italian lessons and of course Food. All the folks we met were gracious and helpful. The jumpy-slide and laser-light tag were fantastic a... 07/06/2008

I don't know about you but I remember a few years back saying to myself. My kids have such an entitlement attitude when did this all happen? They have no idea how lucky they are living here in the SCV. I began sounding like every other parent as I shot back at the snotty new teens who had kidnapped my kids in the back seat. "I had to walk to school when I was a kid. I had to walk back, and forth to school 10 miles each way, barefooted, on broken glass, uphill, and that was on a good day! I would thank my parents each day for providing me with an opportunity for a great education! So stop whining about the air not being on high enough as we drive to the mall for crying out loud! I remember thinking to myself how are my kids ever going to learn the "All American work ethic and that everyt... 06/24/2008

My father-in law asked me to share with you all, a way in which we can fight back against the high price of oil. He was told of an effort being waged by consumers today to force the oil companies to lower their prices. Before I begin I am all about free markets and supply and demand. The government no matter who is in office won't do what needs to be done to curtail oil prices by encouraging other alternative solutions there is too much at stake for them to really intervene. Sure they have these pathetic photo op hearings they bring the heads of these giant oil companies slap the top of their hands while the cameras are rolling and then slap a high five once there off. I'm sorry for my brief moment of cynicism but there is hope, and what I am about to share may be the temporary solution... 06/18/2008

As a Parent we are called upon to lead our children along in life, to guide them, protect them, and to provide life sustaining nourishment. I was introduced to this video over the weekend at a men's retreat. On the surface it is your typical "National Geographic type video reinforcing the natural order of wildlife. But sometimes the order of things or outcome can be changed when you take a different approach to life. A nature paradigm shift? The symbolism found within this video is quite incredible as I relate it to life and it's challenges. But before I share my own insights please view the video in it's entirety. The images are disturbing, but so relevant to what I am about to share with you, so watch it in it's entirety there is a "Happy ending.  Once you have viewed the video below... 06/16/2008
