You’ve all heard the analogy… even a tiny pebble thrown into the ocean creates ripples that eventually become waves. The point is that when you do a seemingly small thing for another person, it can have a much larger impact than you ever thought possible. Now imagine the “water” is in a confined space. I…
DetailsNothing makes me prouder than to see inspiration passed on to the next generation. The letter below was written by my son Evan. He was inspired by my marathon fundraising run last year, and is now inspiring his fellow students to join the fight against cancer. (I hope the dance group posts a video on…
DetailsI’m trying to figure out why the upcoming royal wedding between William and Kate is bothering me. I respect cultural traditions and don’t mind them being kept alive. And I love that the British royal family does a lot of work for charity. It’s just the concept of being “royal” in the first place that…

In 2010 the Butler basketball team wowed…
DetailsOur high school science teacher passed out rubber bands to the class and asked us to slowly stretch them between our fingers. A little more. A little more. Each of us stopped when we knew it was about to snap. He was illustrating the concept of the elastic limit, that point where an elastic substance…
DetailsIt’s been a rough couple of weeks and I am literally looking for good news today. If you clicked to read this based on the title, you’re probably looking for good news too. My current mental state is a result of recent human loss, hostility and uncertainty on a worldwide scale. Even the weather is depressing right…
DetailsI visited a friend in the hospital last night. Tom Rosten was in a serious car accident and is in serious condition as I write this. He was hooked up to all the tubes and wires and monitors that ICU has to offer. He was unable to speak but the nurse assured me he could…
DetailsWhen you catch a fish big enough to take home, that’s called a keeper. When you hear a bit of advice that’s big enough to take to heart, that’s a keeper too. In the midst of my brother Jeff’s battle with Multiple Myeloma, he uttered a keeper today. We were talking about what keeps him…
