by SteveHulse October 4, 2011

How many of you out there are good carpenters, builders, understand basic construction? How many of you know what a joist is, and can build one and put it where it belongs?

by SteveHulse September 28, 2011

Ever meet a famous person? A movie actress, a great writer, a Chuck Yeager, a John Elway, an Oprah or even a Ted Turner?  Sure, we’ve all met them or at least seen them in person, right? They lift us beyond our daily lives for a brief moment, they touch our lives with the larger, [...]

My Summer Vacation

by SteveHulse September 19, 2011

Remember those “back to school” writing assignments? Remember what we wrote about, how our summers really were back then? Yeah, me too.

Priorities

by SteveHulse August 17, 2011

We all have ‘em. Those important things in our lives that find their places on our to-do lists. What is high up on one’s list is probably not as high up on another’s. Our perceptions are all different, our priorities are all different… one of the many reasons why we all are different. My sense [...]
