  • 2018-06-28 Back to Good

    Back to reality means back to the basics. Achieving balance and focus is key. My day yearerday was inspiring, and as the day unfolded, I was reminded time and again of the truths around me. What’s important and what is good. It started with some nice reflecting on current events and how I really have…

  • 2018-06-27 Back to Reality

    I’m Finally catching up to real time after my glorious vacation and getting back to reality. In truth as things were coming to an end, reality began creeping in on me and it was sort of a struggle to really enjoy the final day of my trip. The stress of what was just around the…

    2018-06-25 The Key West Garbos Cheeseburger.. 4.5! 🧡🍔

    My Key West vacation might be over, but I’m not closing the book until I capitalize on the opportunity to do a review the two Cheeseburger experiences I had on my journey. All I have to say about this first one is “move over burger boys, you never stood a chance”. In all fairness, my…

  • 2018-06-24 A Farewell to the Florida Keys

    Writing quite a bit after the fact now and somehow the days and dates aren’t adding up. In total we had four full days in Key West and one day on the front and back side of that dedicated to mostly travel. The day after our sight-seeing day when we visited the Hemminway house, we…

  • 2018-06-23 Key West Day 4 – Meeting Hemminway

    Don’t blink or you might miss it. The days of vacation seem to fly so fast. Why is it normal life goes so slow sometimes, but when times are good it’s all just sand slipping through an hour glass? Oh what will be will be I guess. I just want to have enough time to…

    2018-06-22 Key West Day 3

    Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, it does. Here I am again on my newest favorite elliptical machine facing the ocean thinking about my day yesterday. We’ve had a steady set of planned activities but it hasn’t felt like we ha e been rushed at all. Waking up in the AM feeling good…

  • 2018-06-21 Key West Day 2

    We’ve already done so much here I can hardly believe we’re only in the middle of day 2. Yesterday we went on a glass bottom boat tour around the see and it was about 45 minutes out, 30 tooling around out on the aqua water and 45 back. What can I say about Florida so…

  • 2018-06-20 Miss SugarCookie Reporting Live from the South Coast

    Most of life is fluff you know. It’s all long pauses made up of eating and sleeping and working and not much else (for the average person anyway). Getting through those days and nights happy and healthy is the slow roll that leads to the crest in the waves where the magic happens. Right now…

    2018-06-20 Sunrise in Key West

    Today I am waking up in Key West Florida. Yesterday at this time, I still didn’t know where I was traveling and so far it’s been an incredible adventure. You know you are on to something when even the longest travel day turns out to be an amazing experience. JS has spared no expense to…

  • 2018-06-18 Destination Unknown

    I’ve been waking up super early the last week or so. It’s actually an advantage when it comes to all these early-ass flights I’m booked on. 4:30am wakeup to make it to the airport.. no problem. Tomorrow trip number 2 starts with a 6:30 flight and I’m just about ready. I’ll have had a break…

  • 2018-06-17 Nashville Day 3 – Hey, I’m on a Boat!

    I’ve kind of always wanted to be on a boat while someone was blasting that “on a boat” song. And now I have. 😜 That was actually the third best part of my day yesterday. I realize why it’s a thing. There was a lot of prep and errands leading up to this excursion so…

  • 2018-06-16 Nashville Day 2 – Two Truths and a Lie

    Just one of the team building, learn about each other, fun things we did on my work retreat yesterday. I’m basically a day behind reporting from Nashvegas, so I don’t think I can consider this “live”. Most of the day yesterday was very work centric. Up early (hangover and all), checking in on my normal…
