Twenty-twenty-too Beach Walk
On this day 5 years ago we were walking and laughing and dancing and loving on the beach. The song of the day has been the theme for the last 5 years of the rollercoaster of life. We’ve learned to be flexible and focus on progress over perfection. We’ve been faced with a whole lot […]

Make it local, make a connection, stay present.
I started writing this on New Year’s Morning. I had spent my holiday with my brother and dad, spent most of our town outdoors and shared differing views on health care, politics, golf, good eating and lifestyle choices. In order to pull in some data and reflect on what us humans can do differently I […]

Why Cities Are The Way They Are
A comprehensive look at the elements that have shaped our cities over the last 100 years… in a single blog post. Why Cities Are The Way They Are Today after the holiday, the family time, the meals, the laughter and the puppy walk I really didn’t have anything to write, but I did truly reflect […]

What is wellcare?
I found this old thought in my drafts and thought now was a good time to let it see the light of publication. We (the human global collective) are well along in our Covid-19 Marathon. While some countries have made some progress in vaccinating their vulnerable population and others are reaching out to vaccinate their […]

Move a little everyday. .
One of the discussions on the water this weekend was about keeping our bodies in motion. My current challenges are likely a result of many years playing the sport I love and lifting the iron in the gym. My maintenance and strength routine has been pretty consistent since college. What can we do to get […]

Mental Health is real health. . .
Dear World, We are all in this together. We are all on this one sweet world and no matter how many miles away we may be from from Sao Paulo, Tequisquiapan, Laguna Beach, Malaysia, Warsaw, Sicily or Wuhan we are all fighting this one coronavirus. Globally some of us still have very high Covid-19 infection […]

Prayers, mantras, therapy and cliches. . .
What do you say to yourself each morning? Dear Evan Hansen today is going to be a good day? @iamicaniwillido? Give yourself room to bloom? Our Father Who Art in Heaven? I welcome any tools that come to me to add to my toolbelt? – Dear Evan Hansen, Christine D’Ercole, The Heart Revival, Luke 11:2, […]

Better than the CDC. . .
It’s Christmas 2020. One year after we first heard about the Covid-19 in Wuhan, the United States is clearly struggling to keep the health care system from collapsing due to the Covid-19 crush. Why did our CDC and government fail us? Why can’t they be transparent and craft a story that unites us to celebrate […]

How can we connect and be present in this Covid World?
Welcome to December 2020! Let’s see we are in month number ten since this started back in March. All the sports fans in the United States were getting ready for madness, first the toilet paper run, right before the NCAA could have their basketball tournament. Then there was no Opening Day for the Cubbies or […]

Looking back on simpler times. . . pre-Covid-19
I know, I know, I know . . .a music video from the Squirrel Nut Zippers during this dark time is pretty dark, so let’s go back to when I went to see Squirrel Nut Zipper’s and realized it was before I met my concert-wife. I guess with all the news around Covid-19 forcing the […]

Covid-19 October
As of this weekend I’ve now been able to SUP in the Allegheny for five consecutive months. I’ve pretty much decided that the only soccer I’ll be doing in 2020 is outdoor with my electronic whistle due to Covid-19. Why would I want to blow a whistle in the middle of a global pandemic? After […]

What would Adam Smith write today?
Hey Bob- I was thinking about you even before we talked yesterday! I know somedays when we turn on Netflix and see what’s trending we wonder what’s going on with humanity, but yesterday I gave in to the trending and appreciated one of the documentaries. For those of you at home looking for things to […]

Where do we find the data?
The best answer is on the state level. Our CDC has been regularly gutted the same way NOAA was earlier in this administration. The idea of selling the nations data to private parties to maximize private sector profit is a recurring theme. If you want to understand what’s going on you really need to look […]

When 1918 repeats itself in 2020.
I know we rely on social and mass media to inform us, but somehow the warnings back in March to not repeat 1918 haven’t worked. I’ve been holding off on expressing this lately, but now is the time to tackle the running back with the ball, before more blood is shed: How we can unite […]
