“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” ~Michael Jordan Murphy is alive and well. He’s definitely out there; […]
Read MoreI enjoy the retrospect of my youth. It was a time for innocent exploration of my surrounding world. Luckily, I lived near to a region of undeveloped land. Within this paradise was included a creek that ran for miles, a large pond, hills, slopes and numerous trails. Abundant wildlife frolicked about this sphere with rabbits, […]
Read MoreMost people laugh when I tell them that a hamster taught me a valuable life lesson.

Read MoreI’m often asked: “Why are you so different?” Honestly, I find this question amusing. I also wonder if this is a fair question to ask. Who isn’t different? Right? My general response to this quizzical statement is “Do you know if you’re even normal?” With this, the subject is usually dropped, and for good reason. […]
