Do you ever ask yourself these questions?:

All of those questions have been on my mind and because of that, I have an idea that I think makes sense. Click the link below, read my idea and give me your thoughts.
I look forward to reading your comments!
Last summer, I was with my kids visiting my family in Cape Cod and had an amazing time. One of the things we did was walk the beach really early in the morning. I was with my boys, we had finished our walk and ended up on a pier with a bunch of fisherman, all of different ages. As usual, Riley (Mr. Inquisitive), walked away and started talking to someone. The next thing I knew, he was fishing with them and catching a few crabs and sand sharks. In fact, the picture of him below, he’s holding two of his prized catches, which in a few years will be staring in the movie “Jaws”.
The people who showed Riley how to crab actually left 30 minutes later and gave him everything: The bait, the net, the hook and most importantly, a lesson on how to do it. They asked that when we were done to please “Pay it Forward”. We have all heard that term but I wasn’t sure if my kids really knew what it meant. I explained to them that to “Pay it Forward” means as a response to someone’s kindness to you, you need to be kind to someone else.
When my boys were done fishing, they were excited to “Pay it Forward” and they found a young girl to give all of their materials to.
PS: Something I like to do to “Pay it Forward” is to anonymously buy breakfast or lunch for someone in the military at the airport.

A couple weeks ago would have marked the king’s 80th birthday! His music and memory has lived on for decades and will forever. I thought it would be fun to have you enjoy a quick quiz about the great Elvis Presley:
As always, the quiz will be timed so no need to get any help from friends or the internet. The answers will be posted in a few weeks.
Enjoy!
Sorry, but my New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl again! For the 6th time since 2001 the Patriots will play for the Lombardi trophy!
I can’t wait! For much of last week, I kept replaying the Seahawks miracle finish over the Green Bay Packers – an amazing game!
I really look forward to reading your comments and predictions.
PS: My prediction is a 31-27 Patriots victory with Tom Brady getting MVP honors for the 3rd time in his career!
A few weeks ago on a Saturday I was kind of lazy (after making lunch, doing laundry, working out, showering and probably 10 other things) and asked my daughter if she wanted to watch TV. She did and as we cuddled in my bedroom I asked her what she wanted to watch. We flipped around for 30 seconds and she said wanted to watch “Meet the Sloths”. Never having heard of the program, I told her that I thought “Sloths” was kind of an odd name for a family. She looked at me with a puzzled look and said, “Dad…the sloth is an animal not humans”. I knew that, but I didn’t realize there was a show on TV about them.
Anyway, “Meet The Sloths” is on the Discovery Channel and really cool and very interesting. The show follows a year in the life of five Sloths who live in the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica, a sanctuary dedicated to saving orphaned or injured sloths. I really enjoyed the program and now kind of have a favorite sloth from the show! (please stop laughing).
So here is a thought for you: Not sure what to watch on TV? I say cuddle with the kids and let them choose! Its only an hour out of your life and my sense is you will love the experience!
I look forward to reading your comments!
I must admit, over the past year I have watched a lot of videos. For me, this is one of the most impactful videos I have ever watched and I wanted to share it today. The video is about 2 ½ minutes long and I truly believe worth the time investment.
After you finish watching, I’d love to know:
I hope you watched the video and will share your comments. Thanks in advance.
Recently, I was reading the Dallas Business Journal which had an interesting article about the economic impact of holding the NCAA Championship football game in North Texas. As part of the article they shared the Forbes annual college football valuation list.
Before I share the list…think for a minute: Who you believe would be in your top five?
For me, I would have included: Notre Dame which would have 100% been my number 1, then Ohio State, Florida State, Oklahoma and Georgia.
The funny thing is, I only had ONE of the top five and Notre Dame wasn’t number one! Here is the list:
Here’s the list:

A few weeks ago I was at the airport waiting to board my flight and looked at the next gate, which was boarding, and counted: At least ½ the people getting on the plane had some type of favorite article they like to travel with! Notably: a blanket, stuffed animal or pillow.
The interesting thing was: they were all different ages. So, I ask you: Do you take flight with your:
I look forward to reading your comments!
PS: I don’t travel with any of those items but I always do have water and headphones out.
