Even If Nobody Asked

Even if nobody asked…… (bonus edition at the request of Sharon Ruhle)

1. The most successful people dream about practicing, not playing or winning. Be like them.

2. Writing is thinking. If you aren’t writing each day you’re not thinking at your highest level.

3. If you’re in a job interview and they ask you about your boss NEVER rip them. It’s a trap question. I asked it to everyone I ever hired. 50% got eliminated on this one question alone.

4. I listen to pharmaceutical commercials backwards. I only hear the part at the end where they name the side effects. Not a single drug they’re promoting fails to terrify me.

5. Two remote Christmas movies I really enjoy: Serendipity and The Holiday.

6. On some days I’m convinced I have one dog too many. I just can’t tell which one it is.

7. Underrated activity for a grandfather: go grocery shopping with your son/daughter and their little ones. What a hoot! (And yes, pay for the groceries)

8. Face value Savannah Bananas tickets at Gillette next summer are $250. I half expect a Taylor Swift concert to breakout at the 7th inning stretch.

9. Never ask God why. Ask Him what he’d like you to know and what he’d like you to do.

10. Greeted my wife at the door when she returned from Florida yesterday. Full meal waiting on the table. She exhaled and said “Man, I hated coming home”. Of course, a week earlier I told her the eggs she made me were terrible and that I wanted to vomit. Our relationship is built on candor. 😃
