I'm at a point when there are fewer years in front of me than behind me. As such, there are moments when I look back on my deeds and behaviors in the past with disappointment . There are some songs from back in the day that resonate with me. Rose Royce had two songs which are speaking to me today: Love Don't Live Here Anymore (1978) In the game of love ... you reap what you sow. I wonder if I will...

Although Charlie's finding his own hygiene routine a little tedious at present, he'll take no truck from his trucks. Oh no. They're getting the treatment, whether they like it or not. Thanks to your bathtime tips we feel slightly more empowered than we did before. There was some really great advice, so much so that I intend to condense it to 140 characters for the #twitterbabytips book. (Please let...

I recently heard snatches of a hauntingly beautiful song. It reminded me of Rose Royce’s ‘Wishing on a star’ from the seventies, a song that has powerful nostalgia for me. I found out it was Duffy’s ‘Stepping Stone’. I pulled up the video and the lyrics and saw and heard Duffy for the first time. What a voice, what a song, what lyrics! Many talents all come together...

I do not know why, exactly, but when work gets a little overwhelming at the worldwide home office, I listen to Car Wash. Something about relating the job to physical work. Something about "it is better than digging a ditch". Now you can relate that or compare that to the practice of law.
