The Best in Real Estate–Donald Trump

I recently finished a book by Donald Trump. Good stuff! I bought the book, How to Get Rich, at a used book store in downtown Crawfordsville. It might be the best $3.45 I’ve ever spent. I didn’t buy the book to become rich. I didn’t buy it because I want to go into real estate.Continue reading “The Best in Real Estate–Donald Trump”

Martin Magers, this post is for you! Thirty-four is not only the number of hours I spent driving in the car. It is the number of weeks my wife has been pregnant. It is the number of months my wife and I have known each other. And it is the number of years since SirContinue reading “Weeks, Months, Years”

Second, mountains stood all around; and, on top of the mountains was snow. No wonder I was cold and couldn’t sleep! As I began my second day ofContinue reading “34 (Part 4)”

34 (Part 3)

I didn’t plan to bash NASA in my last post. I just happened to experience something in the next leg of my journey that reminded me of NASA. Mentioning these space gurus simply provided a good segue. Speaking of segues, I was crossing the border into Idaho. As I was driving, I saw a trainContinue reading “34 (Part 3)”

34 (Part 2)

Living is giving. Living is giving. The quote ran through my head as I drove through the Columbia River Gorge. And it continued as I drove through the Hood River area and through the Dalles. The phrase faded and I drove in silence, admiring the plateaus, the river, the waterfalls, the untouched hills, the windContinue reading “34 (Part 2)”
