Inspiration. It’s part of the ethos here at KHT. Coupled with our ambition, curiosity, determination and desire, it helps drive our mission to solve your PIA (Pain in the @%$) Jobs! It gets us up in the morning and sometimes keeps us here after most people are already headed home for the day. Throughout our […]
Recently Jackie and I were driving back from a trip up to northern Michigan (it has amazing landscape, water, quaint little towns and shops – you need to go!). During our drive we kept encountering these beautiful farms, often featuring amazing red barns. Of course, our conversation led to barn design, what it must be […]
Labor Day weekend marks the perfect pause before the seasons begin to change – a moment to appreciate the dignity of all work and the gift of rest. It’s more than a day off; it’s a national “thank you” to everyone who builds, serves, creates, teaches, grows, drives, heals, and supports our communities each day. […]
Yep, it’s that time of year when the little munchkin’s head off to another exciting school year – some have started already, and some do not go back until after Labor Day. I can remember the excitement I had, seeing old friends, going to a new classroom, finding my seat, and getting to use all […]
If you’ve been to a few weddings lately, you probably know the flow hasn’t changed much: the march down the aisle, the vows, the rings, the kiss, the grand exit, and then the party, with a few time-honored traditions woven in. One of the most iconic rituals is showering the newlyweds with rice as they […]
Curiosity is a great word. For me (and for the gang here at KHT), it’s our never-ending pursuit of wonder, knowledge, exploring, testing, and problem-solving. There are so many people throughout history who were driven by curiosity, from the mundane to the amazing discoverers. I love reading about remarkable adventures – those who “headed West” […]
The other day, I was reading a report on a new car about to launch, and the author expressed one of its features in horsepower (even though it was a hybrid). It got me to thinking about where everyday measurements like horsepower came from and how we measure things – something that’s critically important here […]
Doesn’t it seem like things we use all the time, we just take for granted, and don’t think much about their origin or original design? You know – things are just what they are – stoplight design hasn’t changed much since it’s inception, US cars have drivers on the left, TV’s have bulky, easy to […]
When it comes to snack foods, I gotta admit I’m a champion. And if it involves dipping, just move aside, as I rock. You name it – cheese, veggie, fruity, chocolate, spicy, sweet, creamy – I pretty much like ‘em all. But, during the summer, for me, there’s nothing quite like all kinds of salsas […]
All of us have those special childhood times and events we remember that bring great memories. So, here’s one for you… Where were you (and who were you with) when you had your first Slurpee (and associated brain freeze)? For me, it was at K-Mart back when they were called Icee’s, pretty sure, with some […]
