Two hundred fifty years ago, a bold idea took root: that people could govern themselves, that individual rights came before government overbearance, and that freedom carried both opportunity and responsibility. That idea became the United States. As we celebrate America’s 250th tomorrow, this is not simply a moment to look backward. It is an opportunity […]
I just love our language and also finding out the history of things we often think and then say, without really pondering why we say it. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take KHT on the road at the Shot Show in Vegas (thanks to those who stopped by the booth!!). Vegas […]
Father’s Day is a special day for me – thinking of Dad, and being a Dad and a Grandpa. Let’s face it, Dads are amazing – loving, insightful, strong, patient, friend, counselor, consoler, and so much more. Some of the best memories I have of my Dad are the advice he gave me over the […]
The other day, I was out on the shop floor ”visiting” with my team (actually simply being nosy!) when I came across an empty box – a container of “nothing.” Once again, my amazing team had completed another wonderful PIA (pain in the @%$) Job for a very good customer – something that always puts […]

Does the phrase have ties to a specific religion or culture? Is […]
Memorial Day for me is a special day, filled with honor, reflection and respect. I have the gift and privilege of living in a small community tucked along Lake Erie just west of downtown Cleveland. Nestled on the shore, it is a delight to feel the fresh breeze and enjoy the sunrises, sandy beach and […]
Letters and Thank You notes. At times, they feel like the “proper” thing to send, while other times they are just what’s needed for a business inquiry or transaction. So many times, throughout the day, I find myself jumping on my email account, banging out some correspondence, reading a few text messages from family and […]

If you’ve ever wanted to have a fun vacation, visit Washington D.C., and especially visit the U.S. Capitol Building. The first time I saw it in person, I have to admit it was a breathtaking moment: that giant grand dome rising above the National Mall, white marble, long steps majestically framed by a blue sky […]
