The other day, I was reading an article about the decline (yet again) in national math scores, and how “children today” are not properly prepared for college courses. I think we can all agree it’s a shame and something that needs attention. It made me think about my own studying for tests as a kid, […]
As thermal processing experts, we know a thing or two about temperatures and solving your PIA (pain in the @%$) Jobs! For those of us incredibly lucky folks living along the beautiful North Coast, we also know about frigid weather – bone chilling winds and finger tingling cold. Add to that unpredictable “snow bands” – […]
Here at KHT, we operate around a driving principle – namely an obsession to tackle and solve your PIA (Pain in the @%$) Jobs! As I was typing this in an email to a potential customer, it struck me that we’ve used the “@” symbol in our promise for decades, to help us communicate not […]
With Valentine’s Day coming up, you can show your love in a bunch of different ways – a dozen red roses, a heart-shaped box of chocolates, a home-cooked meal, a candlelight dinner night out, a love letter (not email!!), or a classic gesture, a little sweeter … a box of Sweethearts conversation hearts. These classic […]
“Winter” means different things around the United States. Here in Cleveland, it is associated with snow scrapers, salt trucks, slush (Ugh!), heavy coats, and frozen faces. Folks in New England can almost guarantee they’ll have lots of snow, while Floridians might see a few flurries every few years. On the West Coast, in Los Angeles, […]
Just the word Wham-O, and I immediately think of my childhood and fun toys – hula hoops, super balls, slip n slide, hacky sacks, and of course, frisbees. There are not many toys out there as easy, fun, and everlasting as a frisbee. Before it was a staple of college quads, picnics, beach days, and […]
Growing up and living most of my life in Northeast Ohio gives me a somewhat unique perspective on snow, snowstorms, and snow drifts. I can’t count how many times I’ve ventured down the driveway to shovel, only to find a big drift wrapping around the car or garage. Part PIA (pain in the @%$) and […]
It’s easy to take our bodies for granted, but if you stop and think about it, they’re home to an array of wonders. Consider, for example, that our eyes can see distant galaxies, our hair contains traces of gold, and our veins could stretch for 60,000 miles if laid end to end (that’s enough to […]
Now that we’ve turned the corner on 2026, you’re likely thinking about starting the year off right with better exercise and diet. Did you know next Wednesday is National Take the Stairs Day? It’s a quirky, uplifting celebration that encourages everyone – office workers, students, and public officials alike – to skip the elevator and […]
With all the sports on TV over the past month, I’m really enjoying one thing – the celebrations. Seems like every sport has created its way to celebrate. And once it’s set, the kids come up with something new. If you’ve ever played, there’s nothing like celebrating a win (you should see my Euchre shuffle) […]
