When my girls were little (and now as I watch my grandchildren curl up in front of the TV), few shows have shaped their early learning quite like Sesame Street. They learned their letters and numbers there, sure. But they also absorbed something quieter and deeper: kindness, patience, cooperation, belonging, friendship, and so much more. Without […]
Over the past few months, I’ve really enjoyed the bulb flowers that Jackie cares for during the winter season. We’ve had nice blooms from our cactus and holiday plants, especially Amaryllis– some around Thanksgiving, some around Christmas, and some into the new year. I’m fascinated by how they seem to sit dormant, and then “pop” […]
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 […]
