I’m always fascinated by the bravery, insights, and determination of inventors. And I’m lucky enough to be part of our problem-solving team here at KHT – thinking, testing, trying, and retrying until we can “get it right” and solve your challenging PIA (Pain in the @%$) Jobs! Today marks a milestone in the history of […]
Hopefully, by now, everyone has come to terms with the results of our most recent elections. Whether you voted for or against the eventual winner, congratulations on voting! (I wrote this before election day, so I don’t know any outcomes — guessing winners and losers can be real PIA (Pain in the @%$) Jobs). For […]
Today marks a fun day in history – Nov 1, 1512, when Michelangelo invited folks to finally view his amazing work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. Can you imagine being a local resident, knowing he had worked on the project for four years, and finally walking in to see this […]
Pumpkin spice. It has become synonymous with autumn, evoking images of cozy sweaters, falling leaves, cool nights, and warm drinks. I thought I’d search out the origins and history of this beloved spice blend, and found out it stretches far beyond recent association with trendy lattes seasonal baked goods, and craft beers.

Cheese, glorious cheese. I think I just about like every cheese I’ve tasted. I like it cold, gooey warm, and piping hot. I put it on top of food, eat it on crackers (nothing quite like a slice of cheese, a piece of salami on a good cracker with a glass of my favorite vino!), […]
Bureaucracy. Seems like it’s everywhere we turn these days. It’s in the news all the time, especially with big organizations (and the government), years and years of processes that are just followed, and seldom analyzed and improved upon. One of the great things here at KHT is how my teams truly challenge themselves to “cut […]
It’s that time of year when all the kiddies make their way back to school. Hard to believe, as it seems like last week the summer recess bells were ringing. One of the school traditions I remember is bringing my lunch. As I got older, we had the option of “buying” lunch – you know […]
Just like most Americans, I have a first, middle, and last name, of which I am so very proud. My given middle name is Gerard, named after St. Gerard – the patron saint of Mothers. Back in 1975, my father Robert S. (Stanley) Kowalski, hung a shingle on a small 3,000 sq ft lakefront facility […]
