Along with this, deciding what would be most needed on my final journey and what would be hard to leave behind was a very long and thoughtful process. I first gathered photos and items to be representative of different aspects of things and people I will leave behind. All the items fit together one way or another to come together for the big picture of what will be more difficult about taking my final journey at the end of…

It was pure serendipity that Della and Jim both sold their most prized possession to buy a gift that accompanies the others prized possession.

A business trip took us to The MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It was a fantastic Travel Meeting and let’s hope what happened in Las Vegas didn’t stay in Las Vegas. Ricky and I were eager to return to the office and share.

There have been many teachers that have taught me alot, but one very noteworthy friend takes the top spot. I would like to honor Jeff Strobl as the light in the darkness from my deranged junior year of high school. He was not only a teacher, but a mentor that I could talk to about anything. He looks up to me similarly to that of a family member: like a son he never had. Even from the first day we met, he knew I had potential to do extraordinary things in life. Walking to his class the first…

The ocean’s agency is performed through fortuity or serendipity – this is related to the familiar ‘message in a bottle’ trope. The seashore becomes the contact point between the land, with its associated humanity, and an agential sea. We see this in Ruth’s very first musings on the ocean when she finds the plastic…
