Last week I spoke to the Sidney Rotary about Against the Grain.
Decades ago, they gave me a scholarship that helped me keep a job where I discovered business technology. That experience shaped my career.
Pretty cool to come full circle.

Learning “Ah! Leah!” for my bar band brought back memories of the Toledo Speedway Jam, including the time I triggered a mass roadside bathroom break on I-75.
Quite a day. I even remember some of the music.

Two bottles of homemade hooch on my shelf. One nearly beat Buffalo Trace in a family taste test. The other is waiting to become my favorite moonshine. One represents what I've accomplished. The other, what's still possible.
What's on your shelf?

When launching a book and starting a new job aren't enough, join a band. I auditioned for lead singer of a local bar band called 5 Card Charlie. Got the gig!
Now to learn a few dozen songs and get my voice back in shape. It's been 30 years!
