On Materialism: The Age of Entitlement
Friday, 01 December 2006
We’re living in a time when “want” and “need” have become synonyms, parallel in their definition, even in their weight. Our wants are no longer our desires or dreams, they are our demands and ransoms.

2008 Indy 500: Sharing, Remembering
Wednesday, 02 July 2008

We took a big step with our trip to the 2008 Indy 500. Our two oldest daughters opted out after getting their fill at last year’s rain soaked run. We invited Erik and Sara Phillips, our good friends from church, to join us. We got together the month before to talk about the trip and our plans. OK, so it felt a little more like we told them our plans and expected them to follow them. I guess that’s the advantage of experience, right?

How To: Be a Race Fan
Sunday, 18 February 2007

In recent years, being a race fan in America has been synonymous to being a NASCAR fan. It's the NBA, NFL and MLB of auto racing (though, personally I think it's more like the NHL).
