Monday 5 Things…..Super Powers….. Waiting for the red-eye from SJC back to ATL, I smiled as the young boy zipped around the Delta Sky Lounge with his cape pretending to fly. When I asked him who he was, he stopped,…

Monday 5 Things….. Stop….. I was looking at picture I took a few years ago that had a stop sign behind a beautiful Ferrari. For whatever reason, I fixated on that sign and got thinking about things that we should…

Monday 5 Things…..Give….. So much of life seems to be built on the idiom of “give and take.” Last week, M5T discussed things to “take” in life. It seemed to be appropriate this week to consider things we all have the propensity…
Monday 5 Things…..Take….. A leisurely, lazy Sunday brunch. The kind of brunch that leaves one properly caffeinated, appropriately mimosa-ed (if there is such a word) and well fed. The kind of brunch that frames a day of taking time to just…
Monday 5 Things…..Two Birthdays….. The two countries who share the largest unprotected border in the world celebrate their birthdays this week. Today Canada turns 152 and on Thursday this week the U.S. turns 243. Once again on this birthday week,…

Monday 5 Things…..No Time….. Not a cloud was in the sky on Friday as I drove down to the “Land of the Big Rat,” which some call Orlando or Disney, for meetings and a conference this week. An overabundance of troopers…
Monday 5 Things…..Not to Morn but to Praise….. Driving by Hunter Airfield Base earlier this week, I slowed along the road to watch a hulking C-17 landing on the airfield. I recalled a funeral I attended in 2012 for fallen…
Monday 5 Things…..Kimya….. Kimya is an interesting word. I first learned the expression while working in East Africa. In Swahili it translates to silence. Kimya is also a Persian female’s name that means precious, unique or hard to find. Kimya came to…
Monday 5 Things…..Unspoken….. All week I had this nagging voice in my head asking, ‘Why didn’t you just say it? Why didn’t you just ask her?’ Things I wish I had said to my mom while she was still here…
Monday 5 Things…..“I’ll Take W’s for $200 Alex”….. Today’s M5T was inspired while driving at undisclosed speeds, on undisclosed red clay Georgia back-roads singing along with Daltrey at an undisclosed volume, all while attempting to keep up the syncopation on…
