Monday 5 Things…..OH CANA-bis….. Last week, on October 17th, Canada — with much fanfare around the world — became the “first” large country to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Ok, Uruguay did so in 2013, but who am I to…
Monday 5 Things…..Happy Thanksgiving Eh….. As US banks and financial institutions take a break today for Columbus Day, north of the 49th parallel our Canadian friends are marking the change in seasons and celebrating Thanksgiving. Here are some of the…
Monday 5 Things…..On Black and Red….. Hi. My name is Paul and I’m a binger. I cut the cable cord cold-turkey a few years and haven’t missed television at all. However, under the cool-light glow of either my iPad or…
Monday 5 Things…..More….. An almost full moon lit the night sky. Epic, mountainous cumulous clouds traversed the midnight vista, changing shape with the wind-stream towering over an angry ocean. Never have I seen a night sky like this. The simplicity…
Monday 5 Things…..Would Atlas Shrug Today?…. Last week was an admittedly crazy week for me. Too much mental clutter, worry, doubt and feeling disconnected — most of which was self-induced — tapped my energy and productivity. I suspect that, like…
Monday 5 Things…..Shifting Gears….. Having recently spent a few days photographing some of the most incredible cars in the world, and if you recall from M5T a couple of weeks ago, I paused to contemplate life overlooking the ocean and cars on…
Monday 5 Things…..Labored Thought….. Have you ever wondered why you think about the things you do? Do you take time to think through your actions, your motives, your challenges, yours habits, your dreams? Do you find your inner voice is…
Monday 5 Things…..The Important of Automobiles I secured the perfect parking spot by arriving at my desired location at 4:45 on a calm, serene, cool and cloudy Sunday morning; California affording me another day of welcomed reprieve from stifling Savannah…
Monday 5 Things…..The F Word….. Recently I was moved to tears by some extraordinary stories of forgiveness. Forgiveness that defies logic and that can only be given when a heart is truly moved with compassion and love. A lot of…
Monday 5 Things.....Lexikos..... Lexikos…pertaining to words. A somewhat apropos follow up to last week’s missive about ‘words.’ Today’s M5T takes a look at some other words that have become front and center in the idiolect of this generation. 1. "Selfie"…
Monday 5 Things…..Words – Redux….. For a multitude of reasons and experiences (and while I have always tried to place great focus and thought into words) this past week I have been inordinately focused on words. Written, and spoken by me and…
Monday 5 Things…..Just Be….. Have you had those times in life of too little sleep, too much self-doubt, too many questions and inconsistencies in your life and those around you? Pacing, whether literally or metaphorically like a caged animal? Needing…
Monday 5 Things.....What's Your Bold Move Today?..... So. Here we are again. It’s Monday morning… the start of a new week. What will today, and this week look like for you? Will it be the same old same old? Or…
Monday 5 Things…..Mutatio Perspectiva….. Disjointed. Hectic. Frayed. Frantic. Knotted. The juxtaposition of the chaos of the back of a tapestry that is necessary for the beauty and richness of an arras when viewed from the front. How often does our…
Monday 5 Things…..Give A Little Bit….. During a decidedly un-spirited drive, whilst pondering life meandering through oak covered streets of this genteel Hostess City of the South, a set of Supertramp songs came on the radio. The albums played harkened…
Monday 5 Things…..High Value….. M. Scott Peck wrote that “until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.” Frustrations. Excuses. Low self-worth. Recent discussions with some friends about…
Monday 5 Things…..Considering Beltlines and Treadmills….. A couple of days of meetings in a great city this past week were good for my head and heart. Discussing the past, present and future of a certain Italian brand of four-wheeled design…
Monday 5 Things.....Of Creativity..... A stroll down a literal road less travelled on a hot and humid Savannah afternoon opened up to an open-air gallery of graffiti. I paused at each creation, wondering what went on in the mind of the…
On a list of things that are not commonly associated with plastic surgery, “easy,” “painless” and “convenient enough to squeeze into your daily life” are the three characteristics that would hit the top. What if Savannah Plastic Surgery offered a…
Monday 5 Things.....Today..... The pre-dawn air was peaceful as a crescent moon meandered along its orbit across a star-lite sky. On a fourth-floor deck just outside of Atlanta, with freshly brewed cup of Sumatra coffee in hand, I watched the…
Monday 5 Things.....Storms..... A week of intense -- at times torrential -- rains and flash floods, the official start of hurricane season with remembrance of lives radically changed by the likes of Irma, Sandy, Floyd and Harvey and once again…
Monday 5 Things.....You Are Not..... Please forgive me if today’s M5T is lacking in wit, humor, or wisdom. Today is from the heart not from the head and touches on issues that I know we all have dealt with at…
Monday 5 Things…..Of Theodore….. It has been a week of ruminating over a childhood past, countries visited, friends made, dreams in development, overcoming fears, recognizing mistakes and embracing victories…all wrapped up with the joys and sorrows of a life in…
Monday 5 Things…..From Mom….. A weekend of reflection about Mother’s Day has shaped today’s M5T. It’s been over a year since she passed away, but was really over 2 years before then that the wretched disease of Alzheimer’s took her…
