Your Favorite President
Who is your Favorite President of the United States? And why? I grew up in the eras of Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and have raised children during eras of Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden. It’s amazing to think there have been so few presidents in my lifetime, only 8 of them, as I’m a few […]
Does Your Company Got Talent?
As the two co-workers took the stage, ready to sing a karaoke version of what Billboard has called the greatest song duet of all time, the epic ballad “Endless Love” by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross, I sat off to the side squinting and squirming anticipating the train wreck we were about to witness.

72 Hours of Greatness: The Legend of Redford Hewlett
For the past month we have hardly seen our 16-year old son, Redford. He is a straight-A student, leads our church congregation in music every Sunday, and seems to be asked to a girl’s choice dance at a different school every other evening. And yet he has gone missing for almost the entirety of […]

The Dad Health Promise – The Legend of Scott Law
On this blog, as you know, I am in constant search of ways to inspire you, and me, while watching others who are valiantly keeping, or sadly breaking, The Promise. I know I am the example most of the time of how I break The Promise and vow to do better. But today’s post […]
No Tipping Allowed
In my home state, there is a new bagel shop in town that does NOT allow customers to leave a tip. The owner of Cheryl’s Bagels, Cheryl Mignone, says she was tired of having to tip someone for doing next to nothing and shaming them into tipping once the iPad was turned towards them. Here’s […]
The Piano Guys: A Teacher and Student Promise
A few weeks ago I reached out to my friends, The Piano Guys, Steven and Jon, to let them know about the passing of my Grandma Julie. We had made the connection years ago that she had been their music teacher at Highland High School in Salt Lake City, UT. That was a crazy […]
