I dined in at a restaurant 2 weeks ago; the place was dead. The owner told me they've been pretty slow. The food was great and I told her I'd pass the word along to "my friends" I published my blog on Bann Thai in the morning. By the evening, they sold out of food. #WordOfMouth

A friend of mine was mocked at QuikTrip for wearing her hijab. I just don’t get it. Why does a stranger wearing something like a scarf so strongly affect another person? Surely we can be better than that.

If you’re the praying type, say a prayer for my father who had a heart attack and fortunately is in stable condition at the hospital. Unfortunately he will miss seeing all his beloved grandkids over Christmas but we are hoping for a speedy recovery. 🙏

One day my daughter is going to ask me, “Dad, do you love the Shockers more than me?” I’m going to look her directly in the eyes and say, “No sweetheart. But some days it’s pretty close like when you beat the No. 6 team in the country.” What. A. Win.

On the way home from Chuck E Cheese, my daughter said “So much fun!” followed by “I love you, daddy” The remainder of the drive was spent with happy tears. There is NEVER a day that goes by where I don’t count my blessings with her. Tell your kids you love them everyday.
