Do you remember dates? I mean special events like friends birthdays, anniversaries, mother’s day, etc. I have never been really good at remembering dates for my friends. Of course I know my close families birthdays and I always remember Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, but I rarely remember to tell my friends happy birthday or happy [...]
Have you ever noticed someone that is just 100% sold out and passionate about what they do? Are you that person? One definition of “passion” from M-W.com is an intense, driving, or overmastering conviction. I was at a real estate law seminar for attorneys and legal staff this week - a place [...]

Now, the chorus rejoices, “Hi Tripp!”
Like most attorneys, I imagine, I spend a great deal of time at my desk in front of my computer. Now, it’s not just attorneys, it’s everyone. Everyone has planted themselves in front of their computer and they can’t get [...]
When my wife and I got married we moved into one of her grandfather’s rental houses. It needed some work to say the least. He did some things for us like install new vinyl siding, but we did a lot of the major things like add a concrete driveway, paint, new kitchen cabinets [...]
