A Break from the Net

Hello.  My name is Tripp and I’m addicted to the internet.
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 [...]

Life Remodel

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 [...]

Graduations are similar.  You [...]

I was watching an episode of the “The Office” last week. I love that show. My wife hates it. I always love to try to look at life through the lens of Michael Scott.
Last week’s episode began with Michael Scott excitedly running around the office telling everyone he needed something great [...]

I was reading an article in the most recent issues of Fast Company magazine and it talked about the way most Americans have more self control when they talk about the future. I’ll start my diet next week…I’ll begin saving for retirement next year…and on and on.
What makes us so confident about tomorrow? [...]
