“Steve, your phone is ringing,” I heard Rita say jolting me awake. A quick glance at the clock was not reassuring.
“Son, your mother fell, I need your help,” Dad spoke quietly. It was 1:05 AM.
We headed across town to the retirement village where my parents have an “independent living” apartment. It was an easy drive except for the flood of questions that hit me.

Golden State has waited forty years for this moment with a championship on the line. His team was down 2 – 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. So, what would you do if…
This morning “The Funk” stood by my bedside as I woke up. No, I wasn’t frightened or afraid. Funk’s mission was to block my path with a “dejected mood.” No real reason.

Tammy slipped-in the conference room as the General Manager was about to close the door.
“Another boring meeting,” she thought, “we sit at the table together, but rarely deal with the real issues. What a waste. I’ve got too much to do.”

The department heads completed their routine…
