Saturday Baring - Lifetime Sharing
Yes, I know I'm corny. Always have been and probably always will be. I like to setup routines and traditions. This is what I did with

I Wish My Dog Could Talk
When I get home, I find myself staring into the eyes of my dog just wondering, what is on her mind. It's just her and me at home. She knows when I get home from work and she's waiting at the door with her leash in her mouth. She's almost the perfect companion and friend. With just one thing missing, she can't talk. If she could, I would ask her everything about everything. But I can get her to bark on command. She has about four or five different types of barks. So what
A Big Life Lesson from a Small Town
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. Robert Frost We've been ignored, criticized, mocked, and written-off. Why do we persist? Why do we continue? My friends and I are from a small town in the Midwest. To deal with the omnipresent boredom, we created a band in our late teens. It was this or drugs and alcohol. Some say band life leads to those things; but for us, we found the band to be our saving grace. We were terrible. We couldn't pla
Getting Introspective During My Commute
My commute to work is 60 miles each way. In the mornings, I listen to the news and podcasts and in the evenings I catch up on business calls. However, when I am not listening or talking, I'm thinking about everything! I often wish I could document my thoughts on paper to write down my thoughts and feelings. However, that's not really practical or even safe. Now with BabbleStash, the questions prompt and guide me to share specific ideas and feelings. I can now safely share
"Are We There Yet?"
"Are we there yet?" Is probably one of the most annoying questions to get on a car ride. Made even more annoying by the frequency it is asked in a five minute period. On our last car ride, after we made it to our destination, I realized that none of my kids asked me that question. While I was happy not to hear it; it also made me sad knowing that my kids are getting older. In the back of my mind, I decided on the next car trip to pull out BabbleStash and record the kids aski
Time Travel is Now Possible
Sort of. Maybe stating that time travel is possible is a bit of an exaggeration. However, imagine one year from now, you are getting specific advice from yourself one year earlier. In a way you can travel into the future by giving the future you advice. The problem is you are recording the advice now to be listened to in a year. So while not the time travel Isaac Asimov or HG Wells would describe, it still is the future you receiving a specifically crafted message listeni
Stop and Smell the Little Tree Black Ice Car Air Freshener
Summer life is a blur. Each day seamlessly blends into the next day. Only the weekends seem to break up the monotony of summer. Sometimes it's hard to remember that life is a journey and to stop and smell the flowers along the way. I had a great reminder of this on a recent family trip to Los Angeles. We were trying to get in as much as possible in terms of sightseeing as well as fun. It was a chore and not fun planning all the fun. In the middle of our trip, we took an
