Operations management experts agree that to run a manufacturing production effort effectively you must understand how the products are designed and built to spot bottlenecks and flow issues. What sometimes we fail to see is that the metrics used to track and claim success are incorrect. If we focus on one dimension of the production […]

My Mom, The Colonel
Picture of my mom in front of an A-10, early 80s, courtesy of her friend Angelo of the CI Rangers. The toughest part of this cancer journey has been seeing my mom slowly deteriorate, an inevitable spiral that has forced me to reflect on who she was, and what she has accomplished. She’s a very […]
Wow! Let me tell you about how much more effective the follow for follow philosophy is when growing a brand on Instagram. Before mid September, we barely had 50 followers. Two weeks after dumping the 0 follows approach, we are getting closer to reaching 200! That’s phenomenal. 😎 I’m not sure who devised the methodology but […]

Lost in Thought (Poem)
Memories. That’s all I see around me. The places I used to go. The person I used to be. I wander, as a stranger in my own land, letting each recollection guide me to a better place, To where childhood dreams were full of wonder; a time when everything was possible. Instead, what remains is […]

When I got back home to the PNW, I realized mom needed some type of neurological rehabilitation routine and we never received confirmation from the doctors that this retraining was available. Weird.

The year was 2011…*sigh* It’s hard to start this post knowing there is no redeeming quality for […]
“Lilo is coming?” She kept asking me where my sister was as she stalled for time to remember my name. The gorgeous smile that came with that question had a hint of quiet apprehension, because I wasn’t supposed to be there and she knew it. My presence wasn’t unwelcomed, nevertheless she must have realized something […]

F@%k Cancer! (Prologue)
62 years. Is this all we get? She was supposed to grow old and gray. Maybe even die peacefully in her sleep at age 102, after reaping the rewards of the years she saved for retirement, for our colleges, for grandma’s funeral. Damn! She even saved for the grandkids that life never meant to deny […]
