0300 – Safety as a Concept In Training and in Life

May 23, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Sometimes it seems like we live in a world of rules. Often times these rules are in lists that are so long and complicated that they are impossible to “know” and even more difficult to follow and enforce. The barrage of rules can be so overwhelming that at times, by some, the rules are simply ignored. This obviously leads to the exact opposite effect that the rules themselves were intended to cause.  Today we are going to take a look at safety in training and how we can apply those principles to life.

0299 – Getting Children Into Car Seats Safely

May 9, 2012 by 1 Comment

Those of you out there that have children will understand what I mean when I say that my whole outlook on life changed when my kids entered my life.  All of a sudden, it wasn’t just about me any more.  A little person was dependent on my judgement and actions for survival.  It was a big responsibility that resulted in a big shift.  I recently got an email from Michelle that illustrates this point exactly.  Today we are going to take some time to look at how we can keep our children and ourselves safe while we are focused on an important task, putting our kids in their car seats.

0247 – Dealing with Christmas Scum

January 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Disclaimer – No promises today on cleanliness of language or attitude, just good personal content.

For a while we have been planning a trip down to Florida between Christmas and New Years.  My in-laws live in Florida and have plenty of room and the pool, beach and sunshine provide plenty of distraction from the winter gloom of Cleveland.  Since they were up in Cleveland for the holiday we all were on the same flight so traveling with the kids would be super easy.

We got word about 12 hours before we hopped a jet down south that there were going to be some additional distractions.  A repairman had notified my FIL that there were several broken windows in the rear of the house.  We didn’t have much more info than that.  The police were called and we finished packing up.  Last week I talked about dealing with Christmas trash, the kind that results from all the girts under the tree.  Today I am talking about dealing with the Christmas trash that has two legs.

0245 – The Christmas Spirit

December 24, 2011 by Leave a Comment

I just wrapped up the last of my Christmas shopping this morning and I have to tell you I had a great time.  There is something about the people out shopping on Christmas Eve.  I don’t know what it was like where you are at, but everyone was patient in the parking lots, driving slower than usual, being more courteous than usual.  I watched a woman with a large order allow a man with a small order and a limp move to the front of the line.  Folks were smiling, waving and saying, “Merry Christmas!” to total strangers.  If you were feeling bah humbug, it would be pretty hard not to catch at least a bit of the spirit.  It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.  Yet, crime, violence and the dirt bags that perpetrate the bad stuff are not sleeping.  They are out there doing what they do best at a time of year that is easier than ever to do it.  Today we are going to take a look at protecting ourselves when all we want to do is give everybody a big hug.

0241 – The Throw Away Wallet

December 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment

We know that the best way to avoid the consequences of violence is to avoid violence all together.  If a dirtbag on the street decides to take my wallet and I truly believe that giving up the wallet will end the situation, I have no problem giving up the wallet.  All that the wallet contains is a small amount of cash.  Would you pay $100 to avoid getting hit, kicked, cut, shot or stabbed?  I would.  Even when I dominate that conflict there can be negative consequences.  I don’t want those negative consequences.  It is for this reason that I carry a Throw Away Wallet.
