We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.® Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum It was Wednesday, April 19th, 1995. I was sitting in Mr. Barnes 6th Grade science class at Oakdale School. His room was at the end of the hall with the black door across from Mrs. Harkins. I was sitting at the middle table in front of the chalk board. We were making caramel out of cubes of sugar. That’s…
Leave a CommentA Thought Over Coffee Posts
That is strange to write actually but it is true. I grew up on Nashville Coffee. When people find out I am (or was) in the coffee business, it always comes up: How did you get in to coffee??

While it often feels like I’m being more productive than ever, that my content is better than ever, that my health is better than ever, some days can feel like a huge drag. Like a weight is keeping me underwater. No progress. I have a schedule I’m trying to keep. I have 3 kids at home I’m trying to entertain. I have a business I’m trying to run with my wife as she is trying to keep the house and…
1 CommentWe have taken all this COVID-19 stuff pretty seriously and pretty much stayed home. I know there are lots of folks out there that don’t seem to think it is as bad as it is out there but, either way, we are staying in as much as possible. We have been working from home (we own / lead a real estate team called the Duncan Group with Engel & Volkers in Edmond) but that has been mostly content writing, doing live streams, and helping clients we have already been working with.
