Hunting For Treasure
Forrest Fenn is a retired art dealer, businessman, and U.S. Air Force veteran who lives near Santa Fe, New Mexico. About a decade ago, he hid a bronze chest filled with gold and jewels somewhere in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. The clues that could lead someone to find the treasure were contained…
Read MoreDuck, Duck, Goose
On my morning walk, I pass a small lake where several geese families live. Earlier this spring, the goslings started showing up. Ultimately there were three sets of goslings that came every morning to graze in one of the lawns next to the lake. The first family had three goslings the first time I saw…

When Hercules was a fair-faced youth with his life before him, he went out one morning on an errand. As he walked, his heart was full of bitter thoughts because others no better than himself were living in ease and pleasure, while his life was full of labor and pain. He came to a place…
Read MoreHappy New Year?
When we wish someone a ‘Happy New Year’ it is not the emotion of happiness we are invoking, rather we are wishing them a fortunate and lucky year. Interestingly, a wish is a strong desire for something that probably won’t happen. So as we welcome in the new year, we are (mostly inadvertently) saying, “I…

If you haven’t seen “Abstract: The Art of Design” on Netflix I highly recommend you watch it. I love the play on the word “Abstract” in the title. An abstract is a fairly detailed summary of a topic, which describes the show well. Abstract is something existing in thought or as an idea but not…

This past week several team members from Kimray attended the Annual Gathering of the Games. We heard great speakers and attended breakout sessions packed with information and examples that we are bringing back to improve how we play the game.

I was fortunate to get to see the movie, “Rush: Cinema Strangiato 2019” last week in the theater. It showed all over the United States at basically the same time on Wednesday night. If you are a Rush fan, then you understand why this was a significant event. If you are not a Rush fan,…
Read MoreGreat Expectations
Depending on your expectations, this Musing is either unfortunately or fortunately not about the Charles Dickens novel. I would, however, like to retell a story about expectations. A butcher is watching over his shop one day when a dog comes in. He shoos him away, but the dog comes back. Then the butcher notices a…
