I’m not entirely sure how this happened, but apparently we’ve turned Halloween into a major production at my office. 😂🎃

Five years ago, we decided to host a Halloween Open House instead of the traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas client appreciation events. Halloween is Tami’s favorite holiday, so that probably had something to do with it.

Fast forward five years and we’ve got a skeleton named Steve greeting guests, five hand-carved pumpkins, enough food to feed a small army and my wife taking a day off work to help me pull it all together.

We’ve added more food every year. We have Randy’s Donuts, Tami’s biscuits and gravy, Mom’s homemade cinnamon rolls and four kinds of soup for lunch, including my chili. And there is more....

This year, Tami has spent countless hours perfecting homemade sugar cookies. Meanwhile, I rushed through my five pumpkins and pretty much mailed it in. 😂 This year’s theme is AI and stock tickers. The creativity may have peaked in previous years!

It's become one of my favorite days at the office. It’s a lot of work, but getting to visit with clients, neighbors and friends makes it worth it.

If you’re in the neighborhood, come grab something to eat and say hello. It’s come and go, and everyone is welcome!

And if nothing else, come meet Steve. He’s been with us for years and still hasn’t asked for a raise. 💀

Got to grab lunch with my daughter Jayda recently. Doesn’t happen nearly enough these days!

A good friend once encouraged me to be intentional about spending time with my adult kids. His suggestion was to schedule coffee or lunch with them, maybe even weekly.

I’ve never quite figured out how to make that happen consistently with all three, but I’ve never forgotten the advice either.

It’s amazing how easily a month or two can go by without seeing each other, even though we all live relatively close. We text, have a family group chat and stay connected, but it’s just not the same.

Seems like yesterday we had two kids in high school and one in eighth grade. There was something going on almost every night. Games, activities, practices…we were busy!

Now they’re all adults, building their own lives, and I’m proud of them.

I still think about them every day. And like most parents, I suppose I occasionally wonder whether I’ve done enough to prepare them for life and whatever success looks like for each of them.

As for Jayda, she’s doing fantastic working for the Nebraska Sports Council! Proud of the young woman she’s become.

I think my friend’s advice is worth revisiting. Maybe weekly lunches aren’t realistic, but being more intentional about making time together certainly is.

And lunch with Jayda was a pretty good reminder of that. ❤️

SHOW UP!

Pretty simple message from my friend Toby, who recently took over as president of our Lincoln-Cornhusker Kiwanis Club.

Toby is actually the guy who recruited me to join Kiwanis, and I’m glad he did!

He’s got some pretty ambitious goals for our club, including getting more hands-on with service projects benefiting kids in our community and growing our membership so we can make an even bigger impact.

One thing I’ve really enjoyed is the mix of ages and backgrounds in our group. We have plenty of retired members with years of experience, along with younger members bringing different perspectives. I’ve enjoyed getting to know people I probably wouldn’t have met otherwise.

And we’d love to have some new faces join us!

We meet every Thursday over lunch at The Venue in the Cornhusker Room here in Lincoln. Visitors are always welcome, and there’s no pressure to join.

If you’re looking for a way to get more involved in Lincoln, meet some good people and help make a difference for local kids, come check us out.

Better yet, let me know and I’ll save you a seat!

One of my goals for 2026 was pretty simple. Get healthier!

At 52, I’ve become a lot more conscious of the importance of taking care of myself. Not just for me, but for the people I want to be around for in the years ahead.

I’ve lost almost 20 pounds this year, with more to go. But what I’m most encouraged about is HOW I’ve done it.

No dramatic diets. Haven’t given up everything I enjoy. Just trying to be more intentional about what I eat, what I drink and getting out to walk regularly.

And it hasn’t always been consistent! Work gets busy, schedules change, excuses become pretty easy to find. I suspect that’s a challenge for a lot of us.

I’ve also checked off the annual physical, dentist and other health appointments. Still need to get to the eye doctor!

My goal isn’t just to get healthier in 2026. It’s to build habits I can maintain in 2027 and beyond.

If you’ve been putting off taking better care of yourself, I hope you’ll find a little time to make it a priority. There are people who want you around for a long time!

And on a much less serious note…apparently I’ve accumulated a few stocking hats along the way. 😂 I’ve got about 10 Edward Jones hats to give away to anyone local who wants one. Just let me know!

I’ve used Win@Life for quite a while now, but I’m not sure I’ve ever really explained what I mean by it.

I’ve failed. I’ve been divorced. I’ve lost people I love. I’ve been told, in one way or another, that I wasn’t good enough. I’ve made plenty of mistakes and gone through periods of life that just sucked.

I’m guessing most people reading this have their own version of that list.
You just don’t see much of it on Facebook.

You see our vacations, kids, grandkids, anniversaries, accomplishments and smiling pictures. Mine included.

And honestly, I get it. I don’t particularly want Facebook to be a running list of everyone’s problems either. 😂

But sometimes all that good stuff can make us think everyone else has it figured out.

They don’t.

That’s why Win@Life is intentionally pretty vague for me.

Winning doesn’t have to mean making more money, getting promoted or accomplishing something everybody else notices.

Maybe your win is being a great grandparent. Getting a job. Losing 10 pounds. Finishing something you started. Getting through a really crappy year.
Or simply handling something today a little better than you would have five years ago.

I’ve always been competitive. I still am. But I’m figuring out that winning at life isn’t always about the scoreboard.

Sometimes just going through the suck and continuing to move forward is winning.

And sometimes it probably looks a little more like the picture I’m posting with this—sitting in a lake, enjoying the moment and not worrying too much about the scoreboard. 😂

That’s really what I mean when I say it.

Win@Life. Whatever that looks like for you.
