I am sitting in the hospital room looking at a topless baby lying quietly across the bare skin of his mother. We both know you know already, but Charles “Chazz” Constantine Nash was born yesterday, May 28th at 4:56 p.m.. He was 7 lbs 9 oz, 20 inches in length and had a 37 cm [...]
Sitting here, staring out the window. The rain is coming down and work is wrapping up. This is my first full day as a 38 year old. Grey in my beard, 20 year old ladies (who look 14) sitting at the table behind me. Sheesh, I heard them say they attend Penn State. What a [...]
It is funny how the mind works and how a smell, a song, a photo can bring back a throng of emotion. It was Saturday, and Rena and I were walking through downtown, passing a hotel where we had all stayed as a family. Rena’s mom and dad, my mom, and the two of us [...]

A peaceful, early morning cab ride to the Le Gare L’Est in Paris (Paris East Train Station), I grab a coffee and a pain du chocolate; what else in the world could be more perfect? It is a little before 8 a.m. in the morning, the sun is coming up in the east, casting [...]
Man it’s hot in the desert in September…
I wake from a six hour slumber to see the map, and the city below is Tehran, Iran. There is nothing but desert for miles.
The 777 is moving quickly over the waters of the Arabian Gulf (Persian Gulf – the locals hate it being [...]
After a long week of meetings and late night business calls from the US (due to the 7 hour time difference) I was able to celebrate the Labor Day weekend with my lovely bride. After her hellish flight over, we left Frankfurt airport to make our journey to Munich.
The ride was long, [...]
