My Uncle Frank's old saying about not getting to heaven in a Red Canoe, if that Red Canoe don't belong to you...has had me thinking for a long, long time. What the heck does that mean?

063: Anniversaries Suck
Leading Chaos Podcast
Anniversaries suck. I'd take a "Happy Birthday" over a "Best Wishes for Your Anniversary" any day. At least with birthday's you get asked, "What are you looking forward to this year?" Unless you have those witty friends who love to tease you about another year older and deeper in debt jokes. Most importantly with birthdays you know what you are celebrating. It the day you were born. Clear, cut and clean. Anniversaries can mark both events that you relish and some events that you would rather forget, but because it was so significant the event gets immortalized with an anniversary every year....

Good Tidiings Mr Grinch
Leading Chaos Podcast
We all recall a pivotal moment in life that shines so bright we can not look away. Well that moment happened to me one snowy night while watching the 1966 animated cartoon by based upon Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Sure, perhaps like you, I had watched that half hour show before, throughout my childhood, but that just goes to show you that sometimes the most obvious doesn’t reveal itself until we are ready. So it was for the Grinch, as it was for me in this episode of the Leading Chaos Podcast I wrote the first draft of the Response Crisis Intervention Curriculum in 1986....
