The Power of Incremental Improvement
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? This is really a principle to live by, not a singular thing. My jazz improv teacher Lloyd Hebert, taught it to me while learning music theory on the piano. That is this. Do what you’re doing with complete attention to teach yourself correctly. This means…
Pushing Pause on the Farmers’ Market
Well it didn’t rain today for the Blanco Brew Market. For that I’m grateful. I cooked and cleaned all day yesterday and rose in the wee early morning hours to finish up. There was a fine mist in the cool morning air and a surprising number of people came out early to buy. There’s a…

This Week’s Menu

My Second Market Day
It looks like every time I do this event, I learn something new. Yes, I still had some trepidation. So I sat down with myself and walked through where the negative energy was coming from. It didn’t take long to sort it out. I’m engaged in hands-on market research. As a new member of this…
Walt Disney on Character Development
Just wanted to share this wonderfully down-to-earth interview with Walt Disney in 1959. When you put it in context, that’s four years after the opening of Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
