I’m sure I’m not the only one counting down the last days of the existence of Cadillac Ranch. Boy, but it’s been one heck of a run. I find myself of two minds. I know they’ve said they’ll reopen with a different concept, and I’m looking forward to seeing what that will be, but there’s…
DetailsCan it be? Is Cadillac Ranch, the almost 25-year old country bar which set the standards for every other country dance hall around, really closing? Sadly, yes. As you’ve probably seen on Facebook, or heard through the grapevine, Cadillac Ranch’s last evening open will be March 26th, 2016. As they’ve stated, they intend to…
DetailsJust a few short days ago I approached the edge of a cliff on the island of St. Maarten and looked down, and what I saw took my breath away. It was a moment I will never forget. The crashing surf, the water that stretched endlessly away from me, and the sunshine blazing through the…
DetailsI’ve watched people dance on the social dance floor for close to 20 years, and have been teaching for over 10. I’ve seen a few things that are worth mentioning, and so will be doing a multiple part series on Becoming A Better Dancer. Welcome to Part 1! Part 1: DON’T OVERSHOOT YOUR BUTT! Often, when…

Success notwithstanding, her client did not believe he was enough (defined as ADEQUATE or SUFFICIENT). No matter how much he…
DetailsAny time a group of people gets together, the possibility for conflict increases. We all have opinions, and they all matter. It’s a free country. However…HOWEVER!!! That does not mean we all want to hear each others’ opinions – especially if they’re negative. That kind of conversation is really complaining & gossiping, which, while entertaining,…
DetailsNever underestimate the power of The Grapevine – meaning, I’m sure most of you have heard of the changes at Cadillac Ranch. This affects Fridays and Saturdays, and may be upsetting. Please, try to make the best of this situation. Life is change, and we won’t like all of it. The key is to keep…
DetailsYou hear businesses talking about their Purpose, Vision, and Mission all the time – but why? What’s it REALLY mean? And who cares? And – here’s the big one – does it really matter to ME? I’m going to say, YES, it does. So many of us coast through life with the same daily grind. …
DetailsDo you ever feel like the man in this photo? I sure do. I woke up to this song running through my head. As we walk, there so many times when we cannot see where we’re going, or what’s ahead. I’m alive, even though a part of me has died. I know I’m not the only…
