These past few weeks have been crazy busy yet wonderful. Lately, I’ve really come to appreciate those quiet moments when they happen. Last Wednesday I was on my way to the Kent office when I got a text from my coworker pal Jill Bell. “I know this is totally last minute, but do you have time for lunch?”We’ve been trying to get together to work on a few projects, marketing, and event dates but had to bail at the 11th hour because stuff happens and we’re all so busy. Yes I can! I’m actually just 2 miles up Benson Highway and headed in your direction. Let's do it!  I was first to show up at one of our favorite lunch spots in Kent, Washington on East Hill. Curry & Kabab is a wonderful locally owned Indian Food restaurant. I’m such a raving fan of this friendly and comfy little place and the ... 08/06/2016

The Minkler Expedition, aka  Seniors of Discovery Expedition 2015 will be taking to the great I-90 eastbound across country at 6:00 am sharp Tuesday morning. Destination Branson, Missouri.It’s been a busy day. I completed my final training this morning with Captain Keith. This was my 4th and final exercise at the helm of our 1998 Dodge diesel 3/4 ton pickup, 5 speed manual with Prairie Schooner attached, up and down freeways and winding side roads to South Hill Puyallup and back to Kent.I think I did okay, but caught myself using the brakes a little too much a few times instead of gearing down and using engine compression. Yet, I’m confident I can do this. It’s a little over a 2,000 mile trek ... 08/09/2015

I had a real treat this morning with coworker and good friend Jill Bell. We met with Gary Wagner and crew to give a presentation about our #mobilecomcamp social media class coming up at #WestfieldSC later this month.I haven’t seen Gary for years. I remember meeting him when I first started in the title industry back in 1984. He lives and works in Kent, Washington and their family owned real estate company is one of the oldest independents in the area.One delightful surprise today was Gary shares a passion with me for old maps. He has several in his office and this one in the photo dates back to circa 1895. I cracked up after Jill and I left. When I looked at my camera roll I discovered the map unintentionally turned out to be a selfie. The map is framed and behind glass and I was caught... 06/19/2015

Do you know the meaning of the coins? I did not until a few years ago. A coin is a message to the family that someone stopped by to pay respect...A penny means you visited to pay respect.A nickel means you and the deceased trained at boot camp together.A dime means you served together,and a quarter means you were there when the soldier was killed. God Bless you all who served. I didn't always agree with the government but I did always respect those that chose to serve.Thank you! I remain profoundly humbled and appreciate your sacrifice. 05/25/2015

I was in Federal Way Wednesday morning shooting some video at our branch and having a great deal of fun. It was all about the #SEAHAWKS today! We were creating a 'team spirit' funny video, then off to our Kent Branch, just across the valley. So arriving in Kent (long story short) this gal in her great big high riding 3/4 ton super customized pickup truck with oversized tires and one of those big ol' custom made wraparound the front end tube bumpers tries to pull through an empty parking stall and hooks the front bumper of this car and totally rips the front end off! As the story unfolded the driver of said big bad oversized truck made every attempt to document it, did not flee the scene, took photos, and went through the building to find the car owner... No luck. It sat this way all day... 01/30/2015

Hi all: I hope you have a great weekend planned. We are in the midst of another amazing summer. Although they're short up here, nothing could be nicer. I was just thinking about how important it is to stick to our word and do what we say. It's so tempting to cut a corner or try and find an easier way. But the importance of being earnest is the high road and the only road. In our business (building maintenance and janitorial), we strive to be the most professional and upfront firm there is. It's an extremely competitive business populated by everyone from ma and pa outfits to heavy hitters who are national. But one thing will never change as long as my boss and I are here. We will be the straight shooters who are reliable and do what we say. We recently won an account that was 7 years in... 08/08/2014
