Our 'Eat the Marshmallow Right Now' programming served us well in the wild, but in the age of deadlines and dessert tables, it's the second marshmallow that holds the key to thriving. Sometimes, evolution has a wicked sense of humor, doesn’t it Baird?

Happy Monday my friend.

Burnt ends are the best (on BBQ, that is)!

Fabulous as always. I particularly like the Buddhist rider and horse. Oh, if only I was taught that in school; how much angst I may have avoided!

Our minds are wild creatures. Without some way of reining it in, we are in real trouble!

An excellent integration of important strands of thought, so to speak, on the mind. Might it be entitled, "Mind Over Marshmallow"? [insert smiley face] Well done!
