After my epic Corvette artwork MOMENTUM‘s extended stay at the prestigious National Corvette Museum, where it captivated audiences and enthusiasts alike, and after a brief intermission that allowed for reflection and preparation, the paintings have now made their journey to their latest impressive display destination, the SILO Auto Club and Conservancy located in the vibrant city of Indianapolis.
It’s been a while since I attended an evening car show. This show started at 7 PM, so I wanted to get there early to snap some great pics before the sun drifted into the night sky. I had been looking forward to this show for a while for various reasons.
What a beach song reveals when you finally hear it. I believe that songs are really stories about someone’s life set to music.
And if you listen closely enough, perhaps they can start telling you something about yours. Today I am writing about a song that is one of my all-time favorites: Margaritaville.

2026 Best of Arizona Cars & Coffee proudly hosted HopeKids, supporting children with life-threatening medical conditions and their families. This was my first visit to FOUNTAIN HILLS, Arizona, and it made a huge impression! The community is stunning, and complemented by an impressive collection of eclectic cars, trucks, and custom builds, which sweetens the day even more.
What I Finally Realized in the Middle of a Coaching Session — I was in the middle of a coaching session a short while ago when the topic of leadership training came up. As we talked, something clicked. What we were really discussing wasn’t leadership training at all, it was human behavior.
April 13, 2026 — I was excited to join the Creative Coalition on Artificial Intelligence for their first General Assembly (via Zoom), hosted by CCAI co-founder Daniel Kwan and CCAI interim Executive Director Ted Tremper, and project managers Orit Michiel and Jim Geduldick (along with special guests).
The word was out, calling all hot rod owners and car enthusiasts… “Bring your car, bring your friends, bring your family!” The people responded by bringing their beautiful cars, families, and dogs.
It could not be a more perfect day for the 8th Annual Las Sendas Fenders & Vendors Car Show at Mesa’s Boulder Mountain Park with an abundance of amazing cars, music, a 50/50 raffle benefiting the local PTO, face painters, cockpit tours of a Huey UH-1B helicopter, shopping from local businesses and restaurants, and more!

National Beer Day is celebrated annually in the United States on April 7 to commemorate the significant 1933 passage of the Cullen-Harrison Act, which legalized the sale of 3.2% beer and wine, ultimately marking the beginning of the end of the long-standing Prohibition era. This day is not only a celebration of the newly legalized beverages but also a tribute to the rich history of brewing in America.
Arizona is Corvette Country. I don’t say that lightly, especially today, following my earlier post about the Highline Autos Cars & Coffee at High Street, which featured countless stunning examples of America’s Sports Car, poised alongside dozens of supercars and exotics. After heading back to the east side of the valley, I made my way to my favorite dining venue in Apache Junction, The Handlbar Pub & Grill, where I heard the evening before that there would be a gathering of local Corvette owners displaying their cars.
It’s been a while since I visited the Highline Autos Cars & Coffee car show at High Street in Phoenix (too long, actually). It was January of 2025 when I first discovered this epic gathering of rolling American and imported exotic supercars, boasting miles of horsepower and torque, their thunderous exhausts screaming to be let loose. Anyone who says this show is amazing is making a colossal understatement. The Highline car show is a remarkable gathering of stunning vehicles, passionate enthusiasts, and an overall atmosphere of camaraderie.
