The other night I had to take a long drive. It SHOULD have been about 90 minutes. Instead, it was nearly double that. Why?
Because the four lane highway merged down to ONE LANE. For about FIFTEEN MILES. And you know what was happening in the area they had blocked off?
Nothing!
No construction, no people, no vehicles, [...]

A Hate-Filled, Profanity-Laden, Non-Business Rant
A Personal Touch from an Unlikely Source
I recently got a new desktop PC. With it, I got Windows 7.
Now for me, this was a big leap. Up until now, all of my machines had been running on XP. I have always been several years behind the technology curve. In fact, I just recently got my first smart phone. (Which happens to [...]
Attitude is Everything
I know this is a business blog, but some time ago I said I would be blogging about whatever I chose. Plus, this is indirectly related to business success.
Warning: This is the rant.
I am getting so sick of people whining and complaining about their jobs, about the economy, about their in-laws, about the government, etc. [...]
Devil On My Shoulder
You may have noticed I haven’t posted in awhile. My schedule has been insanely busy, and I have been doing a lot of traveling. Deal with it.
The other day, I had an interesting experience. When you read it, you may think it is trivial. But for me, it was profound. It almost felt like one [...]
A Mildly Amusing Occurence
This started as a post about something else, but kind of went its own way. Blogs do that sometimes. I will post again about what I had planned to write about later.
Do you know what the difference is between a dwarf and a midget? No, this isn’t a joke, there is an actual difference.
A midget [...]
The Lack of Influence of Naked People
“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.”
- Mark Twain
Recently, I was having a discussion with a business associate of mine. She had recently gone on a business trip, and when she got back, she promptly went out and bought some new clothing.
Seems like an odd chain of events, right?
No, [...]
The One Where My Brain Throws Up All Over the Blog
. . . and I say the words “Screw That” quite a bit.
Things are becoming much more clear for me. I know I wanted things to be different in 2010. But I didn’t realize how different.
I have been writing this blog for just over a year and a half now. And before that, I had [...]
Tis the Season to . . ummmm . . .
Well, it is that time of year again, and I sit here and reflect on this, the eve of the holiday season. I am referring, of course, to the season of Christhanksoween.
This is the wonderful season where children have a perpetual sugar buzz from trick or treat candy, pumpkin pie, and cookies, all the while [...]
Remember Me?
So, it has been about 2 weeks since I last posted. Those 2 weeks have been spent almost exclusively on travel. When I got home, I had to catch up on some work, and re-introduce myself to my family.
Now, unlike the super huge blogs, I don’t have people lining up to guest post. So, if [...]
Subscriber Sweepstakes - New Winner
It’s that time of month again, when I give away free swag to people who have subscribed to my newsletter.
If you haven’t subscribed yet, what are you waiting for? The newsletter comes once a month, is full of cool stuff, and I do not e-mail my list every other day with some affiliate link like [...]
