Don’t forget Swayze
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009I’m reminded by my earlier post on Randy Pausch that Patrick Swayze is probably headed for the same demise. It’s really too bad. “Point Break” is a top 15 favorite of mine and of course you never back baby in the corner do you? Here’s to his family and hope it all works out.
In defense of California
Monday, January 12th, 2009There was an interesting headline on yahoo today. This makes all my friends in other states chuckle I’m sure. California is still the promised land. It’s a matter of knowing how to handle yourself through thick and thin. All things being equal, (50 states that ALL go through tough times) I’d rather be in this [...]
Take a breath and stand your ground
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008This holiday season offers great opportunity to reassess your gift-giving goals. I am giving a book that I love to those I love. That’s it. No wine. No gift cards. Just a good book. If we all just step back and reduce our outlay and not utilize the full potential of our already reduced credit [...]

Rest in peace Randy Pausch
Monday, August 4th, 2008RIP Randy… One of your basic tenets was “stick to the fundamentals”. I agree. Thanks for the great book, buddy. Something many of us forget. Sometimes we think our jobs and the projects we manage are oh so more important if we make it more complicated. Take off the layers and you’ll see how it [...]

This economy gives us reasons to act and be better souls
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008One thing I’ve been thinking about lately – When things are getting rougher for all of us, I tend to max out the “pay it forward” part of my universe. I just sold a large deal in my day-job and it’s imperative for me to pay it forward. When I get voracious on a concept, [...]
Look to the trees
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008When you think something bad or awful that happens to you won’t pass, look to the trees. A great big oak is representative of thousands of maladies and bad times as well as all the good ones. While modern times require us think that everything has to be done right now, big trees remind us that the slow [...]
