For those of you who pay attention to this blog (and if you know what is good for you, you do), you understand that I don't usually post here except on Tuesdays and Fridays when I have new material (and time!) to post. So you know that there is something important when I am presenting [...]
Christmas is truly one of my favorite times of the year. I don't just say that because I'm hopped up on egg nog. I love the lights, the Christmas trees, giving gifts to people I love and who love me back, and I love having a white Christmas with snow on the ground. [Image [...]
We have been a mobile society for hundreds if not thousands of years. Ever since the invention of the wheel and the discovery of many uses of animals for transport, we have been nomadic; we rarely stay in one place very long. And even in business, we have a want and a need to be [...]
