How to “Be your own brand” for real
I've heard it before, from the self-help self-promotion set, who say, you are your own brand. Treat yourself as the CEO. Have a Board of Directors.

A couple of stories about phones
One: In early March of this year I picked up the phone to call a friend and wish him a happy birthday. I could have texted his cell but I like calling better when I have the opportunity, so off I went and dialed his home phone. Little did I know that my friend … Continue reading A couple of stories about phones
Anyone else suffering Spring Overreach Syndrome?

For now, we’ll have to make do with the planting of the seed. The season has started with a bang. The mixed vegetable … Continue reading Anyone else suffering Spring Overreach Syndrome?
