Am I speaking or yelling, how do you tell the difference?

June 21, 2016

Speaking or yelling, how do you tell the difference? Public speaking is one of the things I dream about. It’s an art, and most certainly an acquired skill. You know it when you hear a great talk. And most of the time, we don’t hear it or see it. Why is that? Power Point slides. […]

Mobile communications: I decided to learn about this technology

As I become more dependent on mobile technology devices I’ve gotten interested in the future of mobile communications technologies. More of us […]

The Gambler

June 1, 2016

The Gamblers Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Got it! Yet, we live in one town, one house, and are supposed to keep faith with one spouse. I have two bird nests at my house. One belongs to a pair of sparrows. They built their outpost on top of one of my back […]

A closed mind is a narrow road

In my first business class the professor said we would be learning about companies like General Motors, Boeing, Xerox and other large corporations than made up the U.S. industrial base.

Start writing. Find your voice.

March 22, 2016

Over the past few weeks we have learned of the resignation of some of the local contributing columnists. Like you, I read their columns. Over time, each columnist finds their voice and their audience. As I now return from vacation time with family, I reflected on how the family of columnists operated in a loose […]

Vision without Execution is Hallucination

February 9, 2016

Vision without execution is hallucination. I am a worker bee. That’s my deal, I like to work. When I describe what I do I say I work in the space industry and point up- that space. If I said I was a dog walker, or a home builder or even an eye surgeon, we’d have […]

We can get there from here

January 29, 2016
