Las Vegas? You betcha. If you look closely in the featured image, you’ll see the strip in the background. Right now though, we need to make due with a little more Skype, and a lot less handshakes for the time being. Lots of hand washing, and even more hand sanitizer. But when we’re past this…

Endurance
With such little time spent talking about actual issues during this presidential race, it’s almost certain that neither of the candidates could possibly claim a mandate victory. I’m fine with that. While I’m less than impressed with both candidates, I remain impressed with the resiliency Americans have shown over time. Let’s face it, we’ve had…
Be Part of the Statistic!
When I served as Vice President of Marketing, at a previous company, I made it a point to travel with our territory managers at least one day each week. As economic conditions worsened and morale decreased, I would always make it a point to say to our customers, “While I am not sure when the…
Remembering the Price of Freedom

My First Day
As each year passes, the various “firsts” in my life have more meaning. I remember my first day of riding a school bus to Kindergarten – the beginning of a learning journey that continues to this day. The first date I had with my wife definitely changed my life for the better. While my wife…
Honoring Those Who Served
This morning in Atlanta has started out cold and drizzly. A definite improvement however, from the weather we experienced yesterday. As I drove to the office this morning, I was reminded that the veterans who have served our country over the many years have fought in this weather and in much worse. They have experienced…
Important Lessons Found in Ordinary Places
We were at the mall last weekend, looking for that “must have” pair of shoes that my daughter needed in order to begin a successful school year. It was the second mall we ventured to that day. An associate at the first shoe store we visited was kind enough to call ahead to another store…
