Last month, while I was at my wife’s grandparent’s Easter dinner, something crazy happened. We were in the living room, watching my daughter open up her easter presents she got from the Easter bunny (apparently the Easter bunny…and Santa…go to both our house and the grandparents to give her stuff…) [...] Read more »
(un)Natural Flavors in your Beef
I try to eat as natural as possible. In fact, most of the meats I buy are typically of the “organic” variety, partially because I believe that a cow that is pastured and that eats what they are supposed to eat (as in grass) is probably healthier than eating a [...] Read more »

No “solutions”….just an observation. Imagine that you have worked for a publicly traded company, company “a”,for a decade. And in the process, you have built a ton of stock options with the company. Now imagine that the company is facing lean times, as in no profit but no loss for [...] Read more »

How Connected are We?
I was out at a restaurant this past weekend with my wife and daughter and I noticed something that was kind of disturbing. We were surrounded by other tables where the other customer’s faces were buried in their cell phones, ipads and tablets. There was little if any conversation. In [...] Read more »
No Resolutions…Just Thanks to Those Who Help Shape My World…
As the year draws to a close, I have had a bit of time to reflect on this past year and all of those people who have had an influence in my online life. And rather than do a resolution or two, I felt like this was the perfect time [...] Read more »
