131. Revolution: It's Hammer Time, Baby!
April 29, 2012
Abraham Maslow once said that when one becomes proficient with a hammer everything begins to look like a nail—or words to that effect. I recently wrote about a startling and irrepressible revolution that affects us socially, commercially, and culturally. To summarize, most changes during my...

132. It's a Freaking Revolution!
April 25, 2012
Fifteen years ago I flew across the country on business several times a month. Headquarters was in Southern California, and I was responsible for building a factory in central Indiana. When compelled to wait at connecting airports, usually in an airline club, there were two things that made me uniqu...

133. Mirror, Mirror!
April 15, 2012
Have you really—I mean really—ever experienced trauma? I’m not talking about the serious injury kind or trauma including any kind of injury. I’m referring to a potential life-changing moment based on an instant observation when that observation completely turned your world upside down; and not in a ...

134. Cartoon Characters: Kickin' it Old-School
April 07, 2012
When I was a kid, a typical Saturday afternoon was spent at the Strand Theater with several hundred more of my ilk. For the price of admission, 12-cents, I was treated to five cartoons, a news reel, a cliff hanger serial (Rocketman, etc.), and a double feature, usually westerns. I grew up with the D...

135. When a House Is Not a Home
March 29, 2012
Sometimes while driving through the Midwestern countryside one or another of many old, abandoned houses takes my glance. Most are characterized by faded paint, broken windows, and a partially collapsed roof. What’s left of a tricycle rusts among the ragged, unruly vegetation in what was once a front...

136. The Bounty System in Sports
March 23, 2012
The NFL commissioner recently came down hard on the New Orleans Saints for a system of bounties placed on opposing players. That is, if a valuable opponent could be knocked from the game cash rewards were distributed. Head coach, Sean Payton, was suspended for a year, the Saints fined, and former de...

137. Shariah Law for the USA?
March 15, 2012
Let’s get this out of the way: I am no expert with respect to Abraham’s three great religions or any other faith for that matter. How-some-ever, I am a curious observer (to the point of being nosy), and I am a thinker. That is, I often sit in the dark and ponder. Unfortunately, most of the things I ...

To bring you up-to-date… On Wednesday, Tim, Randy, and I flew from Houston to New Orleans to give a Thursday seminar for Louisiana field personnel.

140. Now & Then
February 18, 2012
You know, every once in a while I zone-out and review my life, mainly to count blessings, which have been numerous. So far it’s been a good ride with (I hope) more to come. I do not dwell in the past, but I do permit myself a review looking for “lessons learned” in order to improve the future. In ot...
