Dying Wishes
There are some things in life that just don’t seem fair. This story I stumbled upon gives reflection to a new definition. Perhaps it’s especially difficult as a dad of two little girls, who talk and think of nothing more than getting married when they grow up. One day I found her sitting with a look [...]

Today at the gym I was on the elliptical machine and there was an older woman in front of me who had really short hair. I wouldn’t have noticed, apart from the large tattoo on her neck of a pink “Care Bears” fully exposed given the short hair. If she doesn’t already, my guess is she [...]

It’s rare that I start blogging without a specific purpose or subject, but today’s entry is starting just with that. As my fingers pound the keyboard (quite loudly; I’m among the loudest typists in the world–if “Surf Lifesaving” made it as an Olympic event one year during the last hundred years, why not “loud typing”? ) [...]

This is a posting I started weeks back when this was hot in the news; yet, the Thain story continues with his lavish personal indulgences disclosed amidst the categorically related uproar over grossly lavish Executive pay–and more than this, INTENTIONALLY irresponsible financial decision making while stakeholders sweat the consequences.

Given the nature of the day, I thought I’d write a quick diddy about love. Now, generally speaking, worldly love is pretty conditional. This is especially true with business love. In fact, it’s usually business lust (love). Business lust is the kind best expressed by the expression we all know: “What have you done for me lately?” There’s [...]

This graph hits hard visually. Very hard. It’s a sobering reminder of the mess we’re in, and what won’t leave us soon. It’s not hopeless, at all, but it’s a reality of the challenges we’re facing in the United States, in Canada, and ultimately the effect being felt around the world. And next door. Today I [...]

So there’s a lot less buying going around these day, we all know that. But did you know what people are still buying? Their health and appearance. Among a few other things. At least, those are a few things I read out of this recent article from Forbes–that lists the ten things we’re still buying. People still want [...]
