I heard the song “Teach Your Children” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young yesterday and it struck me that we need to be telling our children about our past, and especially today about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights movement. Baby Boomers were active participants in this time; you may have participated in […]
Today the New York Giants will play the Green Bay Packers in American style football in below zero, Celsius, weather. That event pretty much dominated business and social interaction her in Wisconsin, USA this week. There are some business lessons to be taken away from this experience.

The last few days I have been having Internet problems - s…l…o…w… to the extreme - losing packets, timing out. Pure frustration.
It made me think about Jim’s post about retirement and loneliness. We depend on the Internet so much for our connections to the world around us, that when it is slowed or […]
I’m fed up with the PC; well, not the generic PC, but just the one that Microsoft has crammed down our throats. I need a new laptop but I refuse to buy a PC because I refuse to be forced to have Vista on it. I understand that I would not even have […]

As we get older depression is a major problem. It can be an individual problem or a problem because a spouse suffers from it. In this case, it’s my mother-in-law. She is in her mid-80’s and recently broke her ankle. That in itself is difficult at that age, but it cascades into a host of […]
Although I don’t usually comment on politics in this blog, I’m always interested in what’s going on in the political world. Chris Erb (from Doing Biz Abroad) and I have been asked to comment on the most influential politician in the world today. The person we thought was most interesting is certainly […]
You have probably heard that analog TV will be “whited out” (so to speak) in February 2009. On February 17, if you haven’t switched to digital, all you will see is static. Although that might be preferable to some of the stuff on TV today. If you are not ready (or you don’t […]
