As we sit in our air conditioned offices trying to make a living, there are some things to be aware of. As we take endless calls and leave for home with a phone receiver permanently imbedding onto the side of our head, as we read so many e-mails that our eyes are now bloodshot and resemble someth...

So I was minding my own business at work one evening when I felt my head to go numb. It took a few minutes to completely numb up and by the time I got a little afraid of the situation I couldn't talk. No joke!! This silly man who likes to make people laugh couldn't move his lips and tongue in any...

In today's' society where information is at our fingertips, in our cars and in our face every waking second of the day, it's imperative to decide who and where we will get the information that is correct, truthful and means something to us?

It does appea...

I'm sittin her in my office trying to think of something clever to send to you today and can only come up with stupid songs I learned on the playground in grade school. I still find them amusing after all of these months. Such as: "There's a Soldier in the grass with an arrow up his..." Okay that...

If you read my last blog you know that I talked about coming to the end of the year and the decade. But there is so much to look back on as we come to this end of a year and decade, yet so much to look forward to as well.  As my colleague and I were just talking about before I turned my chair aro...

This is the time of year when we all become a bit nostalgic and look back on the year that will soon be gone. I know as the ears have passed by, the calendar seems to have sped up without permission. My grandfather passed away at 94 years old and told me, when I was in my twenties, that the years...

With all of the new regulations and disclosures it seems this industry is getting more restrictive instead of less restrictive. When the industry began to turn down in September of 2005 I told me colleagues that my biggest fear was that the government would try to help out with the free market. I...
