Great agents are able to show empathy and compassion without letting their emotions get out of control…but, there is a very thin line between those attributes. This morning I read a post by Barbara Todaro that had a lively conversation thread going on. Today she is my muse. The title was Emotio

You know, I don't usually know how the heck I end up on some of the stuff I do with YouTube. I started out listening to Floyd Cramer's "On the Rebound", which was pretty cool and navigated my way over to Lin Yu Chun singing "I Will Always Love You" on a China's Got Talent show. I'd never even h

It wasn't that long ago that I thought squirrels were cute. I'm hoping that I'll get over this newly developed hostility towards the little rat bast-rds and again learn to live in harmony with them. Maybe I will, once I've recovered from this natural disaster they've wrought. We have a littl
