Safety’s Just Danger, Out of Place – Tornado Version

May 3, 2011

A week after I wrote the original post, I lived it.  As I said near the end, “Count on change.” The press has been covering the Tuscaloosa tornado heavily (from what I hear from others outside of the area) and for good reason – it was huge.  The smaller ones aren’t getting much press.  There [...]

Safety’s Just Danger, Out of Place

April 20, 2011

I don’t know about you, but when I get comfy, something is wrong.  Are there exceptions to this?  Although I have thought about it, I haven’t found one. If I get too comfortable in my marriage, I need to reevaluate.  Am I taking her for granted? Not appreciating her enough? If I get too comfy [...]

No, really, I need your thoughts on this one.  This is a personal matter.  Today I strongly dislike the health care industry.  Here is the story. I was very un-Boy Scout like and sliced my finger open.  We went to the Urgent Care.  I called ahead to confirm they were an Urgent Care and would [...]

MacroWikinomics: A Book I Had To Put Down

February 7, 2011

There are bad books, good books and great books.  Bad books I don’t want to finish.  Good books I read right through and finish.  Great books I never finish or it takes a long time to do so.  Why?  Because I become inspired by an idea I must put the book down and go off [...]

When I Grow Up (Video) – We Never Intended to Work This Way

January 11, 2011

When we were young, the stars weren’t even the limit.  We had our goals high and proudly told others what we were going to be when we grew up.  As we grew up, plans naturally changed, and we adapted.  But who would have thought we would have spent a lot of time on activities that [...]

January 6, 2011

Everyone has at least one if not a few.  Yes, you do to. I’m talking about a superhero work trait.  You may think, “No, not me.  I just work.”  Good try.  I know many people who feel they are just workers.  In fact, one friend with whom I work has said, “I am just a [...]
