This is funny.     It’s always the quiet ones… Check out the whole interview at my YouTube channel.

This will make a LOT more sense after you read Sunday’s Monday’s barn burner post (I’d usually post something this long on Sunday but this Sunday’s Easter; no bad blood), but bear with me. One of the best jobs I’ve ever had was a manager at a Fortune 500 company where I was a branch […]

It’s my daughter’s birthday this week. That means my house will be filled with fifteen or so five- and six-year-olds. Which means fifteen or so parents. Which means we have to clean the house.

Cool thoughts from our friend Rachel.

Here’s some recent Twitter activity. Is that good? Is it not good? (Wednesday sure kicked ass!) I’m pretty happy with it overall, and I didn’t tweet every day or spend a lot of time most days when I did. How’s this picture of my activity compare to yours? Not bragging; just saying: you can see […]
