I don't own an ugly holiday sweater, but I am featured in BuzzFeed's 2011 holiday photos that will give you holiday cheer. (See photo 20. Don't laugh.) However, if you do own an ugly top, today you can get media coverage. I always think of that scene in "Bridget Jones' Diary" where her future boyfriend [...]
My new FitBit Charge works a bit and doesn't work a bit. Corporate survival of the fittest games can make for big headlines, like this article in the Wall Street Journal.

My mother is visiting me and said this morning, "I'm washing my hands because I just touched the dirty laundry in the hamper and I don't know where you've been." At the same time, the news was on in the background reporting Charlie Sheen's ex-fiancée lawsuit because essentially she didn't know where he had been either. (I [...]
November 20th, 2015 is Universal Children's Day. So, today I'm choosing to speak about children and my commitments to provide environments that support the full potential growth for them.

In fact, holidays are a great news hook. Whether it's Veterans Day, Black Friday or Singles Day, the media covers holidays and more. I represent [...]
My mother's visiting me and my Siberian husky licks her chops every time my mom walks by her. My mom noticed this lately and I said, "Could it be you give her a treat every time you look at her?" My mom laughs. We're all this way, though. When we get conditioned to 'lick our [...]
{{Singing to the tune of Carly Simon's, "You're So Vain." I recommend listening to this song while you read this blog entry today.}}"You walked into this blog like you were walking into TV. And you probably think this blog is about you, don't you" ... Kansas City Royals? Well, it could be about you, sports [...]
Who is in the driver's seat of your life? Recently I drove my nephew and three of his teenage friends from Louisville, KY to Cincinnati, OH to visit the Halloween-decorated amusement park, Kings Island. My nephew drove my father's old Toyota. It's a stick shift. So, I didn't need an amusement park by the time [...]
Lately, I feel like a flea. No, I don't mean Red Hot Chili Pepper's lead singer, Flea. I mean fleas in a jar who have been trained to only jump as high as the lid will allow. Even their offspring will learn this trained behavior. Last night, I was at my Landmark seminar in Charlotte [...]
