The issue of enlightenment is less the question of how am I to be enlightened than it is the question of what happens when I am enlightened? How do I live in this world? How do I operate? How do I behave? Original writing date: June 16, 2008

A friend of mine sent this article along which she recently used to engage a leadership team on end of fiscal year financial performance. The thoughts are evergreen and are well worth a reminder to all of us involved in building and maintaining our enterprises. Enjoy the article. Original writing date: June 11, 2008 Article [...]

Everything around us has emerged from a few simple principles and a handful of elementary particles. Now we have an increasingly and gradually growing attribute—a Godlike capacity—called consciousness. And that cosmic complexity allows us to know more than ever before what we’re doing, appreciate everything around us, and choose each of our actions. Original writing [...]

I read this special to the Orlando Sentinel written by Elliot S. Berke back in March of this year. I thought it was worth keeping and thinking about. As the debate has now been engaged between Senator John McCain and Senator Barrack Obama and, certainly as to international policy between the two political positions, I [...]

So, I’m thinking, as I check out this place which is a single’s haven, that there’s probably no temporal limit to the opportunities offered by places like this.

I’m attaching a copy of Joe Morgenstern’s review of Speed Racer. As I watched the previews of this movie, I felt, intuitively, the very same sentiment Joe expressed in his review. When Jordan, Jared and I had a chance to watch it, the response was even worse. At 13 and 9, they felt the movie [...]

It’s my observation that when bands break up, the individuals are rarely, alone, able to recreate the magic or synergy they created when they produced original music as the band itself. Whether it’s the Beatles, which spawned four individual careers, or Simon and Garfunkel, which spawned two individual careers, or any number of others, the [...]

Dean Cage, 41 years old and serving 14 years in prison for the sexual assault of a 15-year old, was the 217th person to be exonerated in the nation based on subsequent DNA testing, according to the Innocence Project. Of course, that number pales in comparison to the amount of convictions which occur each and [...]
