Janet and I were commenting the other day, that as bad as it has been suffering through this particular downturn, probably the most disappointing of all has been what the downturn does to human beings when economics are involved. I think it’s a fair statement to say that everyone is affected. I don’t know one [...]

As I’m thinking about The Last Wave, Peter Weir’s 1976 movie, I see a lawyer is interested not only in the truth behind his client, but the truth behind the truth. Original writing date: June 16, 2009

I experienced an interesting situation today and, to some extent, a sign of the times with respect to layoffs. I had an interaction with a company that had been a very solid company in every respect. On the other hand, it lost 50% of its staff since the time I first began working with it. [...]

You know, as I take these trips and interact with my three Sweetie Pies, I recognize the enormous level of responsibility I have to fashion their lives and their futures. Jordan and Jared watch me like hawks. No matter what I say, at any particular time, they are watching what I do. I give them [...]

We tend to argue in favor of democracy because we know it, as a political order, to probably be the closest we have ever seen to the fundamental tenet of freedom and free choice, an [...]

What an era! I recently came across two articles in The New York Times I thought I’d share in light of the inauguration of our first black president. The first related to Ursula M. Burns who is taking over as CEO of Xerox upon Anne Mulcahy’s retirement. Unique is that this is the first time [...]

It’s finally over. President Obama gave his presentation with the President’s iconic aplomb to the graduating class at the University of Notre Dame this past Sunday. I do have to say, as a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, that I was somewhat surprised at the amount of propaganda I received over the past [...]

Take a look at this article taken from the Orlando Sentinel on President Obama’s Earth Day talk in Newton, Iowa. The venue was once a giant Maytag appliance factory which now houses a wind energy company. It represented, for me, not so much the ecological theme President Obama was touting but the ebb and flow [...]
