Status Quo
Complacency is one danger of our current stay at home orders. It is never all right to believe that “as is” is good enough. It is a mistake to think we can just ride things out. Connect with others and maintain relationships. Share ideas and insights regarding innovative thinking in preparation for personal and professional…
Read MoreRegarding Change
It is often said that people don’t like change. It isn’t so much the change they don’t like it is the transition that is troubling.

It’s often said that Darwin’s Theory stated that only the fittest survive, however, I believe that what was actually meant was that the most adaptable survive.

Those of you, who know me personally, may be aware of my life-long addiction to playing acoustic guitar. I love composing my own music, performing occasionally, and recording when I have the time. (Some of you may have one or two of my CD’s.) Michael Hedges was my all-time guitar idol. Michael was such an…
Read MoreThe times they are a changing
Television news is providing a constant report and analysis of what’s happening in Egypt and other places where protests and demonstrations are taking place.
