“This city is going on a diet”. Such were the words of OKC’s mayor a few short years ago, and while I feel like I am in better shape this year than most of those I’ve lived, maybe I need to take his advice. First, some brief history. When it was first concocted, Dr Pepper [...]

You can tell a lot about a hotel by how it is “equipped”. How was my lodging on this trip? Pretty nice, to be honest. The place my colleagues and I stayed was a small Inn located in a quaint Silicon Valley hamlet not far from our “secret” meeting locale. Aside from there being no [...]
Opposable Thumbs?

I was sitting on an airplane with some colleagues earlier today, and I noticed how one of them was using an iDevice to help look up information on another iDevice. One device for each hand; once touch screen for each thumb…. I looked across the aisle at another colleague, and he too was working just [...]
Man cave status?

Someone I am acquainted with was recently seen lip-syncing in a comedic video parity. “1080P; 16×9; I’m rockin’ man cave status with a screen like mine…”. And it got me to thinking…(sorry to spoil the fun)… What defines “the man cave”, exactly? Neanderthals called caves their home. They provided protection from the elements and from [...]
Not getting the whole picture?

It happens all the time, or at least it seems like it. You think you are on top of things; you think you understand the situation around you; you believe you have it under control. Then, it happens: something breaks down, and you begin to learn the full scope of things. Case in point: air [...]
Never hire a dyslexic accountant…

We’ve been buried in a round of financial systems consulting at CampOC this week. In additional to some very useful tools and information for improving what we do and how we do it, the Instructor/consultant has blessed us with some great one liners. “Rule Number One” is reflected in the title. A department is a [...]

I went jogging on the beach this morning. Go ahead: begin humming the tune from “Chariots of Fire” here. I will even insert some bad Irish accent dialogue to go along with it: “whenn A runn, A feell HIS strenth“. And, yes, one man’s slow motion is another man’s full speed. The family was sleeping [...]

Great goal for a lifetime: B-Complex. Not complicated. Not complaining. Not cantankerous. Not critical. Complex. B it. It’s energizing.
Switch!

It’s graduation weekend in Edmond, America, and you know what that means: hitting the reception circuit. So many kids, so many cake/punch/hors doerves opportunities, so little time/so little stomach space. And memories: so many memories. How could they have all grown up so fast? It seems like just yesterday that Baby H graduated; I think [...]
