“Always something there to remind me…”

Well, it turns out that I can’t post photos on this blog directly.  So I’ve posted my pics on dotphoto.com.  Hopefully, one of these links will enable you to see them:

Before I sign off, a big congrats and thank-you to Mark LeBlanc, Stacy Tetschner, Eric Chester and the entire Convention team for doing such a fantastic [...]

“It’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away…”

Ya know, these titles would be a lot cooler if they had musical accompaniment.  Oh, well.

Morning keynoter Marshall Goldsmith demonstrated to us that it’s possible to get an audience to give you money just by telling them to.  Who knew?  I [...]
