No one can say I don’t support my friends. Check out the information on a seminar being presented locally on May 5th by my friend Marc Tarbay: No, it’s not my industry, but this is what friendship is all about, helping to promote where I can.
Early this morning I was informed that my uncle, Morris Mitchell, had passed away at the age of 77. As you can tell from the picture, this was my dad’s identical twin brother, though, from the age of 7, I could always tell them apart. It’s funny how these things go. Though they were twins, [...]
Every once in awhile, we all need a boost to get ourselves back into the proper, peaceful place. Today, my wife and I were having a conversation about how, well, “blah” we’ve been feeling lately. So she came up with the idea of each of us creating a Gratitude List. The basic premise is that [...]
Last night I went to a presentation at the Syracuse Technology Garden for the Talking Business series, courtesy of the eNitiative project. The speaker for the event was Leslie Rose MacDonald, president of Pathfinders CTS, Inc, and a friend of mine.

In this case, I got an interesting leadership lesson, or story, from a two part story on the Dr. Phil Show. And I didn’t get it from Dr. Phil. This particular story involved a large family [...]
Last night I read a post on a blog that’s dedicated to health care that angered me for more than one reason. It was so seemingly vitriolic that someone who commented before me asked if the post was an April Fool’s joke; the guy responded it wasn’t. The first part concerned nurses, and his opinion [...]
This is the enduring image from this date, April 4, 1968, the last day alive for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. To many people today, this picture looks staged, but it’s the real deal. Dr. King was assassinated at 6:01PM at a hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, there supporting garbage workers on strike, and his killing [...]
There have been a couple of grand openings this week that I’ve gone to, and how each company presented itself will prove, in the long run, just how successful each one of these companies might be. It also offers an interesting contrast because one company is local and small, whereas the other one is international [...]
