Back in February, I wrote here about receiving my first ever bit of “schwag“, though I’d also seen it spelled as “swag”; no matter. Anyway, it was a free book and a free flying pig in a box, which was appropriate to the title, Wisdom Of The Flying Pig, by Jack Hayhow. I said I’d [...]
Today is the day the United States celebrates Memorial Day. Memorial Day is when we give tribute to all those who have given their lives in the service of protecting the United States in some military fashion. There are memorials everywhere today, at almost every graveyard in the country. Those running the facilities will often [...]
On Twitter earlier today, someone inadvertently brought to my attention an article called Making The Most Of Your Emergency Room Visit. I thought, for part of it anyway, that the premise of the story was incomplete. In essence, the article gives the hospital ER’s perspective of what their perfect patient would be that’s coming to [...]

Enjoy Two Wolves. One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. [...]
Last week Oprah took heat for two things that, personally, I didn’t think were her fault. However, the occurrence shows us a few things that we all need to learn, especially in our customer service efforts. On her show two weeks ago, Oprah mentioned something about the new KFC grilled chicken, and was offering free [...]
A few days ago, there was a news story stating that the United Kingdom had decided to list 26 people as undesirables and thus wouldn’t allow them into the country. It’s an interesting list, because not only are there terrorists on the list, which one could easily understand, but one of them is an American [...]
As we move into January, we all know by now just how bad the economy is nationwide. People are scared, and with good reason. Jobs are scarce, companies continue laying off more and more people, credit card companies are taking advantage of us, people are losing their homes,… on and on and on. Sometimes, when [...]
