Mitch's Blog

This is my 600th blog post for this blog, and I feel pretty good about that. Not many people actually reach 600 posts, based on statistics, so I’m in rare air. And yet, as I’ve reached this number, I find myself at an interesting mental crossroads. First, let me give you the only statistic I [...]

Almost to the year of the last one, I’ve made another theme change to this blog. This time around, I’ve decided to make it look a bit more like my business website. The reason for the theme change? Well, to tell you the truth, I loved the look of the other one. It was called [...]

The time and date of the worst tragedy in American history. This was worse than what happened at Pearl Harbor; this was on our own soil. This was in New York City. These weren’t soldiers. These were men and women going about their business, doing their thing. These were visitors on top of the tower, [...]

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 [...]

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.

Yes, the look has changed once more. It seems that the other theme just wouldn’t hold its format, and it finally went bad on me today,even with the update to Firefox 3.

I encountered real poverty head on when my dad went to Vietnam back in 1969. For some reason, when he went overseas we couldn’t live in on base housing; I never learned the reason why. So, last minute we ended up moving to Kansas City, Missouri, to live with my grandmother. When my grandmother had [...]

Tomorrow is Blog Action Day. Its purpose is to highlight the problem and issue of poverty around the world. A Blog Action Day website has been set up to help track everyone who says they’re going to participate in this action. I’ve decided not only to participate, but I’m going to write a different post [...]

Back in April, I wrote something called Mitch’s List, which was my “thank you” list to all the people who had helped me through the past year in achieving my goals, both professionally and personally. Something prompted me to revisit that list today, and I’m really glad I did. Seems that, when I wrote it [...]

Today is Blog Day, but this year I have two blogs with different focuses. So, I’m going to recognize some blogs here that have to do with one type of thing, then some blogs on my other blog that have to do with what I talk about over there. I’m not sure it’s cheating or [...]
