Syracuse Wins?!?!?

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

The Syracuse University football team did something they hadn’t done in over a year, and in over two years. First, they won their first game after 11 straight losses (yeah, we’re not proud enough to give back the win against the Division II team) over Illinois today 31-21. In the process, they won [...]

My Take On Katrina

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

(originally published September 5th, 2005)
I guess it’s my turn to talk a little bit about the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Over the past week there’s been lots of talk about the destruction of this thing, and the devastation it’s left. There’s been talk about the slow response from the federal government, the looting, the possible [...]

Connie and Day

I went to a healthcare finance seminar in Rochester yesterday, and got to see two wonderful presenters that I want to mention.
The first speaker does more than just healthcare presentations. Her name is Connie Podesta, and you want to talk about a combination of skills? She’s a clinical psychologist (her words; [...]

History can be a funny thing. The most recent history usually takes precedent in the minds of most people because they can put their finger on it more readily. Because of this, there are people who think the proliferation of personal computers is a bigger scientific achievement than man landing on [...]

(originally published April 6th, 2005)
I’m always trying to learn better ways of marketing myself, so tonight is a deviation from my normal themes. I participated in an online seminar tonight, taught by a friend of mine from Los Angeles named Don Price. The title of the seminar was The Power of Staying in Touch - [...]

To Johnnie Cochran; Props!

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

(originally published March 30th, 2005)
I’ll admit that I’ve always been a Johnnie Cochran fan. Most people only know about the man who defended O. J. Simpson successfully, with his now famous “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.” But Johnnie Cochran was so much more, and for such a long time.
I thought about writing some [...]

Clyde; A Brief Word

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

(originally posted March 5th, 2005)
My wife’s father passed away today; his name was Clyde. Because of her family dynamics, I can’t say that I knew Clyde all that well. Matter of fact, in 10 years I never addressed him by name in any way; I wasn’t sure what to call him, so we just talked. [...]

Goodbye To the Seniors

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

(originally posted February 26th, 2005)
It’s always a bit more special when it’s Senior Day in college basketball, which means it’s the last home game of the season, and usually the last game, played on your home court. It was special once again today at the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team celebrated with its senior class, [...]
