In Improv you are always right.  However,  I found a way to make this untrue.  I have a problem with making statements because I ask a hell of a lot of questions. Now, I need to un-train myself on asking questions.  Who would have thought that would be such a huge challenge?  I’m beginning to [...]

As I read the story about the senator who refused to vote for the unemployment extension, I had two thoughts:

It is possible to trust someone professionally and not personally?
I’ve connected with a guy who I mixed feelings about.  I like him, but there is something about him I don’t like.  I haven’t figured out what it is.  Anyway, because of his love of business, I know I can trust him professionally.  Due to some [...]

I don’t know.  But I sometimes feel like I listen to and put up with the dumbest crap and really don’t know why.  I don’t know if I’m being tolerant of stupid shit or trying to be patient and accept people for who they are and what they do.

For some reason, though, I don’t think “they” got it. I think I [...]

As we approach Black History Month, I had two thoughts:
1. Should I start a book discussion on Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s Mis-Education of the Negro on of my blogs?

Today, I got the most blessed advice from someone regarding my business.  I am totally excited.
BUT, earlier in the day, I gave a couple resources to someone who is doin’ his thang with photography.  I knew a little bit, so I shared it.
