Random Acts of Intelligence

April 27, 2009

I got an email yesterday with 100 of the funniest quips my friend had received over the years in his email joke box.  “Practice Random Acts of Intelligence and Senseless Acts of Self-Control” resonated with me when I thought about my clients and why they remain to be successful in this economy.
For those of us [...]

The Defining Music of the Decade?

April 24, 2009

Channel surfing in the middle of the night due to a bit of insomnia, I happened upon an infomercial for “The Midnight Special”.  Music that defined a decade, early 70’s to early 80’s.  Much in the same way that “Hullabaloo” and “American Bandstand” helped to define the music for the 60″s, “The Midnight Special” chronicled [...]
