[November 20, 2025] Yesterday was the viewing, and today is the funeral of another good friend of mine. I’m blessed to know many good people—those very same folks who would drop everything and help me if I truly needed assistance. Those are the kinds of people anyone would want to be around. The young man was 36 years… Read More »
[November 19, 2025] David and I were 16 when he decided to hop onto a train and head out West; to ride the rails. We had been infected by the cowboy spirit, “Head West, young man, head West.” Just before our junior year in high school, we were exploring the abandoned towns that lay far out into the… Read More »
[November 17, 2025] Today, we have a wobbly weirdo who gets tased, maced, and arrested, all in just a few minutes. I consider this post to be pure entertainment, with minimal value for those looking for leadership ideas. However, there might just be some professional development in what not to do if the police stop your car. From… Read More »
[November 14, 2025] Occasionally someone comes along at the highest political level that knows what he’s doing and uses those accumulated skills quite effectively. Scott Bessent is the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and probably one of the smartest economic advisors to a U.S. President that America has ever had. For that reason alone, I see him as… Read More »
[November 13, 2025] Occasionally it’s good to take a break from the challenge of the study of leadership. Today I’m providing my personal list of favorite war movies … those that made an impression on me when I saw them.

[November 6, 2025] Like many boys my age, I wanted to run and hide from the certain butt-whooping I was going to get. I broke a window in my neighbor’s house while throwing a baseball to my good friend Wilson. It was an innocent throw, sailing over Wilson’s head and into the living room window, shattering it. I… Read More »
[November 5, 2025] I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was headed to the local grocery store after finding a good parking spot. And it was cloudy with a mild Winter breeze. My daughter was with me, looking forward to getting a peach cobbler pie and vanilla ice cream for our dinner. A middle-aged woman asked… Read More »
[October 31, 2025] On this Halloween Day (or night), I thought it most appropriate to bring up Dr. Jordan Peterson’s advice on how to live a life that goes well. He says that to increase the “probability that things will unfold for you properly, is to not lie.” Yes! Just stop lying. Halloween is about showing an outer… Read More »
[October 23, 2025] Japan has elected a new leader following the failed policies and corruption of its previous Prime Minister. All news outlets reporting on Japan’s election have noted that Sanae Takaichi has adopted much of the conservative philosophy of U.S. President Donald Trump. And in that, they are correct. Additionally, she is being called “Japan’s Iron Lady,”… Read More »
