“Always be on the lookout for opportunities” We have all heard some version of that more than the name Michael Jackson since June 25th, 2009. Yeah we get it.

“QUIET PLEASE” When Tiger’s on the tee box, why do the fans have to be quiet as a church mouse? The ball’s just sitting there. It’s not rolling, flying, spinning, or dribbling. Why do we have to be so quiet? Who came up with this crazy rule? One peep outta yah, and your 86’d for [...]

My colleagues have been after me to read Blue Ocean Strategy for some time now. Yesterday was the 14th day in a row of steady rain, so I spent the day getting to know this International Bestseller. It is a good book, but it would have been just as good as a pamphlet. I think you can [...]
