  • Chula Vista Park View Little League

    I love how a big town like San Diego can still have that small town feel – well, at least San Diego is trying to keep that small town feel going.  The latest thing that has brought this town together is the recent win of a little league team from…

  • Strategy

    There are many things that I am strategic about.  There are a few things that I’ve been reading about being strategic about – having a coping strategy; having an identity strategy.  It is a proactive pursuit of everyday normal things.  Those are the 2 that pop into my head, but…

  • Brett Favre as a Viking

    I lived in Minnesota for 3 years.  I am in no way a Minnesotan, but Favre as a Viking.  I just can’t see it and I’m asking all of my Minnesotan friends what they think about it.  They do need quarterback and Favre got out of Training Camp.  Actually, I…

  • Success

    I watched a video this morning from TED.com on Richard St. John giving a 4 minute talk on Success.  It’s such a great reminder that it takes work to be successful and that it is easy to fall from success if you have the wrong perspective on it. Watch it.…

  • LL6: Command and Control

    I am reading Malcolm Gladwell’s book Blink. You can read what Malcolm says on his website about the book and for more information click here. It’s a book about snap judgments, rapid cognition, and thin-slicing. Read it. It’s pretty good. I write all of that to say that it’s not…
