On Turning 50

Today is my 50th birthday!

I tell my wife that, mentally I still feel I’m about 28, and physically, about 35.

I have done a lot in my lifetime so far, but the really cool thing is the feeling I have that I can accomplish so much more in the next decade of my life than I [...]

Quicksand…

As I am typing this, I am watching “The Replacements” on TNT. One of my favorite scenes of the movie deals with Fear, and it is something that can stop entrepreneurs dead in their tracks.
Here is the scene, it starts out funny, but gets very deep (it ends at 5:40; you can continue watching [...]

Four Important Lessons…

Something happened yesterday that illustrates four important lessons that I have learned and lived by for a good portion of my life, and I wanted to write about it.

Pride and Joy

Please forgive the detour I took on my blog with this post.
Those of you who follow me regularly on Twitter may have noticed my absence for the last few days. The picture above explains it quite nicely (Not a great one of me, but the wife and kids look fantastic).

Something happened to me recently that caused me [...]

You, the expert!

This got me thinking, are there other sites or services out there that expedite the [...]

No Pain, No Gain…

On April 7 of this year, I stepped on the scale and my heart sunk; I was 236 lbs. Factoring in my height, if you calculated my BMI, I was 1/100 point off of the start of obesity. I was the stereotypical couch potato geek, who’s only form of exercise was typing.
Why, you may ask, [...]

On risk, and the fear thereof….

I am going to address something I read in an online forum this morning. It was written by someone who read through my blog and posted a comment on it. I write this not as a slam on him/her, but because until quite recently, I thought the same thing.
The comment that the poster made (in [...]
