    How long does it take you to get ready?

    Assuming that I am going into the office that day or to a client’s, it takes about 40 minutes, longer if the kids are up and need to be entertained. If I am working at home like I do most of the time, 20 minutes tops. On decompressing at the end of the day, about 20 to 30 minutes if I have...

    Is Knowledge Power?

    I had a grad school professor who used to remind us on a weekly basis of that very statement - knowledge is only potential power - along with the statement that knowledge gives us the direction for action, not the energy or movement. Knowledge only becomes power, and thus valuable, when coupled...

    What Famous Person is the Posterboy/Girl?

    The stylish men My thoughts on the men. Ralph Lauren – Though his clothes look great, he tries way too hard to be something he isn’t and never will be. He isn’t comfortable in his own skin – so I would call him fashionable, but not stylish. George Clooney – A class act…and...

    Always Coca-Cola? Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing!

    Somewhere in the garage... Are two six packs I inherited when my grandparents passed away in the 1980's that they had had for some time. One is a six pack of Coke in the glass bottles that actually lists cocaine on the list of ingredients. The other is a six-pack of glass bottled Pepsi from...

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    Another German here I am 100% German, though if my father read this he would correct me, reminding me that while most of Germany is Frankish I am Bavarian Protestant and there is a difference. He would then point to the family coat of arms and began to once again bore me and trace our lineage...

    Where were you on 9/11/2001?

    9/11 memories That day will forever be etched in my memory. I was in a meeting client’s executive conference room on the top floor of the building in Crystal City. For those of you who don’t know, Crystal City is a part of Arlington, VA just south of the Pentagon and the conference room I was...

    Vintage descriptions for new ideas

    Generally don't use the e-words I try to avoid using the e-words like email, eCommerce, eBusiness, etc along with some the more popular tech terms like cellular phone. They drive me nuts with the stupidity of terms! They just reek of marketing. :rage: The "e" of course was intended to means it...

    What type of knot do you tie?

    Half-windsor When I wear a tie these days, it is a half-Windsor with a dimple. I am 6'2 and weigh a solid 205 so the knot looks about the right size on me. Besides, a four-in-hand brings back memories of those terrible black polyester ties I had to wear when I was in the Army. Awful! PR

    Moleskine Notebooks; Have One?

    Front page I tape my business card to the first page and put $25.00 on the reward line. Lost one late last year that was set up like this. I received it in the mail with a small unsigned note about two weeks later (after I had given up all hope) asking me to donate the $25 to a disabled...

    Name The Last Time There Was So Much Naked

    In a sense you are correct that we (I mean American) have a hard time accepting others, both within our borders and outside our borders. I personally think it is because of two things. First, we do do not have the history of so many other cultures around the world; we are still trying to define...

    Source for vintage/vintage-esque journals

    Another Moleskine user I too use a Moleskine for just about everything. I have a large quad-ruled one for work, a large lined one for a personal journal, and then a smaller pocket size for quick notes. In my job, I spend a lot of time in front of presidents, ceo's, and cio's of some of the...
