I Cannot Make This Stuff Up - No BULL !!!!
I like talking with people that I meet in airports and on airplanes. I never know when I will meet a potential client (The Miracle of the Middle Seat), find someone who has read my book (yes, yesterday a complete stranger told me his firm has a dozen copies of "Some Assembly Required: A Networking Guide for Women" as part of his firm's women's initiative), learn about a niche business, or just hear a work related story that makes me giggle in the core of my soul.

Darkness had set in and the weather was just as miserable only it wasn't quite icy enough for the moisture leaking from the sky to be ice.

ATB: Memo to Arizona Players - Time and Score, Gents
As usual, we’ll start with some news from today… The nation’s #1 shooting guard, Xavier Henry, announced to the world on Sportscenter during the 24HoCH that he will attend Memphis next season. His brother, CJ Henry, is already a Tiger. This is very good news to Calipari, who watched his team clank three after three last night (2-19) in their game against UMass, because Henry’s range easily extends out to 22 feet. Additionally, it shows that for elite guard prospects, Memphis has become the NB

At exactly midnight on September 18, 1954, my telephone rang. It was Jim Phalen, a pal of mine from the Long Beach Press-Telegram, and he had a "good flying saucer report," hot off the wires.

The story went on to tell about how a "blinding green" fireball the size of a full moon had silently streaked southeast across Colorado and northern New Mexico at eight-forty that night

Well, based on two years of data collection and 15 beers with known hop varieties, I have discovered ... nothing.Well, not quite nothing. I lined up every hop used in these beers (9 of them) and looked to look which ones with the "decomposition note" had various constituent e

Monday’s Writers of the Web
Image by KmountMan via Flickr Monday once again, yes that one day that means a fresh start to a new week of prospects and possibilities. At least that is how I have been trying to look at it lately.
