I did it again last week. I atually do it all the time. I was at my office and in a conversation with a co-worker.  I cut them off so I could say what I wanted to say, not allowing them time to even finish their sentence.  I felt the…

One of my very first bosses, when I started getting an actual paycheck in the Music Industry over 25 years ago, had a peculiar nick name.  I didn’t quite understand it at the time, as I was just a young intern working in the mail room for free.  I quickly…

I had a project due this week at work. And I didn’t get it finished. I kept working on it. Going back to it. Doing more research. Rewriting a part or two. And I missed the deadline to turn it in. Have you ever done this? Have you ever gotten…

Back when I was working in the secular music industry I worked with what we would call some real life, bigger than big, music industry “characters”. They were interesting people to say the least.  They truly lived up to the rock n’ roll, record executive mogul-type people that you have…

Our family played a game of golf recently. Now our son has been given a gift when it comes to sports. He is not the best sports person that ever lived by any means, but he has a natural talent that allows him to be able to start a new…

Things got heated in a meeting I was running recently. And I didn’t like it. I was running a meeting at work with about 20 or so folks. Everyone from peers to managers was in attendance. We were trying to plan some future projects together, and one particular person didn’t…

Last week was a special time for my family and me. My oldest son graduated from 4th grade and will be headed to a new school – middle school – in the Fall (the school system we currently live in has K-4 and then moves to a 5-6 middle school)….
