Sometimes I like to write about a book I am reading. This is one of those times. I am living up in Maine, probably through the summer (it is 2021) and while I am working most of the day on zoom, when I have a break or on weekends, I am out in the freshContinue reading “The Nature Fix”

I recently decided to go back to work. It’s worth reminding all of my loyal readers out there (hello???) that I took pretty much the whole pandemic off from (for profit) work. I had finished working for a london-based fintech, the company was sold to Visa, I did about 6 months at a startup untilContinue reading “Back to Work”

My kids grew up and left home. This is as it should be and of course we make extraordinary efforts to see them whenever and wherever we can. The also took our cars, which are now their own. Then they took our dogs (except my first, who got her own dog), so we figure it’sContinue reading “Restocking”

Spring is a pretty cool season. There is always a feeling of renewal – i mean it’s so encouraging to learn that all those flowers were not really dead, they just headed south for the winter (like i should have). First up are the daffodils. This photo is pretty cool – a gentleman who livedContinue reading “Spring”

It was recommended to me by my friend Steve Rogers, recently retired Professor at Harvard Business School. Steve knows that I am an avid consumer of #blm books and he said that Professor Baradaran is aContinue reading “The Color of Money”

In the second I spoke about my longstanding involvement with Junior Achievement, Now that I am on the ‘back nine’ of my commercial career I have been doing more work than justContinue reading “non-profiting (3)”

In my last post I mentioned how I developed an appreciation for ‘giving back’ when I was a child, thanks to my parents, particularly Dad, who founded the Radnor, Pa chapter of A Better Chance (ABC). I eventually grew up (so to speak) and looked for ways to get more personally involved than writing checksContinue reading “non-profiting (2)”

I thought I would write a little about my efforts in the non-profit world. Having spent 39 years in the commercial (for profit) world, mostly in the IT Sector, I have spent the last year and a half focusing on my non-profit activities. People like to say ‘giving back.’ Okay, if that works for you.Continue reading “non-profiting”

Today I successfully scheduled an appointment to get a covid-19 vaccine. Its interesting how good I feel about it – more than I expected, frankly. Like everyone else, I have been careful throughout the pandemic, though we did see our kids, got tested, quarantined, wore masks, etc. I have not been lobbying to get theContinue reading “i got an appointment”
