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”

I recently read The Color of Money, by Mehrsa Baradaran, who is a Professor of Law at UC Irvine. 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 my first two posts on this topic, i explained where my interest in serving the non-profit world came from (my parents, natch). 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)”

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”

Most people head south for a break in the winter, and that is perfectly understandable. We too like to feel warm again at some point during the long cold winters in the northeast. On the other hand, when you have a chance to visit Maine in the winter, it’s a wonderful beautiful place. I’ll tryContinue reading “It’s February, so…north, to Maine!”

It’s now been enough time since the inauguration of President Biden and VP Kamala Harris, that I can reflect on ‘how it feels.’ If I try hard, I can leave behind the policy questions of how much effort is being expended to undo what Trump worked on for four years – things like immigration, handlingContinue reading “Relief”

Well this seems to be the new most popular word in the US of A. Now that we’ve seen the back of Donald Trump (sorry, but I’ve no patience for those who don’t at least feel a sense of relief on that point), everyone seems to be talking about how to ‘unite’ or how toContinue reading “Unity”
