A good and close friend of mine just lost her sister. And while I am never lost for words, in this case some music came out instead.
Georgia, this song is for you and your sister!!

The Closing of 2009
Just as I do every year, I sat down to write this post. I found it particularly difficult; you see, it was not a good year. I always try to focus on the bright aspects of the year that passed. This year is difficult.

Getting Old
Is it getting old or becoming old?
When I turned 43 all of a sudden I realized my age. It is not as though 43 is really any older than 42. What hit me was the fact that I was over 40. I am officially entering my midlife. I am no longer amongst the youngest in [...]

The Closing of 2008
2008 has been a hard year for me. Not hard in the sense of bad, but hard in the sense of long, with comings and goings, hardships and uncertainties, a number of disappointments and many changes. And through all the year’s developments, my wife and kids have been there for me. I am one lucky guy.

The Faithful And The Intellectual
I have been “accused” that I am trying to get to faith through an intellectual exercise and that I will never get there. I neither agree, nor disagree. Regardless of the outcome, the road is worthwhile.
According to the dictionary, faith is defined as:
Complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
Strong belief in God or in [...]

On Vacation And Disconnected
Last week I was on vacation … yeah!! For the last 10 years, or more, I have always been connected throughout the time I was on vacations. I always felt that I needed to make myself available to my employees or the companies I worked for. Through most of the jobs I have had, [...]
