Social Media is Exhausting

I am not sure about you – but keeping up with x, y, and z, learning about the latest this, and the newest that is pure exhausting. I gave up Facebook over a year ago (still happy about that), really fell off of twitter in the last few weeks, and even stopped posting here. Why? […]

We Are…Penn State

Another sleepless night for me left plenty of time to think about the current situation and Penn State, what we can learn from it, and where we go from here.

We had the perfect day this past Saturday to walk around and see the sights. I specifically wanted to see the new MLK Jr. monument […]

Business Serenity Now!

This is Not Google

I just got a call from an automated service (I did not stay on long enough to hear all of it) that said: “This is an important call for the business owner. This is not Google…” I figured when they said “This is not Google” they really meant to say “this is a scam to […]
