From the title of this post, was your first thought that this article would be about failure, or did you think it would be about adventure? My guess would be the former. We live in a negative society. People tend to hate success it seems, unless they are the successful ones. Let’s tax the rich …

A friend of mine has a husband in the final stages of cancer. It’s a hard time for her, and I know because I went through it with my mother. It’s times like this that make me appreciate the life I’ve chosen to live. My mother was a work-a-holic, she’d volunteer for nearly everything she could …

Physically, I hate this time of year. The weather changes are a nightmare for my body. Anyone who thinks it’s cool to get “hit on” by women all the time better mean they aren’t driving a Honda at the time. When I feel like this, it makes it tough to get motivated to do anything. It …

Well, for some reason, last night I appear to have lost my Real Estate category from my projects list. Not sure why… I went through the site rather quickly and manually put it back in. At the same time, I took the opportunity to re-classify some of the other projects. As the site has grown and …

So, after about a week of tinkering, I think we can proudly announce that we’ve finished the transition to a new look and feel. Of course, over the transition period, we’ve received some feedback, mostly pointing out silly errors on my part…which prompted today’s posting… A friend of mine, my best friend as it turns out, …

A friend of mine has been running his business for a long time. I remember a comment he made one time when we were having lunch, he said: I can’t wait until I’m 65 and retired so that I can finally enjoy life. I nearly choked on my lunch, this guy was serious…he was waiting until he …

My kids are into the TV show Survivorman. It’s not usually a show I watch but, I did catch a bit of an episode where the star and a buddy got themselves lost in Northern Ontario (on purpose) to show what happens to hundreds of hunters every year. Because of a “mistake” their GPS was left …

I’ve been reading a lot of articles lately written by people who think the cure to poverty is increasing the minimum wage. They complain bitterly that companies like Walmart and McDonalds don’t pay a “living” wage. Now, would you pay someone $25/hour to say “Welcome” to your company? Not a chance, heck most companies wouldn’t …

In the game of baseball, three strikes, and you’re out. Not so in the game of life. Three strikes and you’re not out. There’s always one more thing you can do to influence any situation in your favor. All you’ve got to do is think, “What else can I do?” And after that, there’s one …

FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt). I just finished reading Gretzky’s Tears, a book about the “trade of the century” and how it changed hockey forever. I found the book itself lacked any real point, but was particularly fascinated by the story of people like Peter Pocklington and Bruce McNull. These are two fairly famous businessmen who …
