Hi Friends!  

Unfortunately, due to Facebook rules and limits, I am being forced to “unfriend,” (THEIR term - not mine) everyone on my Facebook page and create a "Fan Page".

  According to their rules, if you want to keep up with me on Facebook, you will need to join my Fan Page. I hate that term, by the way. I wish Facebook would simply call them public pages.

  Regardless, when you join my fan page you will continue to...

The Second Half Is About To Begin!

Tuesday, December 29, 2009

Thank God for the second half!

Have you ever had that thought? Has your team ever performed below expectations in the first half, only to seem like a different group altogether in the second half? Well, in a way, they were a different group. The team that takes the field for the second half is never the same team that played in the first. Why? Because of halftime . . .

If you’ve...

Your Personal Water Tank

Thursday, December 3, 2009

The Butterfly Effect

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

No project I have ever done in my life has affected me so profoundly as the research I did a few years ago on The Butterfly Effect. Working with the United States Air Force at the time, I was charged with finding “proof of the value of an individual life”. At that time, the military as a whole was just discovering that suicide had become more prevalent within their ranks than with the civilian population as a whole.

What You Don't Know CAN Hurt You!

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

Last week, two people drowned on Perdido Key.

Our house is not on the beach, but we do live near it and every time something tragic happens in or around our coastal community, the news spreads quickly. Unfortunately, drownings are a fairly common occurrence anywhere tourists and saltwater meet. In fact, on the same day two people from out-of-state lost their lives, eleven more were rescued by lifeguards.

Why did this happen? Why such a...
