Life and MLB strike zones are not fair.
From Volume 14, Issue 5: If you’re a baseball fan and watch Major League Baseball games on TV, you’ve seen the overlaid strike-zone box at the plate that indicates to the viewer where the “strike zone” is for that batter. If the ball is within the rectangle, then it’s assumed to be a strike. Outside? It’s a ball. Pretty simple, huh?

From Volume 14, Issue 4:We have what we have because we are who we are. And we are who we are because we do what we do.

From Volume 14, Issue 3:Everybody’s entitled to their opinion, right?

From Volume 14, Issue 2:It’s a pretty overused term: clarity. So I thought I’d put my thoughts on my byword in one of these monthly missives.
Hoping, Wishing, and Wanting
From Volume 13, Issue 11:Twenty-five years ago I read Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God, a very interesting series of books written as the author sorted out his life and the lives of those around him through dialogs he had with God.

From Volume 14, Issue 1:In my work over the past 20 years or so, I’ve paid a lot of attention to “employee engagement.” Not side-stepping the profession of companies and software tools that quantify that, I’ve looked more at whether or not an employee cares about his environment (the company and its goals, the people around him, those who supervise him, and who he supervises, etc.).
