    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality.

Today I have a few meetings that will take up about half my day.  That’s common on Mondays or Fridays because that’s when our consultants try to be in [...]

back at it, but havin’ a hard time feelin’ it

So, this past weekend’s trip to where I grew up in Minnesota was a great bit of fun.  My youngest sister got married.  I got to spend time with family and friends.  And, I even got to work a bunch too.  It helps that every Starbucks and Caribou coffee shop is another office, just waiting [...]
