Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope you have a wonderful holiday and get to spend it with your family and friends.

Beliefs
I feel passionate about sharing my beliefs and values with you. This is who I am. I’m an honest and transparent individual. I can’t lie. I’ve never been able to. I don’t like liers and politicians. I don’t like bureaucracy and red tape. I prefer that people say what’s on their mind as opposed to thinking of what to say that will please you. I’m a free spirit....
7 Things Every Business Can Learn from Burning Man

Drunken Neighbors Band Live from Lake Tahoe
We first saw this band live at our wedding party on Aug 2, 2003. We invited them to play at our party and they were fun and got everyone in a great mood. A bottle of Jack Daniels helped them get through the long hours in the rain.
They didn’t have a CD back then. They do now. It’s called “Smoken Earl”. I think they are still putting their website together. Once it’s live...
