[October 16, 2024] I’m sitting in my recliner with my right leg propped up, bandaged, and swollen after knee-replacement surgery last week.

I will be accused of mocking the newest leftist… Read More »
[October 15, 2024] The core message of my website since day one has been to show what proper leadership looks like and how to succeed in a difficult leader environment.

[September 28, 2024] Dogs are great. It does not matter whether the dog can follow commands, learn tricks, or retrieve a ball.
