By now I think I have been challenged by at least five different people. I have been avoiding this, partly because I was too afraid to try and get the list to 10 books. But since … Continue reading Influential Books

Twelve Questions on my Mind Today

Every once and awhile a big question pops into my head. Sometimes I think about those questions and am completely focused on them. Sometimes I ignore the questions because I am just too busy.

In fact, far more … Continue reading Twelve Questions on my Mind Today

This Week’s Links

Tuesday on the blog means that it is time to share some links to things I have found interesting and thought provoking over the past week. As I mentioned last week, this week’s edition is a tiny bit shorter because of traveling and other work and project commitments.
