We also solved an Escape box. Ran out of time because some of the clues were stupid.

Today is my 34th birthday. For the first time, I had to actually calculate from my birth year to figure out how old I was. 2000 – 1984 = 16, 2018 – 2000 = 18, 16+ 18 = 34! Scary.

Life is very good to me and has pretty much been continuously improving since I was born.… read more “Old Man”

A friend asked me if I was advocating for the establishment of some sort of world governing buddy based on my recent post on Organizational Punishments.

I do think that a very constrained, well thought out structure for a world governing body is going to be necessary. Establishing one is dangerous though as there will be no higher power or competing similar sized power to get it in line if something bad happens.… read more “World Governing Body”

Right now, I am extremely happy. I have discovered that the harder I work, the happier I am in the moment. I have been working out most every day. There has not been an alcoholic drink that has passed my lips in 206 straight days. I have been having lots of interesting lunch / breakfast dates with CEO’s in my Vistage group.… read more “Happy Camper”
