It’s been an interesting week – almost completely occupied with work drama. The very reason I want to avoid working for someone else. What’s interesting to me is that the explanation given for some bad behavior was being tired and stressed.  Fair enough, most of us release our inner toddler under those circumstances.  But...

There is an implied stability in anything with three legs that is not present in anything with either two or four.

It’s amazing what a little vacation can do for you – while I didn’t find any treasure with monetary value in Florida over the weekend, I came back with a sense of adventure.   The plants were different, the shells on the beach were different,  the houses were different and I got to try authentic...
