THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Okay, I admit that I am a conservative. In addition, I believe in the U.S. Constitution, and that it’s content is timeless. That being said, I am deeply concerned with the direction that our country is headed. In just six short months, the current administration has openly and overtly ignored that historic document that so [...]

We had a surprise visit from Rick Leventhal of the Fox News Channel late last year. I was with a new client on Friday afternoon when I noticed a group of people entering our spy shop showroom. (I have a one-way mirror that allows me to see the showroom from my office). Leventhal and his crew seemed very [...]

I NEED A VACATION

I think it was three years ago when my wife and I visited Napa Valley for a mini-vacation. We love the wine country and it’s products.

This has been a very stressful week. We experienced multiple employee problems that resulted in the termination of three of our security guards. That is never a pleasant task. Filling their shifts with new employees only adds to the stress. We typically go through 10 applications to find one quality candidate. This week was no exception.

Do you remember your first cell phone? I think it was 1989 when a buddy of mine who worked for a Dutch electronics company gave me a mobile phone. It was huge! The phone was attached to the battery pack and needed a canvas bag with a shoulder strap. The cost to activate the phone combined with the [...]

What planet are you from?

I have lost count of the number of space cadets who have come to our spy shop seeking help with what inevitably turns out to be voices in their heads. While it is at times amusing and entertaining, it is ultimately a very sad state of affairs. Mental illness comes in a variety of types, [...]

Yesterday was another crazy day. With my wife out of town with our 15 year old, and the other two step children with their “real dad”, I have been making several trips to the homestead to check on our pets and the contractor working on our backyard deck. This is of course in addition to running [...]

Cocktail Party Chat

So what do you do for a living? That question is standard operating procedure for most men at first meeting. Perhaps it is just the way we are made. I find it rather amusing to listen my fellow mates discuss their careers. Most are unfulfilled and wish they were doing anything else. I will usually [...]
