March 31, 2017 – And…they’re safe!

admin March 31, 2017 No Comments

Well, we made it to Cooperstown safe and sound.  The day started with a torrential drizzle in Harrisburg, PA, the de facto home of the state structure, the pothole.  As we made our way to America’s oldest, continuously-operating brewery, Yuengling, and then onward to Cooperstown, we were lucky enough to ( continue reading… )

Wanted: Intepreters

admin March 27, 2017 No Comments

The initial connection between we three authors was our assignment to the On-Site Inspection Agency (now an activity under the Defense Threat Reduction Agency) as Russian interpreters. As a fellow author previously noted, we worked during interesting times which allowed us to have a direct influence on the implementation of ( continue reading… )

March 26, 2017 – Moscow Memories

admin March 26, 2017 No Comments

It has been almost 17 years since we left Moscow – and since the weather today is rather gloomy – I thought I’d share a few Moscow memories. Getting to Moscow had its share of unique problems.  The blizzard of ‘96 that literally shut down the federal government (and everything ( continue reading… )

March 25, 2017 – Perseverance

admin March 25, 2017 No Comments

This post will build on one written  Thursday by one of my fellow Dads and best friends.  Almost on cue yesterday, I was asked by a person I was mentoring what I considered one of the most sought after traits in a leader or subordinate.  After some thought, I ran ( continue reading… )

March 24, 2017 – Mental Toughness

admin March 24, 2017 No Comments

I have been fighting either the flu or allergies for the past week and it has progressively gotten worse.  As I was putting this post together though, I remembered how two of my favorite sports figures had arguably their greatest games when they were sick.  Michael Jordan’s NBA finals Game ( continue reading… )

March 23, 2017 – No Substitute for Hard Work

admin March 23, 2017 1 Comment

It is a daunting task writing this blog.  The three of us have remarked several times that there are a number of challenges we each struggle with.  First, it is hard to follow the other co-authors, because the writing is good and the concepts are ones we wish we’d thought ( continue reading… )

Rock and Roll Music (Attention: This is an interactive post)

admin March 22, 2017 4 Comments

Sadly, Chuck Berry died two days ago. Although I never owned any of his records (45, album, cassette, CD or streaming), I’ve always been an armchair fan of his. His music is iconic and his personality so charismatic. It’s been entertaining listening to people from all walks of life talk ( continue reading… )

Hopes and Dreams (Part 1)

admin March 21, 2017 1 Comment

I can’t tell you how many times I hear someone refer to their hope in a certain situation only to have some wiseacre retort, “Hope is not a plan.” Now I’m not saying that it’s okay to simply hope something will happen and not put in the required thought, initiative ( continue reading… )
