Back in the Saddle Again
It’s been too long, I have much to write, and much to comment on. But that will wait until tomorrow.
I got something in the mail yesterday to get me out of my birthday doldrums.

Music to my eyes.
In small letters on a postcard no-less.
Those three words are an integral part of the title of […]
Stick It…
No, not something I was told yesterday during my opening keynote at the Minnesota State SHRM conference, but something that seems to be “midwest” in nature.
Food on a stick.
Chicken on a stick. Meat on a stick (I think it was beef). A corn-dog on a stick. Assorted fruit on a stick. Even little tiny tomatoes […]
Need to Fill Jobs, But With What Tools?
First off, I can’t believe nobody groaned at me about my Worldwide Pants comment in yesterday’s blog. Not only was it pertinent to my snarky comments about David Letterman, it also happens to be the name of his entertainment company. However I found it hilarious.
Anyways…
Two studies showed up on my electronic doorstep today, together they […]
A Bad Mingled Wryness - Special Late Night Edition
Back from Virginia Beach, it was a little chilly yesterday. But walking in the sand during a drizzle is still better than walking in the snow on a sunny day.
Anyways…
For nearly twenty years I have talked about the importance of human resource as business experts. Not experts about bricks and mortar, not marketing or product […]
It’s a Brick House…
Another day concluded in Virginia Beach.
Another day that proves to me that the profession I chose is the right one.
Another day that reinforces that H.R. people love to buy books, especially those with the author’s name written in indelible ink on the inside cover.
Another night to see H.R. folks drink some wine, and “shake their […]
Yes Virginia, There is a Beach!
Yes, I know, it’s been a while. Lots of travel, lots of airports, lots of cabs, lots of hotel rooms, lots of speeches, lots of laughs, lots of “ah’s”.
But that shouldn’t take me from writing my blog, and for that, lots of apologies.
I’m here in Virginia Beach, looking out onto the ocean. Hypnotic really. The […]

365.
The number of seconds, the number of minutes, the number of hours.
The number of days since my father died.
The number of days I’ve been out of the sandwich generation.
The number of days I haven’t received a frantic phone call about my father falling, feeling ill, being rushed to the hospital.
The number of days I haven’t […]
A Bad Mingled Wryness - Special Tuesday G-20 Edition
I’m topical, if nothing else.
First and foremost, for those of you who were nice enough to tell me that my blog-site was down, thank you! For my friends at dreamhost, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL WHEN MY AUTO-PAY FEATURE DOESN’T GO THROUGH!!!!
Anyways…

I’m spending my last day in Pittsburgh doing additional work […]
A Bad Mingled Wryness - Special PIHRA Conference Edition!
Good morning from Palm Springs, California…
I’ve been here in P.S. since Sunday, my second trip to this part of the country. Other than having the country’s best airport to fly in and out of, it is beautiful out here. Desert, mountains, and green. Both figuratively and literally.
Anyways…
I’m here in Palm Springs participating in the 51st […]
My 100 Dreams
I have my first session with my dream manager, MBB today. Yes, I’m hiding her full name since her affiliation with me could cause her distress and condemnation in the future. As a CDM (Certified Dream Manager), I get to help people articulate and reach their dreams, AND I get someone to help me with […]
