Are You Living Your Dreams?
What Are You Waiting For?
I’m writing this blog on Sunday, Super-bowl Sunday.  Although the Colts are in the big game, my heart, and mind is somewhere else… as it has for the last four years.
Four years ago yesterday.  Las Vegas. February 6, 2006.
Me and a bunch of my friends had finished […]

Sometimes a book comes your way and you feel a need to read it.  However, it’s not often I feel compelled to read a fifty-four year old book that weighs in at a hefty 1,192 pages.  Thank goodness I had it on my nifty Sony e-book reader, it tends to hide the actual length of […]

“One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others by the time I finish my song?  (with thanks to Joe Raposo and Jon Stone). 
I always loved that song, one of my favorites from Sesame Street.  But that’s another blog […]

NBC
Nothing But Cowards
The headline in the WSJ today was awesome:  NBC to Pay Conan O’Brien $40 Million…The article continues… “the comedian’s exit agreement prohibits Mr. O’Brien from bad-mouthing his former NBC bosses, according to people familiar with the matter, but paves the way for him to land another TV gig within a year.”
No Bloody Clue […]

Happy Happy Monday… The Colts won on Saturday, we’ll beat up on the Jets this weekend, and then off to the Superbowl to win our second crown.
As I have mentioned before, I am honored to be the special international advisor to my friends at APQC and their current benchmark study.  To that end, I am […]

A “Grabber” headline, with apologies to my dad for my horrific grammar.
But it’s true.
There has been a lot of talk recently about companies revisiting their 2008-09 decisions to freeze wages, skip bonuses, and stop contributing to their employees’ 401k’s.   It’s all good.
But it doesn’t matter.
Money is overrated: In fact, pay has little, if anything […]

Happy Friday… and welcome to Snowbound, Indiana.   Three inches so far, and the white powdery stuff keeps fallin’.  I’ve always believed that unless snow gets you out of school (younger Drizin) or work (older Drizin), there really isn’t much use for it.  Yea, I know, some people love to race down the slopes on […]

2010.
Crazy how time flies when you are having fun, it’s a shame that time doesn’t stop flying when you aren’t.
Anyways…  let’s start this year off with a survey!!
Americans’ job satisfaction falls to record low
It’s a shocker, huh?
Not if you have been listening to little ‘ol me for the last three blog-years, or the last fifteen […]

First, how small is the group of people reading this blog entry today?
Let me tell you, it’s pretty tiny.   Teeny tiny.  Itty bitty.
A grain of sand in the Sahara Desert.
A drop of water in the Atlantic Ocean.
An ounce of integrity in Washington D.C. (that was for my friend, Randy).
But it just doesn’t matter, it […]

You know how much I appreciate a good “grabber” headline.
Sometimes they are ingrained on a time period, like “Dewey Defeats Truman”, the famous Chicago Tribune headline from 1948.  How ’bout the famous New York Post headline voted one of the best ever, “Headless Body in Topless Bar” (1983).  Go back to 1935 and enjoy “Sticks […]
