This past week I had the opportunity do a little work with an old client. My business partner, Sharon Armstrong, and I had worked intensely with this company for two years but have not worked with them for about three years. It is always unclear as to how those who we coached during that intensive [...]
College basketball is ending and major league baseball is beginning with the usual bad weather, cancellations, etc. sure to happen. It is amazing to me that professional team owners continue to risk the high priced talent on their rosters by playing in inclement weather. Oh well, what do I know? Baseball is a hot weather [...]
March Madness, strangely enough, will come to an end in April this coming weekend. Four teams left with an opportunity to win the NCAA Basketball Championship. In one bracket we have two teams representing programs that have a long history of being on the big stage: the University of Kentucky and not quite as long, [...]
For those of you who are rabid college basketball fans, this past weekend was as good as it gets. Four days packed with buzzer-beaters, upsets, great wins and yes, disappointments.

A few days ago, I received a phone call from the Harlem Globetrotters. To be more precise, the call was from my old friend Governor Vaughn who is in charge of Alumni Affairs for the Trotters. I was thrilled to hear from him as we had lost touch with each other after he retired from [...]
No this isnt about the days of John Dillinger or the Chicago mobsters. Or, whoever it was that shot all those people. I am talking about the day that men are black-mailed into honoring the love of their life called Valentines Day. Women readers, before you start heating up the tar for the feathers bear [...]
This evening the long-awaited football game to decide who is the Collegiate Football National Champion will be played in Phoenix, AZ.
