You’ve got to hand it to the Sony marketing team. They really outdid themselves this time. They have taken the old NBC”s “Must See TV” adage and made it a reality for a B grade movie with an ill-advised plot. Every American needs to man or woman up, get in line and spend some Christmas […]

As the buzz from the mind-expanding (Co)Lab conference slowly recedes, I cannot help but think of comments made in the very final session of the day and a half collaborative leadership summit.

Our family’s precious and beautiful dog, Lucky, will celebrate her 14th birthday this summer, and as dog lovers everywhere know, that is within drooling distance of becoming a centenarian.
