Word has it that the Georgia Democratic party is looking for a U. S. Senate candidate for 2014. Well, I thought, look no further I’m your man. My loyal reader(s), don’t panic: I know I’m jumping the gun, am way too full of myself, and not quite ready to “throw my hat in” for such […]

With the first half in the books, and our halftime now complete, the question on the field is the strategy for finishing the game. Where do we go from here? What is the definition of winning? How do we use our remaining time to not only end victorious, but personally satisfied, financially content, with a […]

Friday brought a great personal treat when I spoke to the current Atlanta class of Year Up, a wonderful non-profit that connects young adults who need opportunities to companies who need talent. After an hour with 85 of our next generation’s most capable, motivated and friendly future leaders, I left Year Up’s midtown office with […]

Besides receiving an unexpected, oversized package from the IRS, there are few things people dread more than a Jury Duty summons in their mailbox. With its imposing State Court, Fulton County, GA circular logo, stern instructions to “please read all instructions carefully” and not too subtle threats that failure to obey is punishable by fine […]

Out of an abundance of caution, I hydrated this morning in advance of today’s trip to the Rocky Mountains only to find myself wedged in the middle seat on Southwest Airlines needing to get up and ugh, you know. Blocking my path is a 200+ pound sleeping man in the aisle seat causing me to […]

When you don’t shop often, going to a department store can be intimidating. The dazzling display of row upon row of clothes from designers I have never heard of and looks, styles and colors that don’t resemble anything in my existing wardrobe makes me want to immediately leave just moments after arriving. When that fight […]

Finishing, “A Walk in the Woods”, Bill Bryson’s personal tale of tackling the Appalachian Trail (AT), made me think of some of my own outdoor adventures. Fortunately, these memories were brief and relatively benign as I don’t like to sleep in the woods that much, have trouble setting up even today’s idiot proof tents, and […]

Being a “tennis player” has always been part of my identity. Left-handed and a native New Yorker, there is a little John McEnroe (minus the tantrums) in my game, a craftsman with surgeon-like touch, an artist on a tennis court canvas; stubbornly consistent, creative but lacking big power, my game is ideally suited for a […]

During my blogging absence this summer, my wife insisted that, once and for all, I remove my computer from the breakfast table, leaving me basically a homeless blogger in my own home. Her rational for this new draconian household rule had something to do with the breakfast table not being an office, it’s for eating […]

So there I was yesterday, on the 12th tee box, watching time stand still. A well struck 8-iron, with a controlled draw that barely missed the trees on the right, continued to work it way left, catching the right side of the heavily tilted, smooth-as-silk green on the venerable Somerset Hills golf course back nine.
