Persistence While standing in line year’s ago waiting to be served at a Post Office, I noticed what now sits on my desk framed. It reminds me of what it takes to push on. To take the right road and hang in there. I think of: The individual apparently blessed with talent who runs out…
Today’s Younger Generation Are A Lost Bunch ! No doubt just what the generation before said about my generation and the generation before that.

It’s always great to catch up over a game of golf with respected friends and colleagues.
