First, I have mixed feelings when I learn my wife’s nickname for me means “hot potato” in broken Spanish. It’s highly descriptive, and partially randy, but confusing […]
I Won!
Contests are powerful. Most of us love the thrill of competition. Spelling bees, state football play-offs, running in a 5K, or building a business in an uncertain economy seems to keep our blood flowing!

Manic Monday
I have decided that any Monday that includes a County governmental meeting should be declared a Manic Monday. It has become apparent that, regardless of the amount of time that they take off, this group cannot come together and just simply do the business of the County.
