Some of you know that I am a fan of CNN’s Young People Who Rock blog. Usually, Nicole Lapin finds some really great stories of people under the age of 30 doing some remarkable things. A couple of weeks ago, Lapin made us all aware of Sean Forbes, a deaf musician who founded a non-profit [...]
After spending part of the previous evening in the hospital for some routine testing, me son Drew (pictured below in the yellow shirt) came down the stairs for breakfast looking a little tired, sad and glum. Here is how the conversation went…

I brought my son to the office with me today. I asked him, “Drew, do you want to go to work with me today?” He said, “Yes! I love the hot chocolate at Starbucks!” Apparently he is aware of my satellite office location too… It is not much of a secret anymore.
We [...]
I’m in Orlando today connecting with a potential employee for Sonlife. For some reason the hotel I am staying in had delivered to them the Sunday edition of the Orlando Sentinel today (Monday)! Somebody made a mistake somewhere down the line…
It actually ended up being cool. I found an article on brain-based [...]
