We left St. Louis after work with the two back seats of the van folded down and tons … Continue reading “Family Vacation Day 1 6/2/2011”
If you asked me a couple of years ago if I would ever outsource, I would tell you no way. I had seen an outsourcing project go quite wrong early in my career and never wanted to repeat that experience again. I should not have let one experience jade my view of outsourcing, but I … Continue reading “Rethinking Outsourcing”
I won’t post any photos for those of you that are squeamish, but Corvin had another accident. He was playing around and fell back, splitting open his head.

Once we got down to breakfast, we realized that it would be a bit longer before we left the hotel. The food at breakfast was amazing. Fresh quiche and waffles. In an effort to … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 4”
Friday morning, I woke to the alarm on my phone. I was quick to get through my morning routine and be dressed to ride.
