Intentionally Vicarious: Having more fun than anyone else you know!

The great conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein really got it right when he said...

"To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time."

Reality Leakage: Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a Democrat who held significant positions in the Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford administrations. He also represented New York in the U.S. Senate from 1977 to 2001.

In 1994, the Senate debated Bill Clinton's "Goals 2000" legislation. Among other things, it promised - not suggested working toward or trying, but promised - that America's high school graduation rate would be 90% and that American students would lead the world in math and science achievements.

Who'da thunk it? NASA egg-heads with a sense of humor!

Common Sense is common. It's Common - Typical - Average - Run-Of-The-Mill. By definition, if something - anything - is common, virtually everybody has it. There is nothing the least bit special about it.

I had the good fortune to catch up with a colleague and friend from the past. Paul Nicholson is a Zoho ONE Authorised Training Partner among a host of other things... Paul & I got connected in a bit of an unusual way - It was about 10 years ago and we were both doing consulting work for a company in Bermuda - So the guy from Doncaster in the UK meets the guy from Atlanta, GA in Hamilton Bermuda!

It's no secret that I claim to be having more fun than anyone else I know. Yes, quasi-tongue-in-cheek, but the fact is, it genuinely is an important life-goal for me, and I take having fun seriously.

If you're going to cook, cook like W.C. Fields.

No, I don't like golf all that much. THAT said, each year for the last 28 years, I've gotten together with three buddies for a golf trip. Maybe it's not about golf...

Make Congress suffer the consequences of their own sadly childish behavior.
