Saturday Snap – All I Want For Christmas…

…is an $18,000 piece of art! But I should back up… After picking up Sasha for her art class (she’s decided she wants to be an artist or art teacher when she grows up), we all went to Pile of Bones Brewery intending to have a Saturday afternoon beer/soda.  But it was packed so we […]

Music Monday – “I still remember when thirty was old/And my biggest fear was September when he had to go/A few cards and letters and one long distance call/We drifted away like the leaves in the fall”

This is one of those songs that I have to rewind and listen to an extra time or two every time it comes on. I came across this version which is arguably more poignant than the original as Ms. Carter is now singing about youthful innocence from a perspective of an older woman rather than […]

I usually post a picture for Throwback Thursday but for something different today, I thought I’d post a different type of “throwback”. I was recently talking with someone about the best leadership/management/business books we’d read. I said I have a few favourites but one called “Employees First, Customers Second” by Vineet Nayar was the first […]
