Music Monday – “Well they walked that day/The next/And the next/And the water it ran out one by one/Ay mijitos/They looked like dried leaves/Scattered in the sun”

“Migrants” – Sam Baker One of the best managers I’ve known (at least measured by how many quotes of theirs I regularly regurgitate) once said something to this effect: One important thing to remember – those rules, policies, guidelines we have?  They’re all just words on paper.  They’re arbitrary.  And they can be changed completely […]

A while back on AskReddit, there was a question about “What will be the “smoking” of the next generation which our kids judge us harshly for?” At the time, I thought that it would be “eating meat” that would be seen by future generations as something that, although enjoyable, had a big negative impact on […]
