On being thirty one…

Every so often, I am asked where I see myself in fifteen years, and I never know how to answer this question…
Fifteen years ago, I was sixteen, a sophmore at Hereford High School…
I had my entire life figured out… I would graduate in 94, go to the Air Force Academy, and be a [...]

For the record…

It is the end of the month, I have delivered nine vehicles this month… I REALLY need to get at least one more out.
Any takers?

Overcome…

I Will Overcome
by CHARLIE HALL
And I can see that my hands are trembling, I can see that my legs are weak
I can see that my head is spinning, but I will overcome
And I know that my heart is hurting, And I know that my soul it aches

Brand Identity, and Consistent Messages…

Ok, so this is where the geeky side of me comes out…

I often find myself coming back to this poem… In [...]

Who is this Eugene fella, anyhow?

So, I am three weeks away from my first trip to Eugene, Oregon…
I am excited, nervous, anxious, and impatient about the whole thing…
This is my “confirmation trip”, my chance to get a feel for the area, to follow up on the research I have been doing with random strangers that I have contacted through craigslist [...]
