Let me say this about that. Over the course of my career, I had numerous occasions to travel to foreign countries on business.  Most of these trips were required to start new businesses or factories in a particular country, or to establish a partnership with an existing company.  Low labor costs were  important to the success of any […]

Let me say this about that. I have been interested in military history since I was a kid.  Later in life, my profession often required me to travel internationally, which also afforded me the opportunity to visit many of the great battle sites I had read about as a child.  However, visiting the site of a great military battle […]

  Let me say this about that. Most of my friends know that I’ve been around a bit  and thoroughly enjoy international travel – in particular to exotic destinations.  So an old buddy called the other day and asked if I might be interested in a trip to the Galapagos Islands. Now, I know for those of you living […]

Let me say this about that. Once the sole domain of the wealthy, cruise ship vacations are now as popular with the middle class as a trip to DisneyWorld.  Cruise ships have long since migrated from the stately, dreamy-paced life on-board, with it’s black tie dining, champagne brunches and string quartet chamber music.  Today’s cruise ship lines have […]

Let me say this about that. We’ve all done it …. imagined we have won the lottery and become an instant multimillionaire!  Yeah, I’ve done it myself (imagined – not won).  The burning question I always had was not ‘what should I do with the money’  but ‘what is the FIRST thing I would do […]

Let me say this about that. What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?  Not many Americans, raised on ‘meat & potatoes’, care for strange food, especially if it had a squirmy or scaly profile before it hit the plate.  I have never been burdened by a delicate palate, probably owing to my impoverished […]

Let me say this about that. I was exhausted.  I had been sent to Melbourne, Australia to turnaround a struggling electronics factory owned by my employer.  In those days the Australian labor laws allowed each employee one month’s vacation, one month’s sick leave, and nearly a month’s worth of holidays.  In addition, once per month an employee […]

Let me say this about that. Now, anyone who knows me well knows that I am no fan of eating out.  In my view, restaurants are places you go when 1) you have a wife that can’t cook, 2) you can’t cook, 3) you enjoy being demeaned by ‘actor wannabe’ waiters in ponytails, 4) you […]

Let me say this about that. A guy makes a return visit to his doctor to get the results of his tests from the week before: Doctor:  “Well sir, I have bad news, and I have really bad news.  The bad news is that you have cancer.  The really bad news is you have Alzheimer’s.” Patient:  “Well, at […]

Let me say this about that. The term ‘Bucket List” has been around for a while, but gained more popular use after the release of a movie of the same name in 2007.  It refers to a list of things you want to do before you “kick-the-bucket”.  As I get deeper in to my 60′s, […]
