I have a reach of about 10,000 through my RSS feed, email list, mailing list and search engine traffic. I tell you this not to boast, but to share with you how careful I am about the things I talk about on my blog and in my weekly ezine.
Each person has put some trust in [...]

I’ve been enjoying a computer and Internet free week. I’m kind of proud that I was only tempted to go online once on Wednesday and that was all of one hour just to grab a phone number to call a colleague and approve some blog comments.
It’s Friday and I am continuing to enjoy this break. I won’t be online [...]
