My son, daughter and I were on our way to a Cub Scout field trip and running a little late, as is prone to happen on the weekend. We were almost to our meeting place when all of a sudden we had to come to a complete stop and wait for a few moments. It seems that there was some paving taking place on an adjacent street and the construction crew was working to get an asphalt distributor on to the street and on its way.
Is this noteworthy? Well, yes it is during these times.
As always, the constr… Continue

Having a website is not that hard to do. Technology has made it where just about any one can create a website for little or no money. I did a quick search for some of the sites that offer such free services and many of them are professional looking and offer the opportunity to upgrade your account to offer more features.
Yet if you only need the basic services of the free websites, then I completely suggest trying them. I think most people get scared thinking they can’t do it, they no little ab… Continue

This morning in Atlanta has started out cold and drizzly. A definite improvement however, from the weather we experienced yesterday.
As I drove to the office this morning, I was reminded that the veterans who have served our country over the many years have fought in this weather and in much worse. They have experienced the blistering heat and bitter cold. Swamps, deserts and city streets have been crossed by their footsteps – all in the pursuit of freedom.
We are truly blessed to live in a na… Continue

I was getting ready to find a place to sit for the Atlanta Bloggers Meetup this week, when Kimberly Kelly approached me. I had noticed Kimberly entering the room a few moments earlier carrying two large bags. It turns out that each of the bags contained several square boxes – each was decorated with a ribbon and had a business card attached to it. I was intrigued by Kimberly’s personality, as well as what might be contained in the box.
It turns out that Kimberly Kelly is the proud owner of Devi… Continue

Many people get a bit frustrated when they don't see the immediate results of networking. Hey, sometimes networking is a slow process and takes a while. I encourage all not give up, and keep plugging away with your networking efforts; even if you don't think it is going anywhere. When you least expect it, you will see results.
When you are networking, always think about how you can help others, and not so much what others can do for you. If you give more than you receive, eventually good things… Continue
