My wife and I went out for a 6 mile hike in the snow with our dogs today and a conversation about how much technological change we have witnessed in our lifetimes was triggered when she asked me this question: Do we still have a DVD player? We remarked about our journey from…
Nearly 30 years ago, a good friend of mine gave me an expressionist print, the somewhat lengthy title of it is: “The irony is this – if you don’t go in…you can’t find out.” I love that print. It is in my office where I see it every day. I sometimes find myself staring at…
