socrates with jefferson as a lens

July28

i found myself in a tight spot with a client this very day. i could see he was ethically challenged.

there was, and remains, a lot at stake. i felt compelled to intervene and demonstrate an equitable path.

i remembered the face of my father and the words of dr. nick pappas.

socrates understood.

and, i was inspired.

today i changed a heart – if not history. that is a demonstration of the sweetest kind of victory.

peace be to my brothers and sisters.

What’s All This About?

"What am I looking at?", you might wonder.

Lots of stuff.

Meanwhile, here, I discuss events, people and things in our world - and, my (hardly simplistic, albeit inarticulate) views around them.

You'll also learn things about, well, things, like people you need to know about, and information about companies you can't find anywhere else.

So, while I harangue the public in my not so gentle way, you will discover that I am fascinated by all things arcane, curious about those whom appear religious, love music, dabble in politics, loathe the media, value education, still think I am an athlete, and might offer a recipe.

All the while, striving mightily, and daily, to remain a prudent and optimistic gentleman - and, authentic.
