Apheresis Donation
I may have already written about donating platelets before, but since I donated again, I thought I would bring it up again. You can never have too much of a good thing! When I donate my platelets, it is a 2-hour process. It is similar to donating blood; the blood is fully contained within the…

Today is a short post. It is the weekend and I am spending some time working on a website for my local town’s Recreation Department. I have been doing this for a few years and I enjoy volunteering my time and giving back to my community. Many people complain about taxes, politics, government, and how…

He is Just Down to Earth
I was driving in the car listening to the radio when a commercial came on for Bruce Springsteen and his band’s upcoming five-night extravaganza at Giants Stadium here in NJ. I started to think of what a rush it must be to play in front of that many people. I checked a few places and…

I found this quote which is very fitting: “Excellence can be attained if you Care more than others think is wise, Risk more than others think is safe, Dream more than others think is practical, and Expect more than others…

Literally No Gratitude
Last month, someone subscribed on 8/28 and then quickly unsubscribed on 9/1. That did not last long at all! When someone unsubscribes from the Quote of the Day, they have an opportunity to let us know why they want to discontinue. This person indicated, “I did not receive a single quotation regarding gratitude.” I was…

Bye Bye
The list of recipients for those who get the Quote of the Day continues to grow on a daily basis. A few times a week, I will receive a comment or an email from someone expressing their gratitude for what I am doing. To me, that makes the time and investment worth while! Occasionally, however,…

La Nouba
After putting in a full day at the conference, our evening entertainment was a trip to see Cirque Du Soleil’s La Nouba. What a fantastic show!
