Continue reading →: So You Want To Be An Astronaut?
I had this interesting idea for a series of blog posts. I thought it might be interesting to write up something fun and career-related at the same time. How about this: When most of us were growing up, we all had fantasies about what we wanted to be when we…

…..before someone stops you from hitting the wall? As some of you know, my wife and I are Oakland Athletics fans. To be honest, it is especially hard to admit that to myself, much less others. I understand that in the series opener against the Angels, the A’s lost 10-1.…

Hi folks, Here’s a short list of some pending blog posts that I am working on. Usually, I do all of the legwork, surrender all the BS&T (that’s “blood, sweat, and tears”), and take all the credit, but considering the level and scope of content, I am actively looking for…
