Blog Emergency

Big Ray needs the word spread about this.  It's important to him.  Please take a look:

Hello 911? I have an emergency and need your assistance.

I'm putting the ol' and familiar blog on hiatus for at least a few months.  Need to focus on real life.  Me, her, family, health, job(s), the new business, other important things.  I will return with a vengeance E.ventually.
Be well non-readers and waste time dig into my archives if you just can't make it without E.

This May Well Be True Enough


And, the problem is? 

Fret not too much.  We'll be out of the way soon enough.  We just will.  

The 10 Best Books of 2011...



according to the formerly great New York Times.

Some look very appealing to me.  That Stephen King one to be sure and I'm not a SK reader.  The Hitch essays too and the Malcolm X would be great to get from any of you out there this holiday.  And thanks.

There's No Better Joy...


          Very happy to get a Beatles Poster.  Ronnie is a true fan. 
 And a believer in the man himself.  


There's not a day goes by that Johnny doesn't ask me to make a CD for him.  Righteous Brothers is his latest request. 


 Laura is big into Chicago these days and has sworn off heavy metal for now.  She got Chicago VII this year.
 Mama Wink with Ed.  He just returned to the Club after a hiatus with a broken tail bone.  
 Tilman wanted pants this year.  One of the sweetest men alive.  
 Wally always wants a wallet or a watch.  He got a wallet and this t-shirt this year which happens to match what Ronnie wore to the party.  
 The great woman who did so much to make this party happen.  She is like no other in the size of her heart.  
Wink with Jedd. He's all about "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and enjoyed his book by him and a DVD of Stone Cold wrestling Hulk Hogan.  Historic I tell ya.  


than hanging with my Joy Club.

Don't Ever Never Forget...


that Jet Boy is out there rocking the free world.  Along with the Skipster.

Just sharing the love.

How WRONG of her to just not be that into you Mike

We need Mike's last name

Thanks Vox.

How Cool Is This?

A very strong endorsement from the man behind Sensory Dispensary.  I'm welcome to be mentioned in his holy trinity.  

Thanks so much Scott.

In blog years he and I actually go way back.

As a tribute to him and his blog, I am honored to put Sensory Dispensary on my "E.'s Top 12 - Frequent Stops" list.

Enjoy

Noonan on Newt

Never mind, Google had it.  

Noonan on Newt

I could have labeled this post with the following from my post labels and it would all be true about the Newtster:

America The Beautiful, Big Question Mark, Bookie, Brilliant, Call Me Skeptical, Creative Capitalism, Certifiable, Dictators, Disturbing, E's Guide to the Dog and Pony Show, God Bless America, Grandiosity, Gub'ment, History, I Could Give a Rat's Ass, Inspiration, Leadership / Business Related, Our Sad Future, Outrageous, Politics, Science, Techie Stuff, Sex, True Talent, Whatever, You Can't Control Stupidity, WTF?

Noonan's article captures the more than perplexing reality of Newton Gingrich.

True story.  My first boss in Augusta grew up in Columbus, GA as did Speaker Gingrich.   He brought in his high school yearbook so we could see Newton's photograph in all his high school glory.  Those glasses!  I wish I would have copied the page.

Why the hell didn't I?

Need help! I am working on a cheat sheet with helpful phrases managers can use when providing feedback on certain competencies (ie: communication, attitude, teamwork, etc.). Anyone have examples?

This from Heather, a "Learning and Development Manager"

And since it is the Christmas season, I will respond in the most appropriate and kind way that I can in the spirit of the holidays.  (Heather or others of her ilk might be coming to an enterprise near you.):

"From Assessments to Interventions, From Interventions to Engagement, From Engagement to Coaching"

From all that to... yawn.  

Being Lost...


in the silliness of busyness.  

Signs and symptoms:

  • Your usual response to “how are you?” is “so busy”, “crazy busy” or “busy but good”
  • You spend time worrying about how busy you are going to be tomorrow
  • You get angry when your spouse or friends aren’t as busy as you
  • Your busy life keeps you up at night thinking about everything you didn’t get done
  • You make a point of letting people know that you stay at the office after hours
  • You check email several times a day
  • You zone out during conversations thinking about everything you have to do
  • You volunteer for things you don’t care about
  • You spend time complaining about how busy you are
  • You make list after list to make sure you don’t forget anything during your busy day
  • You allocate time each day to clean your desk or organize your stuff
  • You regularly eat in your car
  • You use a phone in the car because “it’s the only time you have to talk”

Remembering...
