I LOVE things that make you think about building character.  The following is a call to action for those who feel the same.  I got it in an email from a good friend and it suggested that I, “forward this to everyone you care about” but I don’t do that kind of thing so the [...]

If a tree falls in the forest..

November 8th, 2006 · 1 Comment

I love producing: I found myself producing a college radio show for about a year and we gave away prizes from time to time. We never had anyone call in that we didn’t already know or that we didn’t ask to call in {like my wife – thanks sweetie.} I knew of other [...]
