Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
If you follow my Saturday series, you may have heard me mention Corona Beer. I have come to prefer Corona over other lagers, and now I have a new reason to support the brand – the Corona “Losing Blue” can. Corona is brewed in and imported from Mexico. Mexico is a country whose economy depends... Continue Reading →
This might be a strange little post for WATWB. I was alerted to a Twitter Tweet Stream earlier in April by a person I follow who said: “This is the nicest story I’ve read in a long time.” Who could resist? It’s a story, written originally as a series of tweets, by a woman who... Continue Reading →
Slightly over 40 years ago, when I was in graduate school, “Business Ethics” wasn’t a separate course, but it was a section that was covered in several courses.

After polishing off an order of Tater-Tots at the Big-E, Faith and I were looking for something to wash them down. We were walking past one of the bar tents, when Faith noticed that they had Bloody Marys on the menu. We thought about it, but we didn’t want to delay our arrival at the... Continue Reading →
Saturday, Faith and I went to The Big-E – The Great New England Fair. The Big-E is a harvest fair, an old-time agricultural fair. It’s supposed to be cool and breezy, with fair food and maybe a cup of hot chocolate, if you’re there very early or still there very late. It’s not supposed to... Continue Reading →
