OREGON DUCKS FOOTBALL THIS YEAR, NOT NEXT

Oregon Ducks football roster includes ninety-nine players, thirty-five transferring in from other schools. They came to Saturday ranked #3, one spot below their opponent. They woke up Sunday with a one point win over #2 Ohio State. And as the new #2. How sweet is that team?

BIG DECISIONS ARE TOO HARD?

Big decisions come every day, one fastball after another. In the game of life, you stand in and take your cuts. You might get on base, you might strike out. Or you might opt out of the whole thing? Wait a minute.

EMPATHY FEELINGS? LET ‘EM OUT

The first time I wrote out ’empathy feelings’, spell check went to ’empty feelings.’ Empty feelings might be a better key word, just not the one I’m looking for. But I got an empty feeling scrolling through twitter, through yahoo news, and every other post was red hat related. Honest blogger that I am, it […]

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REMINDERS

Who needs a Personal Development Plan? A PDP? More like who doesn’t. From cradle to grave we’re either doing personal development, or planning personal development. It’s good to have a plan to work. But if your goal, your plan, is to become a world class jackass, keep working.

OVERTIME RULES: ASK T-REX ALL ABOUT IT

Overtime rules are simple: Come at me bro. It’s the same with normal time: Let’s go T. That’s T for T-Rex. The difference is that time is up for that big-headed beast. How about you? Are you feeling the same? Is your time up, too? Keep reading for hints it’s not.

FOR OLDER PEOPLE: WHAT’S IT LIKE?
