New Blog at TheSlowBleed.com
I launched a new blog site this week called TheSlowBleed.com
It seems I can’t read the newspaper or turn on the tv without being inundated with seemingly stupid decisions that are slowly destroying our country. I begin to wonder if they are completely random or if we are simply feeling the result of someone’s sinister plan […]

Stunt Flying in WWII T-6
OK, as some of you know I had the chance to fly with a couple colleagues during some filming over the last several years. I have to say, that experience made me want to go up in a plane again.
Of course, I tend not to do anything “normal” so it was stunt flying I […]

Life Out There?
I suspect the only proof I have that there is intelligent life in the universe is the fact they have not tried to contact us.

Mankind’s Greatest Invention
I was recently asked what I thought mankind’s greatest invention was.
Without a second thought I said “music.” Far greater than the automobile, plane, or computer; music not only transcends all generations, except for the brief period when you have a teenager, but transcends race, sex, and governments.

Yes Virginia, there are winners and losers…
When I was in sixth grade I lost both a spelling competition and a sport competition. It pretty much meant that I was not a top student intellectually or physically. The spelling competition was your run of the mill type – I couldn’t spell “equalize,” so I was out. The sport competition was the then […]

Immigration
Imagine you are the host of a holiday party. Which “holiday” is not important and is certainly a subject for another blog. For your holiday party, you decide to invite 100 people. Since it is a friendly party in your home, you want it informal and ask each invitee to bring a bottle of wine […]

What do you REALLY want for the holidays?
I often feel like Scrooge when this subject comes up (and not the part at the end when he starts handing out free turkeys and the like). As much as I hate saying it, this needs to be said.
Each year the holidays bring out the best in most of us. Some of us are […]

Your Marketing Objective Reduced to Five Words…
Extraordinary Marketing
Over time I have seen a multitude of marketing methods in our industry. I have seen the basic (direct mail, newspaper advertising) to the bizarre (sandwich boards, pony rentals) to the unique (well, it wouldn’t be fair to those involved to list those here). I have also seen some people spend more time setting […]
