Atlantis and The Eye of the Sahara (Richat Structure)

Theme for 2016: “Why Not?”
2015 was an interesting experiment in goal setting. It was more about focus and theme vs specific goals. However, I did have one specific mandate for my business and that was profit. Yes, part of my 'theme' for the year, but it was a very pointed and...
Semi-Daily Journal: 002
Semi-Daily blog, indeed. Ten days after the first, and there has been a lot of things occur. But primarily I would say that being a parent, husband, business owner, teacher, friend, sibling and creative is a challenging juggling act. I found myself leaning...
Semi-Daily Journal: 001

(This article was written in January 2015. See Author's note at the end for a new additional perspective) In 2016, Star Trek and I will hit the half-century mark. That's right, 50 years young. Whether it was because my parents watched it, or I...
