Yet it was extremely fulfilling — similar to climbing a mountain. It’s almost all work, but the rewards at the top are worth it. We sold the business [...]
Living and Working on the Frontier
I started and operated a business on the frontier of Wyoming for 15 years. It was hard work – similar to exploring the frontier. It was a journey of discovery and promise that at times was harsh and full of hazards. It was epic.

Thoughts About The Facebook Effect
Disclaimer: I LOVE Facebook. I just finished reading The Facebook Effect, by David Kirkpatrick, a veteran technology reporter who was for many years editor for technology and the internet at Fortune magazine. The book is phenomenal. In fact, for me it was a page-turner.
