Three Famous People Who Stole Important Inventions.
It never ceases to amaze me what scoundrels lurk amongst us waiting to seize upon some other poor soul's brilliance to claim it as their own. In fact, history is littered with a litany of dastardly deeds by ne'r do wells trying to muscle in on somebody else's hard work and success.

A Little Kindness Goes A Long Long Way
Way back in 2000, with a solid two-year background in commission-based, cold-call advertising sales behind me, I decided I'd had enough of staying in hotels three days every single week, always in a different city. Yes, I was good at it and made a great deal of money, but I was tired of always being away from home. And there is only so much of five-star hotels you can take. I sorely missed being able to leave work and kick back my feet in my own home sweet home. So I got a job in new car sales at a Fiat and Alfa Romeo Dealership.

A Letter To My Children
I remember so well the days you were all born, I was there as you made your entrance into the world.

A Day In The Life
I am not a morning person, never have been (well, maybe fifty years ago), and never will be. I need time to swing my legs out of bed. I have to lie motionless for a few minutes and make a mental commitment to the act of propelling myself upright.

The Next Big Thing!
These days it seems like everybody on the planet, or at least in the Western World, is laying claim to being a genius. And, according to one definition of the word, they may just be right.

Chronicles of a Failed Wannabe
Part One It was December 1975, a few days before Christmas, when the boss told us all to go to the Gregsons Well pub at lunchtime. He said that he had a very nice surprise for us all as a thank you for all of our hard work. We presumed that he was going to give us all a well-deserved and much-needed cash bonus.
