Here in the 'Valley of the Sun" where the winter brings mild temperatures and a multitude of outdoor events, we do not normally have much rain to spoil the fun!

But, that 4+ inches is more than double our average year to date 1.82 inches! In fact, we don't generally have 4 inches of rain until late July when we hit our monsoon season! … (0 comments)

The Get Motivated Business Seminar presented at America West Arena on Feb 4, 2010 was both an entertaining and inspiring day! The advertised goals of the event were things like goal achievement, team building, communication, time management and increased productivity but I found motivational life changing nuggets of wisdom from these dynamic speakers. Speakers included ports icons Kurt Warner and Steve Nash, successful businessmen Steve Forbes and Zig Ziggler, Rudy Giuliani, General Colin Powell and Laura Bush.

There certainly has been a lot of excitement lately about the new Phoenix light rail system which officially opened for passenger service in December 2008.
