As I watched my oldest son, who is in the sixth grade, complete a Social Studies project on Interdependency of World Cultures, it dawned on me I might be missing something. Not that Peru has a diverse culture, but the search engine that people may be using and where my business was placed.
It was no surprise he used the Internet to find information to complete his project, but he surprised me when he went to Ask.com to find the information he was looking for. I assumed he would use Google. I use Google, … (7 comments)

Josette Skilling's blog on "No, Putting the Text of the Bonus in Bold Doesn't Work" got me thinking about price reductions. I've actually been thinking about price reductions for awhile. I know, who hasn't, but her blog moved me to write. I also saw a term today I had not seen before, reduction-aversion, on Mish's blog. As I read the blog it struck me. The blog is about new home inventory and how various Home Builders are handling price reductions, but the principle is the same. Supply and Demand.
When warranted and generally … (11 comments)

I've been following an interesting subject that affects the quality of life for residents of Hughesville and Southern Maryland. The subject is the addition of Commuter rail cars on existing CSX rail lines. This is an excellent opportunity to provide a valuable service to the residents of Hughesville and all of Southern Maryland.
Maryland Senator Roy Dyson has been trying for years to get some traction on this issue and it appears we may have some. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer apparently contacted Governer Martin O'Malley and Transportation Secretary Porcari to urge them … (4 comments)

I ran in the 2007 Marine Corps Marathon and raised money for Injured Marines and their families. My fundraising campaign was successful. I raised more money than my goal, I actually reached my goal early and raised it because folks were so generous. Donations came from friends, family, colleagues, and past clients. I started raising money in mid-May and stopped the last week of October.
When I received a donation I immediately emailed the donor with a thank-you. I didn't expect any response and rarely got one. During the course of the fundraising, … (11 comments)
