Gentle readers, in my last post we covered a whole slew of reasons why it’s important people step forward and speak up. In this post we’ll continue the theme and address exactly HOW you’re supposed to carry it off!
I find it interesting when those in leadership roles say, “We have an open door policy here. [...]
Q: Dear Laura, what’s taking you so darned long to tell us about Day 2 of your elk hunting trip? We’re beginning to wonder if you really did “bring home the bacon”!
A: Okay, okay. Now just simmer down. We all know a good story takes time and because of a few skeptics who shall go unnamed, (“I can’t believe a creampuff [...]
Ever had to sit through one of those excruciatingly boring teleclasses, virtual meetings or webinars? You know the ones. You’ve got someone droning on and on and on until anything within sight serves as a worthy distraction. How about that speck of dust floating by? That’s interesting…look how it’s shaped. Look how it floats softly down from [...]
Mike Rosen at 850 KOA addressed an issue this week that’s got parents, school districts, bus drivers and state governments up in arms. The issue is school bus drivers talking on cell phones while driving children to and from school.
Last week an 850 KOA listener called in to the radio station tip line to say he noticed a Denver Public School bus [...]
While I know you’re just chomping at the bit to read the next segment of my elk hunting story, I just had to slip this one in.
Last week I discovered my Dad’s website hosting plan had expired and since I manage it for him, I hurried to have them reinstate it. This particular company does [...]
What’s it like to be the only woman on an elk hunt with five gentlemen? It was pretty interesting! It was also a study in gender differences and the way men and women communicate.
Now, this wasn’t my first elk hunt, but it was the only one in the past five years where I’ve had a tag AND been [...]
I have a friend/client who is a D.A.R.E. Officer and he has the best stories!
Don’t know what D.A.R.E. is? It stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education – police officer led classroom instruction that teaches kids from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live drug and violence-free lives. D.A.R.E. was founded in [...]
A friend phoned me up the other night as he stopped by the local Post Office to check his mail. Then abruptly he said, “I’ll have to call you back.” There was some noise in the background, which made me wonder if someone was in the process of “going postal” – but he called back [...]
Where was I in 1976 when the greatest play in baseball occurred? Most likely, just finishing up Air Force technical training school and getting ready for my first duty assignment at K.I. Sawyer AFB in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Over 30 years later, I finally got to see the video of Rick Monday running across [...]
Just as I was drawn to see Freedom Writers, a story of how a dedicated teacher inspired a group of fractious and neglected Long Beach students, I was eager to see The Great Debaters too. Why? Because for one reason, Denzel Washington is a darned fine actor, but also because I just can’t get enough [...]
