The majority of the holiday hustle and bustle is coming to an end. This week we get a breather. This is the week that if you are anything like me you are probably bloated, broke and burned out. This is the week where you look back at the past 365 days and say, “Where did […]
Read MoreI don’t normally eat fast food. But when I do, it usually leads to disappointment . For the past month a commercial from a big chain burger joint has been tempting me to try their new chicken sandwich. It looked amazing. It came with pickles. I’m a sucker for pickles. I managed to abstain, until […]
Read MoreFranchises. I wonder if you are thinking of Big Macs, your beloved sports team, or Double A-M-C-O…… There is plenty to like and dislike about franchise businesses, and I’ll bet whichever one you are thinking of gave you a strong association.

Read MoreI’m writing this from 30,000ft in the air on the trip my family was supposed to take exactly one year ago today. We didn’t go because, while we didn’t exactly know what was about to happen in the world, we knew things would get strange. But that’s a story for a different day, and, quite […]

Read MoreA Tale of Two Cities: well, it’s actually one city, Chicago, and the tale of two trips there in attempt to buy a vehicle with very different results.

Read MoreWho doesn’t love a good story? Since the dawn of time there’s been that image of a roaring fire and a group seated around it, each with their own story to tell.

Read MoreIt’s a beautiful sunny Las Vegas day. I’m in a corner writing to you all with headphones on to keep me from being distracted from one of the largest conventions for the automotive industry, AAPEX/SEMA that’s currently all around me.
