Eye of the Tiger
Years ago, back in the days when I was still working in Human Resources, I went to a lot of job fairs. Hiring is a numbers game, so the more places I went, the more chances I had of filling my positions. I was at a rather poorly attended fair when the man from the… Continue reading Eye of the Tiger
Nostalgia Lagoon
A few weeks back a friend made reference to the song “Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.” I hadn’t heard that song in ages, so I used it to build a Pandora station.

Thinking about that period in my life always makes me smile, as I do every time Kenny Rogers or Mama and Papas come on the… Continue reading Music and the Mirror
