In honor of this incredible milestone and major change in the … Continue reading Bluefield at 100

Should I Write a Book?
It’s a question I ask myself every now and then. And I’ve been asking myself off and on for many years. I think about it. I get excited about the ideas and the possibilities. I get overwhelmed. I doubt my abilities. I wonder if I could ever even find the required time. I quit before … Continue reading Should I Write a Book?
Fifteen Years Later
It's funny... There was a time when I said that I would eventually stop doing these annual posts marking the anniversary of my father's passing.

Question of the Week #297
If you knew that devoting yourself to an all-consuming occupation--music, writing, acting, business, politics, or medicine--for 20 years would make you one of the best in the world at it, would you?
