2023 Week 39 – Say (Swiss) Cheese!
What’s Going On:We’re getting ready for this year’s Leadership Exchange in Zurich, Switzerland. We had delegates start arriving on Saturday and planned a cruise on Lake Zurich while waiting for the final attendees to arrive (and to help people stay awake). We officially started things on Sunday with a Labor Market Overview and a deep…

2023 Week 38 – International Travel
What’s Going On:I just flew into Zurich and, boy, are my arms tired! Sorry for the old joke but crossing the Atlantic is no joke! I’m visiting for work and part of the support staff for a Leadership Exchange trip bringing approximately 100 CEOs and elected officials to Zurich Switzerland to learn about the apprenticeship…

2023 Week 32/33 – Pizza Pizza!
What’s Going On:I missed the weekly post again last weekend, so it’s another double post this time around. We’ve been very fortunate with the weather this summer, but that’s about to come to an end this week, with temps hitting 99 degrees on Wednesday and 102 on Thursday (ouch). What I’m Eating:I’m a big fan…

2023 Week 31 – River Cruising
What’s Going On:As I continue studying to upgrade my Amateur Radio license, I’ve added a couple of “stealth” antennas to the attics in my house. Unfortunately, because of my HOA, I can’t put anything on the outside of the house; I’m limited to using the attic space for the equipment. While not ideal, it’s been…

2023 Week 30 – All Along the Cairo Skywatch Tower
What’s Going On:I finally booked my flights for an upcoming business trip to Switzerland. Getting there wasn’t the challenge; it was trying to figure out what to do with the couple of days I had after the conference was over (too many options!). Right now, I’m planning on taking a train to Paris for an…

2023 Week 27 – Gettin’ Stuff Done
What’s Going On:It’s going to be a busy week as people return from vacations and deadlines start to loom. Last week was a 3-day week, and with so many people out of the office, it was a good time to get caught up on some low-priority tasks and prep for some big meetings coming up…

2023 Week 24/25 – Road Trip!
What’s Going On:*Warning* This will be a LONG post covering a week-long trip with lots of links, photos, and me rambling on for a while. It was nice to return to a 3-day weekend after a week on the road last week (more on that later). Besides getting the tent out to dry off, I…

2023 Week 22 – Wanna Trade?
What’s Going On:Sierra Trading Post (now just Sierra) recently opened a brick-and-mortar store on the NW side of Indianapolis. I remember (mail) ordering from them back in the late 80s, and you could get just about anything you needed for camping and hiking. Over the years, I had all but forgotten about them and became…

2023 Week 21 – Sniff
Just in time for the holiday weekend, I somehow picked up a head cold. I started getting the throat tickle Thursday afternoon and had a full-on sore throat by bedtime. I thought it was going to turn into strep, but the throat felt better the next morning, although my sinuses were on fire. Friday night…
