Reflecting on early experiences
My vices are few, and I think they relate to such good experiences that I can’t help but to have fallen in love – with Chocolate, Gaming, and the Shower… (I know, not what you might expect to see following the word vice, but they work for me)

Rochester hosted their third annual “Eyes On The Future” event this past week – it provided an interesting mix of information, encouragement, and advice.
The keynote speaker, Richard Bendis, suggested that we need to consider innovation and the global marketplace in our offerings. And when I looked at my own activities, I realized I’ve been on that page without thinking much about it.
