The Big E – Explaining Autumn
I love autumn! It’s the season that bridges the heat of summer to the cooling winds of fall, and then proceeds into the very edges of winter. As I sit at my kitchen island glancing through the three decks of windows in front of me, I see the remaining leaves fall from the trees. This year’s fall came earlier than usual. Before the date on the calendar proclaimed its presence, pumpkins were separating from their vines, mums were budding, and the corn fields were stripped of their remnants. Slowly the yellow, red, orange, and variegated leaves edged out from among the multitude of deep green ones on the assorted trees on the property. Now, the few remaining leaves start fluttering to the ground. The branches are nearly naked from a nor’easter which passed through last week. The weeks of color are nearly gone. Suddenly, the view is primarily tree trunks, branches, and the foothills of the Appalachians, nearby.

Rarefied Heirs – Leadership, Part 1 of 2
Over the last month or so, I’ve been ruminating on Leadership. With a capital “L”. You can set a goal and achieve it. You can target a destination and arrive there. But a true leader never really arrives. They become an “expert of the journey”. And that, I’d suggest, is Leadership: It isn’t succeeding and then placing yourself above others to act as an example from on-high. It’s remaining accessible – a real-time role model – and taking others along with you on that road to success.

Did You Know? – “Lights, Camera…Action!”
I recently participated in some press for the 25th anniversary of the smash movie “BEST IN SHOW,” which made me think of just how far-reaching the media has permeated the Dog Sport. For years, it was just the yearly national broadcast of “The Garden”…live from New York City, every February. John-Q Public retained more than a momentary notice of the pageantry of pooches, and the desire to own a purebred dog grew. But so did some distractions.
